The AirTAC Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, ensuring equal thrust in both directions while resisting rotation during fast moves. Fitted with an adjustable air cushion at each end, the MICD32X100 soaks up end-of-stroke shock at high speed, protecting your payload. The stainless barrel and rod offer mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments.
Delivering 345.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa through its 1/8 inch port, it provides a safe working load of about 207 N. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load on air loss.

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).
| MICD | round-body mini cylinder (double-rod, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Pushes packages sideways on a high-speed belt using equal thrust both ways, while the adjustable cushion absorbs the shock of sudden stops.
Holds a workpiece securely during machining; the twin rods resist rotational twist and maintain alignment under 345.6 N of clamping force.
Folds heavy carton flaps rapidly. The stainless build handles mildly humid packing areas, and the cushions prevent end-of-stroke impact damage.
For lighter duties, the MICD25 bore provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MICD40 offers 527.8 N for heavier loads. This 32 mm bore hits a strong middle ground. The double-rod plus adjustable cushion combination is ideal when you need guided, non-rotating motion with smooth deceleration at high speeds. If you need position feedback, select the -S magnet variant instead of this base model.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets; the SDB pivot block is not available on this double-rod design. For vertical loads, remember the cylinder drifts on air loss. Add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position, as the cushion needle only decelerates and never brakes.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal force both ways: 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. The air port is 1/8 inch.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. You must order the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston; they do not hold the load.
