About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X400S
Twin piston rods exit both end covers of this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, yielding identical push and pull thrust of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. Because the bore is Ø32, it falls outside the ISO 6432 mounting interface, yet the rugged riveted build resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. An adjustable needle air cushion at each end soaks up kinetic energy at stroke termination, making the 400 mm travel safer at high cycling speeds.
With a 1/4 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, this double-acting actuator delivers equal force both ways. The built-in magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 207 N, which translates to vertically lifting about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

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 MICD32X400S Is Used
Carton Diverting Gate
Uses the twin rods to resist twisting as it shunts heavy boxes off a high-speed belt, while the end cushions absorb the 400 mm stroke impact.
Film Roll Splicing
Equal push and pull force of 345.6 N securely positions a packaging web splicer, with the adjustable cushion preventing end-of-stroke bounce.
Vertical Parts Lift
Raises roughly 17.6 kg of inventory between conveyor tiers using the through-rod design, maintaining smooth deceleration at high speeds.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X400S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, dropping down to the MICD25 lowers the equal both-ways thrust to 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MICD40 raises it to 527.8 N. Choose this double-rod configuration when your mechanism demands resistance to rotation and identical extension and retraction forces. The adjustable air cushions are strictly for decelerating the load near the stroke ends; they do not function as a brake or lock. If the machine loses air pressure, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Mounting options include LB foot brackets, FA flanges, and TC trunnions, but the SDB pivot block is not offered on this double-rod variant. The -S suffix indicates the piston is magnetized for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
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 MICD32X400S 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. The air port size is 1/4 inch.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and never acts as a lock or brake. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to track position, but an external rod lock is required to hold a load safely.
