The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID32X300S is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 345.6 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses a through-rod design to balance extend and retract forces. Because a Ø12 mm rod exits both end covers, the working area is identical on each side, completely eliminating the push-pull force differential found in single-rod units. The twin-rod construction also resists rotation and side load, providing steadier guiding for lighter jobs without an external guide rail.
Built with a riveted stainless barrel and rod, the unit shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown environments. It features a 1/4" port, male M10x1.25 rod threads, and operates at 30-800 mm/s. With a safe working load around 207 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), it can vertically lift about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

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.
With 345.6 N of equal force both ways, this cylinder smoothly drives a 300 mm parts shuttle back and forth without the speed or force variance typical of single-rod units.
The extended rear rod provides a convenient mounting point to physically trip a limit switch or carry a position flag, keeping the front workspace clear of sensors.
The twin Ø12 mm rods resist torsional twist and side loading, allowing the cylinder to push packages steadily along a conveyor without needing an external guide rail.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to a MID25 (206.1 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter duties, or step up to a MID40 (527.8 N at 0.5 MPa) if you need more muscle. The double-rod layout is ideal when you need anti-rotation stability, want to trip a switch from the back rod end, or need to drive a second load simultaneously. For mounting, choose LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers; note the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this variant.
Keep in mind the fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke end and do not function as a lock. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load. To maintain position on air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design occupies both sides of the piston, force is equal both ways. It delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. However, it does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts and the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end. Use an external rod lock for holding.
