The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X80CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation. The Ø40 mm bore operates on a 1/4" port, while the CM round rear cover provides specific mounting orientation. As a larger non-ISO-6432 unit, it brings substantial thrust to compact spaces.
The defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to needle-set the deceleration to eliminate end-of-stroke shock at high speeds. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. With a 628.3 N push rating, it yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, meaning it can lift about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

| 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.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes heavy cartons at high speed onto secondary lines, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the 628 N thrust smoothly without damaging the goods.
Folds large cardboard flaps on pallet loads, using the 32 kg vertical lift capacity and washdown-resistant stainless construction to handle demanding packaging zones.
Ejects dense manufactured parts from a press bed, where the 1/4" port and substantial 879.6 N force at 0.7 MPa ensure positive displacement under load.
When sizing this 80 mm stroke unit, dropping down to the Ø32 bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MIC bore exists above Ø40. The adjustable cushion matters most when moving heavy loads at high speed, as it smoothly decelerates the piston without harsh impacts.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. Furthermore, the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end and does not function as a brake; the piston will drift if air pressure drops, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for holding loads.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/4" port and an 80 mm stroke. 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, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the load near stroke end and is not a braking mechanism.
