About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X600SU
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty linear motion across its 600 mm travel. The 40 mm bore uses a 1/4 inch port and a 16 mm piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard stroke limit, this specific unit is manufactured as a non-standard, made-to-order configuration.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod provide mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments. A defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune deceleration and eliminate end-of-stroke shock at high speeds. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of about 377 N, lifting roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X600SU Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Leverages the 628.3 N push force to push heavy cartons at 800 mm/s while the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slamming at the 600 mm stroke end.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises packaging chutes weighing up to 32 kg using the 0.5 MPa thrust, relying on the stainless build for washdown compatibility in food lines.
Material Ejection
Ejects dense molded parts from presses, using the 1/4 inch port for rapid exhaust and the needle-set cushions to protect tooling from impact shock.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X600SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a MIC32 yields 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while no larger MIC bore exists in the series. The adjustable cushion is essential here because high-speed strokes generate significant kinetic energy that a fixed bumper cannot absorb. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It features a U-style back cover for 90-degree mounting orientation. You can pair the body with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets to suit your frame.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X600SU FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and an M12x1.25 rod thread. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never a lock. For vertical loads that must be held during air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
