About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X15
Twin guide rods exiting both covers give this stainless round-body mini cylinder equal thrust in both directions, generating 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushions at each end soak up end-of-stroke shock, making the 15 mm travel ideal for fast, guided moves. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Because a rod occupies each side, the effective area matches on extension and retraction, yielding a safe working load of about 207 N or a 17.6 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. This non-ISO-6432 32 mm bore uses a 1/4 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without upgrading to an -S variant.

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 MICD32X15 Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Exerts 345.6 N of equal clamping pressure in both directions to grip and release parts rapidly without end-of-stroke hammering.
Divert Gate Actuation
Twin rods resist rotational twist during high-speed lane diverting, while the adjustable cushions absorb the shock of abrupt 15 mm shifts.
Product Pusher
Pushes lightweight cartons with a 207 N safe working load, using the double-rod geometry to maintain precise alignment on the return stroke.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 345.6 N unit, stepping down to a 25 mm MICD bore drops the 0.5 MPa force to 206.1 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore raises it to 527.8 N. Choose this double-rod configuration with adjustable cushions when your application demands equal force both ways and smooth deceleration over the 15 mm stroke. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on double-rod models.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
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 MICD32X15 FAQ
It delivers equal force both ways because a rod exits each cover. The thrust is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select an -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston and do not lock the load.
