About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X60
Equal force in both directions defines this AirTAC double-acting mini cylinder, generated by a through-rod that exits both covers to resist rotation and provide a 206.1 N output at 0.5 MPa. The stainless-steel round barrel and rod offer reliable mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments, while needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock.
Dropping into standard brackets via its ISO 6432 mounting interface, this 25 mm bore unit moves a 60 mm stroke at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. It uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. For sizing a light-duty vertical lift, expect it to move about 10.5 kg each way with a 2:1 safety margin, yielding a safe working load near 124 N.

Where the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X60 Is Used
Belt Diverter Arm
Drives a reversing guide flap with equal 206.1 N force both ways, while the twin rods resist torsional twist during rapid package sorting.
Light Press Head
Lowers a 10 kg stamping tool at high speed and relies on the adjustable air cushions to prevent harsh metal-on-metal impact at the 60 mm stroke end.
Pallet Stop Gate
Raises and lowers a physical barrier on a roller line, using the through-rod to trip a mechanical limit switch on the back cover.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X60 the Right Cylinder?
If your payload is lighter, the Ø20 MICD provides 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas heavier guided setups step up to the Ø32 MICD at 345.6 N. This Ø25 model hits a balanced middle ground for fast, shock-sensitive moves where the twin-rod construction prevents twisting. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
Mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on double-rod variants. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must select the -S version for position sensing.
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 MICD25X60 FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, force is equal both ways: 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The unit features adjustable air cushions at both ends, but note these only decelerate the piston and do not lock or hold the load on air loss.
