About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X150S
Twin guide rods exit both covers of this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder, ensuring identical thrust in both directions while naturally resisting rotation. The MICD32X150S pairs this symmetrical layout with adjustable air cushions at each end to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables seamless position tracking with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Operating at 0.5 MPa yields 345.6 Newtons of equal force, translating to a safe working load of roughly 207 Newtons or a 17.6 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The 1/4" port feeds the 12 mm rod, and the stainless construction provides reliable mild corrosion resistance for washdown settings.

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 MICD32X150S Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 345.6 N equal thrust to push cartons sideways at high speed while the twin rods prevent binding and the cushions absorb the stop shock.
Filler Head Lift
Raises and lowers filling nozzles with matched force both ways, relying on the adjustable cushions to prevent liquid splashing at stroke end.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-cycle pallet stop where the through-rod trips a remote sensor and the stainless build withstands damp dock environments.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X150S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties requiring under 207 Newtons of safe working load, the MICD25 series provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if your application needs more force, the larger MICD40 delivers 527.8 N. This 32 mm bore hits a balanced sweet spot for guided, shock-sensitive moves. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and does not function as a brake; for fail-safe load holding on air loss, specify an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mount this model using LB foot brackets, FA flanges, or TC trunnions, as the SDB pivot block is unavailable for the double-rod variant. The included magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for precise switching.
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 MICD32X150S FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of the stroke and act as a brake. For load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
