About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X80SU
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder tackles heavy-duty actuation where a standard ISO 6432 unit falls short. The Ø40 bore operates on a 1/4" port and features a robust Ø16 piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. Because it is a larger round-body mini cylinder, it steps outside the ISO 6432 mounting envelope while retaining a compact riveted barrel that resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends let you dial in the deceleration needle to silently absorb end-of-stroke shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s. This protects your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. Factoring a conservative safety margin, it handles a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X80SU Is Used
Heavy Carton Diversion
Swiftly pushes heavy packed cartons across a high-speed sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 80 mm stroke gently without jarring the conveyor frame.
Vertical Flap Folding
Drives thick packaging flaps downward on a continuous flow wrapper, relying on the 628.3 N push force and washdown-resistant stainless rod to maintain cycle speed.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for loaded pallets entering a stretch wrapper, absorbing the heavy kinetic impact through the precision needle-set air cushion.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X80SU the Right Cylinder?
If 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, stepping down to the MIC32 bore drops the output to 402.2 N; there is no larger standard MIC bore above 40 mm. Choose this 80 mm stroke variant when shifting heavier masses at high cycling rates, as the needle-set air cushion is essential for preventing end-of-stroke banging. The included U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting and port orientation for tight machinery layouts.
Bear in mind the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its travel and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during a complete air loss or when a valve is centered, the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. 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 MIC40X80SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 879.6 N and the pull to 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake, so the load will drift on air loss; use a pilot check valve for holding. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to be fitted for position sensing.
