AirTAC MICD Series Double-Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinders
The AirTAC MICD series is a double-acting, double-rod stainless steel mini cylinder (16-40 mm bore) offering equal push/pull force, anti-rotation and adjustable air cushions for high-speed actuation.

The MICD series is the double-rod, adjustable-air-cushion version of the AirTAC MI stainless mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, providing equal push and pull force while preventing rotation. It spans five bores from 16 to 40 mm. At 0.5 MPa, the reduced-area pull-side force spans from about 100 N on the 16 mm bore up to about 528 N on the 40 mm bore.
Shared design features include a stainless steel barrel, double-acting operation, and an adjustable air cushion needle at both ends. This cushion soaks up shock at high speeds by decelerating the piston near stroke end. It is strictly a deceleration device, not a lock or brake. The series includes a magnet option (-S) for use with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
The 16, 20 and 25 mm bores conform to the ISO 6432 mounting standard and use 1/8 inch ports. The larger 32 and 40 mm bores are non-ISO-6432 round-body sizes with 1/4 inch ports. Choose MICD over the MID variant when you need tunable end-of-stroke control on fast or heavy mini moves instead of a fixed bumper.

Typical Applications
Pick-and-Place Grippers
The double-rod anti-rotation design keeps grippers aligned without twist during fast vertical or horizontal transfers, while the adjustable cushion absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
High-Speed Diverters
Equal push and pull force ensures consistent actuation in both directions for sorting packages, with the stainless barrel resisting debris in demanding transport environments.
Carton Sealing Mechanisms
Tunable air cushions allow heavy 32 and 40 mm bore moves to decelerate smoothly without slamming, preventing damage to packaging materials and mechanical joints.
How to Choose the Right Model
Select a bore based on your load and available pressure. The 16-25 mm ISO 6432 bores fit standard mini cylinder mounts, while the 32/40 mm non-ISO round bodies handle higher loads up to 528 N. Choose MICD when your application requires anti-rotation, equal push/pull force, and adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration. If you only need basic single-rod actuation, step down to the MIC series; if you need a fixed bumper without adjustment, look at the MID series.
Before submitting an RFQ, confirm these five points: the exact bore size (16-40 mm), the required stroke length, the port thread (1/8 or 1/4 inch), the mounting style, and whether you need the -S magnet option for sensor tracking. If load holding is required when pressure is lost, note that an air cushion cannot hold position; you must add a mechanical lock, rod brake or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and available mounting space
- ✓ Port / thread type (PT / NPT / G)
- ✓ Sensor / magnet option (-S)?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided model
Frequently Asked Questions
The series spans five bores: 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40 mm. At 0.5 MPa, the reduced-area pull-side force ranges from about 100 N on the 16 mm bore to about 528 N on the 40 mm bore. Push and pull forces are equal because it is a double-rod design.
The MICD is a double-rod cylinder with adjustable air cushions at both ends. The MID is also double-rod but uses a fixed bumper instead of a tunable cushion. The MIC is a single-rod cushioned cylinder. Choose MICD for anti-rotation plus tunable end-of-stroke control.
Only the 16, 20 and 25 mm bores conform to the ISO 6432 mounting standard and use 1/8 inch ports. The 32 and 40 mm bores are larger, non-ISO-6432 round-body sizes and use 1/4 inch ports.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to soak up shock at high speeds. It is not a lock, hold or brake. If load holding is required when air pressure is lost, you must use a mechanical lock, rod brake or pilot check valve.
