About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X60U
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting actuator is built as a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder rather than a tie-rod or profile design. The corrosion-resistant barrel and rod suit washdown environments, while the U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation. A 1/4" port feeds the chamber, and the 16 mm rod uses an M12x1.25 male thread.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends let you dial in needle-set deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, cutting noise and load impact better than a fixed bumper. This base SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; choose the -S variant if you require position sensing. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X60U Is Used
High-Mass Diverting
Drives heavy diverter arms on packaging lines at speed, using the adjustable cushions to halt the 32 kg load smoothly without slamming the endcap.
Vertical Lowering
Lowers weighted chutes in washdown zones; the stainless build resists mild corrosion while the needle-set cushion brakes the descent at the bottom.
Pallet Stopper
Acts as a high-force stop for loaded pallets, absorbing the repeated kinetic shock of impacts at 800 mm/s to protect the mechanical structure.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X60U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC32 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MIC bore exists above it. Select this model when moving heavier masses at high speeds where the adjustable end cushions are essential to prevent endcap slam. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensors.
The air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC40X60U FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 male 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 force of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushions at both ends serve only to decelerate the load near stroke end, not to hold position.
