About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X175
Twin piston rods exit both covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding identical thrust in both directions and built-in resistance to rotation. The MICD32X175 pushes and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while adjustable air cushions at each end soak up end-of-stroke shock during fast 175 mm traverses. This combination of equal force and deceleration makes it ideal for guided, shock-sensitive moves.
The stainless steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because the rod passes through both ends, the rear extension can conveniently trip a mechanical stop. This non-magnet SKU cannot host position sensors; add the -S option to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Ports are 1/4" and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.

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 MICD32X175 Is Used
Package Diverting
Equal push and pull thrust of 345.6 N smoothly actuates a diverting arm on a packaging line, while the twin rods prevent torsional twisting during rapid strokes.
Pallet Stopping
Adjustable air cushions absorb the kinetic energy of fast 175 mm strokes when halting pallets, preventing harsh end-cover impacts in high-speed logistics.
Component Clamping
The stainless build resists coolant spray while providing 207 N of safe clamping force on machined parts, ensuring secure holding without rotational drift.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X175 the Right Cylinder?
With a 0.5 MPa output of 345.6 N, this bore handles heavier tasks than the MICD25 (206.1 N) but offers less force than the larger MICD40 (527.8 N). It provides a safe working load of roughly 207 N, or a vertical lift of about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this double-rod plus adjustable cushion setup when you need equal push/pull forces and smooth deceleration at high speeds.
Remember that air cushions only decelerate near the stroke end and do not function as a lock; the piston will drift if air pressure drops. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on double-rod builds.
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 MICD32X175 FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, the force is equal both ways. 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. The 1/4" port supplies air for these operations.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing. It features a stainless steel build and adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate loads, but it will not hold position on air loss.
