The AirTAC Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X200S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal 345.6 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa while naturally resisting rotation. The adjustable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, making the 200 mm travel smooth and reliable. Because this is a 32 mm bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 size yet retains the compact riveted construction with a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread.
The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 207 N, which translates to a vertical lift of about 17.6 kg each way when using a 2:1 safety margin. The stainless barrel and rod offer mild washdown resistance, although the cushion only decelerates the load and does not lock it in place on air loss.

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.

|---|---|
| 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).

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the equal 345.6 N force both ways to push a sorting flap across a 200 mm gap, with the twin rods keeping the gate from twisting under uneven package friction.
Ejects machined parts at high speed from a fixture; the adjustable air cushions absorb the rapid 200 mm stroke shock to protect delicate tooling edges.
Raises and lowers a 15 kg product stopper on a packaging line, safely within the 17.6 kg vertical lift margin while relying on the -S magnet to confirm position.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, dropping down to the 25 mm MICD reduces the 0.5 MPa force to 206.1 N, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases it to 527.8 N. Choose this double-rod configuration with adjustable cushions when a guided, fast motion needs equal force both ways without end-of-stroke slamming. The twin rods prevent twisting, but remember the air cushion is strictly for deceleration and will not hold the load if air pressure drops; use an external pilot check valve for that.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion blocks, but the SDB pivot block is not available on this double-rod variant. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is already installed, so you can directly fit CMSG or EMSG sensors without further modification.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both ends, the force is equal both ways: 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" port and a 12 mm rod.
No, the adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts as a shock absorber, not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. The -S magnet enables position sensing.
