About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X250
Twin piston rods exit both end covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal force in both directions (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) while resisting rotation. An adjustable air cushion at each end soaks up kinetic energy at the stroke limits, making the 250 mm travel suitable for fast, shock-sensitive moves. The stainless barrel and rod provide mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments.
Because a rod occupies the pull side, you use the rod-side area for thrust calculations in both directions. This yields a safe working load of about 207 N (60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) or a vertical lift of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin. This non-magnetic SKU lacks the -S option and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The 1/4 inch port matches the larger 32 mm bore 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 MICD32X250 Is Used
Carton Diverting
Pushes packages sideways on a belt with equal 345.6 N force extending and retracting, while the twin rods prevent twist during the 250 mm shift.
Film Roll Tensioning
Maintains steady tension on packaging material. The adjustable air cushions absorb the high-speed reversals at both stroke ends without jerking the web.
Guided Lift Gate
Raises and lowers a light internal gate. The through-rod design ensures the 17.6 kg vertical load moves smoothly both up and down without sagging.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X250 the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller Ø25 MICD delivers 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the larger Ø40 MICD provides 527.8 N. Choose this double-rod and adjustable-cushion combination when you need guided, non-rotating motion with end-of-stroke shock absorption at high speeds. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps and does not function as a lock or brake. For holding a load on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (the SDB pivot block is not available on this double-rod variant).
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 MICD32X250 FAQ
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits each end. It generates 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 specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the load and do not lock or hold position.
