Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X50
The AirTAC Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X50
Built with a stainless-steel round barrel and twin piston rods, this double-acting mini cylinder exits both covers to deliver equal force in both directions. An adjustable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, while the standard ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures it drops into standard mini brackets and clevises easily.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 206.1 N of thrust each way, translating to a safe working load of roughly 124 N or a 10.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread handle the 30-800 mm/s speed range, but note this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host position sensors.

Where the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X50 Is Used
Package Diverting
Equal push and pull force makes this cylinder ideal for rapidly actuating conveyor sorting gates, while the twin rods prevent torsional twisting under off-center loads.
Controlled Descent
Moving a 10 kg fixture downward repeatedly is handled safely, as the adjustable air cushions absorb the end-of-stroke impact during fast 50 mm vertical transfers.
Pallet Stopper
The stainless construction resists mild washdown moisture, and the double-rod design lets the rear protrusion trip an external mechanical stop while the front arrests pallets.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X50 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the MICD20X50 provides 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MICD32X50 yields 345.6 N. Choose this 25 mm bore when a guided, non-rotating drive needs balanced force both ways alongside variable end-cushioning for fast cycling. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never a lock. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external pilot check valve or rod lock. You can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot block is not offered on double-rod models). To add CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, you must select the -S magnet variant.
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 MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X50 FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, the force is equal both ways. It provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. There is no larger single-rod push value for this model.
This specific SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends use a needle valve to trap and exhaust air to decelerate the piston near stroke end, absorbing shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s without acting as a physical brake.
