About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X60SCM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC40X60SCM is a robust double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding motion tasks. It features a stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Unlike standard bumper units, this model uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate heavy loads smoothly at high speeds, protecting your machinery from end-of-stroke impact.
The integrated -S piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection, while the CM round rear cover provides flexible port orientation. Driven by a 1/4" air port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread, it delivers a safe working load of roughly 377 N. This translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, making it highly effective for compact automation.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X60SCM Is Used
Heavy Package Diverting
Handles the kinetic energy of routing dense cartons on a high-speed sorter, using the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh slams at the 60 mm stroke end.
Vertical Material Lowering
Lowers 30 kg fixtures safely on the production line, relying on the 628.3 N push force and smooth end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the payload.
Carton Sealing Press
Drives a sealing head down onto heavy boxes with precise force, benefiting from the washdown-resistant stainless build and CM rear cover orientation.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X60SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, stepping down to an MIC32 yields 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the MIC40 is the largest available bore in this series with no larger standard option. Select this model when moving heavier masses at high cycling speeds, as the adjustable air cushion is essential for soaking up kinetic energy without harsh impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Mounting flexibility is provided through LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. The -S suffix indicates the factory-installed magnet required for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; a SKU without the S cannot accept a sensor.
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 MIC40X60SCM FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 879.6 N and pull to 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means it includes a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
