About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X40
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while actively resisting rotation. The adjustable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, making it ideal for guided, fast moves. At 0.5 MPa it generates 345.6 N of force each way, giving a safe working load of about 207 N or a 2:1 vertical lift margin of roughly 17.6 kg.
Built with a 1/8 inch port and a 12 mm piston rod threaded M10x1.25, the stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown. As a 32 mm bore, this is a non-ISO-6432 round-body unit. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant.

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 MICD32X40 Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes cartons sideways at 800 mm/s with equal thrust both ways, while the twin rods resist twist and the air cushions absorb the stop shock.
Component Seating
Presses bearings into housings using a 207 N safe working load, relying on the double rod for precise alignment and the cushion to prevent impact damage.
Pallet Stopper
Halts moving pallets on a line using the back rod as a physical stop, absorbing the kinetic energy through the adjustable end cushions.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X40 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the 25 mm bore provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 527.8 N. Choose this 32 mm model when you need substantial equal-both-ways force plus shock absorption. The adjustable needle cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion brackets, but the SDB pivot block is not available on this double-rod variant. Because this base SKU has no magnet, position sensing is impossible unless you select the -S magnet option to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
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 MICD32X40 FAQ
It provides equal force 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.
No, this base SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. You must select the -S variant for sensing. It features a stainless build and adjustable air cushions at both ends, not fixed bumpers.
