Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80
The AirTAC Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 MICD25X80
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, yielding 206.1 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions. The through-rod architecture resists rotation naturally, while needle-adjustable air cushions at each end soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
The stainless barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because a rod occupies each side, the effective thrust remains identical whether extending or retracting. Operating on a 1/8" port at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s, this 25 mm bore unit provides a safe working load of roughly 124 N. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80 Is Used
Belt Diverter Arm
Drives a sorting flap on a packaging line where the 206.1 N bidirectional force and twin-rod anti-rotation keep the deflection path precise at high cycle rates.
Light Milling Stop
Acts as an adjustable workpiece stop on a machining table, using the 80 mm stroke to clear the part path while the air cushions prevent harsh impacts at 800 mm/s.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds corrugated flaps simultaneously from both sides, relying on the equal push and pull forces to keep the cardboard centered without twisting the mechanism.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm stroke unit, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the MICD20X80 drops the 0.5 MPa force to 131.9 N, while stepping up to the MICD32X80 increases it to 345.6 N. The combination of a through-rod and adjustable air cushion is ideal for fast, guided, shock-sensitive moves where symmetrical force is mandatory. If your mechanism must hold position during an air loss event, remember that the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never a lock; you will need an external pilot check valve or rod lock for holding.
Mounting options include LB foot brackets, FA flanges, and TC trunnions, but the SDB pivot block is not offered on this double-rod variant. Back covers are available in CA, U, R, and CM styles. Because this base SKU has no internal magnet, position sensing is impossible unless you specify the -S option to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MICD25X80 FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and generates 206.1 N of force at 0.5 MPa, 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it is a double-rod design, these force figures are exactly equal in both the extend and retract directions.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The unit does feature adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate loads, but these are not locking brakes and will not hold the load if air pressure is lost.
