About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X25S
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal force in both directions and resisting rotation during fast moves. Because the bore is 32 mm, it sits outside the ISO 6432 range yet still provides a robust 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on each face. Adjustable needle air cushions at both ends soak up end-of-stroke shock at high speed.
The stainless barrel and piston rod withstand mild washdowns, while the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position tracking. With a 1/4 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, the unit moves about 17.6 kg vertically each way with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not act as a brake.

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 MICD32X25S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Holds workpieces securely during machining using 345.6 N of equal force, while the twin rods prevent jaw twist on uneven parts.
Package Diverting
Snaps a diverter arm out and back at high speed with identical force both ways, relying on the adjustable cushions to stop the arm smoothly without slamming.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raises and lowers a 17.6 kg carrier over a 25 mm stroke, using the through-rod design to trip a CMSG sensor on the back side for confirmation.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X25S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter guided moves, the MICD25 bore provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MICD40 yields 527.8 N. This 32 mm bore fits applications needing roughly 207 N of safe working load (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) with symmetrical push and pull. The double-rod layout combined with adjustable cushions is ideal when you need precise guidance and shock absorption over short strokes.
Position sensing requires the -S magnet variant to host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You can mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, but the SDB pivot block is not offered on this double-rod model. Remember that air loss will cause the piston to drift; install an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load in place.
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 MICD32X25S FAQ
It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, this force is equal in both directions. The air port is 1/4 inch.
No, the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends to absorb shock; they do not lock or brake the load. The -S magnet enables position sensing, and the stainless build resists mild corrosion, but you need an external rod lock to hold position on air loss.
