The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X80SCM 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.
With 628.3 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC40X80SCM is the most powerful round-body mini cylinder in the MIC range, yet it still fits into tight machine layouts. Its defining feature is the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends, which smoothly decelerates the piston before it bottoms out, so high-speed strokes don't hammer the load or generate shock noise.
The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown splashes, making this a solid pick for food-adjacent or damp environments. The built-in -S magnet lets you fit CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position feedback, while the CM rear cover gives you flexible port orientation. For a 2:1 safety margin, this bore size can safely lift about 32 kg vertically, and the 1/4" port keeps air flow strong for fast cycling.

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.
Move 30 kg payloads at up to 800 mm/s without end-of-stroke shock, thanks to the adjustable cushions that protect both the product and the machine frame.
The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa drives folding arms decisively, while the stainless barrel resists the occasional splash from cleaning lines.
Flick diverters into place at high cycle rates; the needle-set cushion lets you tune deceleration to match the package weight without bounce-back.
Size this cylinder against the MIC32, which delivers 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, if your load is lighter and you want a more compact package. If you need even more force, there is no larger MIC bore, so step up to a tie-rod cylinder or consider a larger bore from another series. The adjustable cushion earns its keep when you're running at high speed with a heavy load, as it protects both the machine and the product from end-of-stroke impact.
Remember that this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the cushion only decelerates near the end of stroke. For vertical applications where the load must stay put, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet means CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors can be mounted directly, and the CM back cover lets you orient the rear port to suit your plumbing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 628.3 N and pull is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 879.6 N and pull to 738.9 N. Theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 40 mm bore uses a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm piston rod with M12x1.25 thread.
The cushion is a needle-valve at each end that you turn to control how fast the piston decelerates as it approaches the end cap. It absorbs kinetic energy at high speed, reducing shock and noise, but it is not a lock or brake. The -S suffix means a built-in magnet is fitted, so you can attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG proximity switches for position sensing.
