Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80S
The AirTAC Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80S 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 MICD25X80S
Twin rods exit both covers on this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while resisting rotation during fast moves. Equipped with a variable air cushion at each end, the MICD25X80S soaks up end-of-stroke shock at high speeds up to 800 mm/s. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.
At 0.5 MPa it generates 206.1 N of force each way, translating to a safe working load of about 124 N or a 10.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets, and the stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.

Where the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80S Is Used
Belt Divertor Gate
Uses the twin rods to push a diverting flap cleanly across a belt without twisting, while the adjustable cushions absorb the 80 mm stroke impact at high cycling speeds.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds heavy cardboard flaps with equal 206.1 N force both ways, relying on the stainless build to withstand dusty packaging lines and occasional washdowns.
Light Grinding Head
Applies consistent equal pressure up and down on a grinding spindle, using the rear rod to carry a mechanical stop while the cushions prevent jarring at stroke reversal.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD25X80S the Right Cylinder?
If 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MICD20 bore which provides 131.9 N; if your payload requires more force, the MICD32 offers 345.6 N. Choose this double-rod configuration when your mechanism needs equal push and pull forces, anti-rotation stability, or a rear rod to trip a stop. The adjustable cushions are essential for preventing end-stroke banging in high-speed cycles.
Position sensing requires the -S magnet fitted here to host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You can mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, but the SDB pivot block is not offered on this double-rod variant. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
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 MICD25X80S 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 theoretical maximum of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø25 bore features a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
No, the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of the stroke and do not act as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold suspended loads safely.
