About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X100STC
Twin piston rods exit both covers of this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, delivering equal force in both directions and built-in resistance to mechanical twist. The MICD32X100STC pushes and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while adjustable needle valves at each end soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect your payload.
The 32 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild washdowns, and a computed safe working load is about 207 N (roughly 17.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 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 MICD32X100STC Is Used
Belt Diverter Arm
Drives a dual-sided sorting flap with 345.6 N of equal push and pull force, while the twin rods keep the flap aligned during rapid package redirection.
Component Press Stand
Presses small bearings at high speed with the adjustable air cushions absorbing the end-of-stroke impact, preventing damage to sensitive metal components.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises and lowers a light access gate with a safe working load near 207 N, relying on the through-rod design to maintain gate stability without twisting.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X100STC the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore yields 345.6 N both ways. If you need less force, the smaller Ø25 bore provides 206.1 N; if your application demands more, stepping up to the Ø40 bore gives 527.8 N. Choose this double-rod configuration when you need guided, non-rotating motion and rapid cycling that benefits from the adjustable air cushions at both ends.
The included -S magnet enables electronic or reed switch tracking. You can mount the cylinder using the TC trunnion accessory, but note that the SDB pivot block is not offered on this double-rod variant. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not function as a brake or lock. If you must hold a vertical load during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 MICD32X100STC FAQ
Because the double-rod design uses the rod-side area on both faces, force is equal in both directions. It provides 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means a piston magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The cylinder features an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed motion, but this is not a locking brake. The stainless steel round-body build also provides mild corrosion resistance.
