About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X15
Twin rods exit both covers on this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while resisting rotation. The MICD40X15 generates 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with needle-adjustable air cushions at each end to decelerate high-speed impacts.
Built with a 40 mm bore, a 16 mm rod, and a 1/4" port, it handles short 15 mm strokes with a safe working load of about 317 N. The stainless construction resists mild corrosion. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take sensors; the -S variant is required for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

| Acting type | Double acting, double rod + cushion |
| Port size | 1/4" |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |

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 MICD40X15 Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Uses the 527.8 N equal thrust to grip heavy metal parts securely in machining fixtures without rotational drift.
High-Speed Diverter
Twin rods withstand rapid side loads while the adjustable air cushions absorb end-of-stroke shock during fast package routing.
Washdown Sealing Press
Stainless steel barrel and rod survive mild washdowns as the 15 mm stroke quickly seals cartons with precise, guided force.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X15 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, the MICD32 bore provides 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MICD40 is the largest available in this series. This double-rod configuration with adjustable cushions suits fast, shock-sensitive moves where equal force both ways is needed. Remember the cushion only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. Mounting options include LB, FA, and TC, but SDB is not offered on this double-rod variant.
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 MICD40X15 FAQ
Force is equal both ways due to the double rod: 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. It uses a 1/4" port with a 16 mm rod.
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate near stroke end and do not lock the load on air loss.
