About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X10S
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal force in both directions at 345.6 N (0.5 MPa) and 483.8 N (0.7 MPa). An adjustable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke shock during fast 30-800 mm/s cycles, while the through-rod design resists rotation. The Ø32 bore uses a 1/4" port and a male M10x1.25 rod thread.
Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can track position with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The stainless barrel and rod withstand mild washdowns. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 207 N, which lifts about 17.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this is a non-ISO-6432 round-body size.

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 MICD32X10S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Provides 345.6 N of equal clamping force in both directions to grip and release components rapidly without rotational play.
Diverting Gate
The through-rod handles fast 10 mm gate shifts on a packaging line, while the needle-set air cushion prevents harsh end impacts.
Parts Ejection
Twin rods deliver stable, guided ejection force to push finished parts out of a fixture, absorbing shock at high cycle speeds.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X10S the Right Cylinder?
If 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the MICD25 (206.1 N); if you need more power, the MICD40 delivers 527.8 N. This double-rod plus adjustable-cushion combination excels in short 10 mm strokes that demand precise, shock-free reversal. Mount it via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot block is unavailable for this variant.
The air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Position sensing requires the -S magnet included here.
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 MICD32X10S FAQ
The force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends. 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. It uses a 1/4" air port.
No. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the end of the stroke; they do not act as a brake. The piston will drift on air loss. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
