About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X100S
Twin rods exit both end covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while actively resisting rotation. The MICD32X100S pushes and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, integrating needle-set air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves smoothly. Its stainless barrel and rod withstand mild washdowns, and the built-in magnet supports position sensing.
Driven by a 1/4 inch port and a 12 mm piston rod, this double-acting actuator runs at 30-800 mm/s. The dual-rod geometry allows the rear rod to trip a switch or carry a stop independently. For sizing, a safe working load is about 207 N, which translates to lifting roughly 17.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X100S Is Used
Reciprocating Transfer
Shuttles parts along a belt at high speed, relying on the twin rods to resist twist and the adjustable cushions to soften end-of-stroke impacts.
Flap Folding Arm
Pushes carton flaps evenly from both sides, using the equal 345.6 N bidirectional force to maintain precise, shock-free motion.
Component Sealing Press
Applies a steady clamping force to seat O-rings, utilizing the rear rod to trigger a downstream sensor via the internal magnet.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X100S the Right Cylinder?
If 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MICD25 variant for 206.1 N; if your application requires more power, the larger MICD40 provides 527.8 N. This 32 mm bore is ideal when you need equal push/pull force plus shock absorption for fast, guided payloads. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load on air loss.
Mount this actuator using LB foot brackets, FA flanges, or TC trunnions, as the SDB pivot block is not offered for double-rod builds. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
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 MICD32X100S FAQ
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits each end. It generates 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.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the payload near the stroke end and do not function as a lock. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
