About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X50S
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa on extension and retraction. The adjustable air cushions at each end soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, while the through-rod design resists rotation and provides a rear extension to trip external stops. A built-in magnet (-S) enables position sensing.
The Ø32 bore uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Because it is a double-rod build, the rod-side pull area dictates the force, giving a safe working load of about 207 N. This stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown, and note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load 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.
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 MICD32X50S Is Used
Belt Diverter Arm
Uses the twin rods to resist twisting while shuttling packages at 800 mm/s, with the air cushions absorbing the end-of-stroke impact.
Component Ejector
Pushes machined parts out of a fixture with 345.6 N of equal force both ways, relying on the rear rod extension to trip a limit switch.
Film Roll Brake
Maintains steady tension on packaging film where the symmetrical double-rod layout prevents rod binding and the stainless body handles washdown.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD32X50S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter moves, the smaller Ø25 MICD provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø40 MICD yields 527.8 N for heavier loads. This Ø32 model fits fast, guided, shock-sensitive tasks perfectly. Since the cylinder drifts on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load vertically.
Mount this unit using LB foot brackets, FA flanges, or TC trunnions, as the SDB pivot block is not offered for double-rod variants. The included -S magnet works directly with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for electronic or reed position sensing.
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 MICD32X50S FAQ
It delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum theoretical force of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, this force is exactly equal in both directions.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke to reduce shock; it does not act as a brake or lock, so you need a pilot check valve to hold a load.
