About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X700SCM
Delivering serious push power for a compact frame, the AirTAC MIC40X700SCM generates 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder features a 40 mm bore and a 700 mm stroke. Because 700 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum for this bore size, this specific unit is manufactured as a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It utilizes a 1/4 inch air port and a robust Ø16 mm piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread.
The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune deceleration and eliminate end-of-stroke banging at high cycling speeds. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), this model supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. 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. The CM round rear cover provides specific mounting and port orientation flexibility.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X700SCM Is Used
Heavy Vertical Lift Gates
Lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin using the 628.3 N push force, while the 700 mm stroke allows full opening of lowerator or access gates.
High-Speed Diverters
Cycles rapidly at up to 800 mm/s to push heavy packages, relying on the adjustable air cushions to prevent harsh impact at the 700 mm stroke end.
Washdown Test Fixtures
Clamps components securely in mildly corrosive environments using the stainless-steel round body, with the CM rear cover allowing precise port alignment.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X700SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, stepping down to an MIC32X50 yields 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while no larger MIC bore exists above this. The adjustable needle cushions are essential if you are moving heavier masses at high speeds, as they soak up kinetic energy smoothly. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. You can mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors; a SKU without the S designation cannot accept any switches.
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 MIC40X700SCM FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and acts as a bumper, not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss or valve centering. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position confirmation.
