About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X10S
Built for high-speed, shock-sensitive moves, this AirTAC round-body mini cylinder sends a stainless rod out both covers to provide equal force both ways. The twin-rod layout resists rotation, while the adjustable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke impact. Because the bore is Ø40, it is a non-ISO-6432 size, yet the stainless-steel barrel and rod supply reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
With a 10 mm stroke, the unit generates 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa through its 1/4" port. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 317 N, letting you vertically lift about 26.9 kg 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 MICD40X10S Is Used
Riveting Head Feed
Uses the equal 527.8 N force and twin-rod anti-rotation to plunge a riveting head accurately over a 10 mm gap, with the air cushions protecting the tooling at high cycle rates.
Pallet Stop Gate
Deploys a rugged stop barrier on a conveyor line; the adjustable cushions absorb the shock of halting heavy pallets, while the stainless build handles mild washdown.
Guided Strip Clamping
Clamps metal strip during a cutting operation where the twin rods prevent jaw twisting and the 10 mm stroke delivers rapid, shock-free clamping at 738.9 N.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X10S the Right Cylinder?
If 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, the smaller Ø32 bore yields 345.6 N; stepping up is not an option as Ø40 is the largest MICD bore. This double-rod and adjustable cushion combination excels in fast, guided operations where decelerating shock protects the workpiece. Remember that the cushion only decelerates near stroke end—it does not lock or hold the load on air loss, so deploy an external rod lock or pilot check valve if position holding is required.
You can mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, but the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this double-rod variant. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for 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 MICD40X10S FAQ
It features a 1/4" port and delivers equal force both ways because a rod exits each end. The thrust is 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and the maximum theoretical force is 107.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix provides a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end to absorb shock; they do not lock or hold the load on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
