About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X100S
Twin rods exit both end covers of this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while actively resisting rotation. Because the MICD40X100S uses a through-rod design, the piston pushes and pulls with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Adjustable needle air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload during rapid 30-800 mm/s cycles.
The 40 mm bore uses a 1/4 inch port and a 16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 317 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), meaning it can vertically lift about 26.9 kg each way with a 2:1 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 Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 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 MICD40X100S Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
Drives a heavy diverting gate on a packaging line where the twin rods resist side loads and the adjustable cushions absorb the shock of rapid 100 mm strokes at high speed.
Vertical Material Lift
Hoists a 26 kg parts tote vertically using the equal both-ways 527.8 N force, relying on the through-rod to maintain smooth guidance without twisting during transfer.
Component Stamping Stop
Acts as an adjustable stop on a stamping line, using the rear exiting rod to trip a CMSG sensor while the front cushion needle prevents endcap impact damage.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing both ways, stepping down to the MICD32 lowers the equal both-ways thrust to 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 40 mm bore provides 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; there is no larger standard MICD bore available. Choose this double-rod plus adjustable cushion combination when you need guided, fast, shock-sensitive moves that require identical force extending and retracting.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does 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. For mounting, select LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (the SDB pivot block is not offered on this double-rod variant), and pair the built-in magnet with 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 MICD40X100S FAQ
It provides equal force both ways: 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 107.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 40 mm bore features a 1/4 inch air port and a 16 mm piston rod.
The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends to reduce shock; they do not lock or hold the load on air loss. The -S indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
