About the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X60S
Twin rods exit both end covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding identical thrust in both directions and built-in resistance to rotation. The MICD40X60S generates 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa on both faces, while adjustable air cushions at each end soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock.
The Ø40 bore uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. Because the -S suffix includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing. The stainless steel barrel and rod withstand mild washdowns, and the design provides a safe working load of about 317 N, moving roughly 26.9 kg vertically each way with a 2:1 margin.

| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| 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 |
| Cushion | Variable air cushion, both ends |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
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 MICD40X60S Is Used
Product Diverting
Equal thrust both ways lets a twin-rod mechanism push and retract packages at 527.8 N without twisting, while the cushions absorb rapid reversals.
Film Sealing Press
The guided rods resist rotation during precise sealing jaw closure, and the adjustable air cushion prevents end-stop slamming at high cycle speeds.
Pallet Stopper Gate
A rear rod trips a limit switch while the front rod halts pallets; the stainless build handles damp environments and mild washdown.
Is the Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X60S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the smaller Ø32 MICD bore provides 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; the Ø40 is the largest available in this series, so for higher loads you must switch to a different family. Choose this double-rod plus adjustable-cushion combination when you need fast, guided, shock-sensitive moves. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it is not a lock or brake, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load on air loss.
Mount this non-ISO-6432 round-body cylinder using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets; the SDB pivot block is not offered on the double-rod variant. Position sensing is ready out of the box thanks to the built-in magnet.
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 MICD40X60S FAQ
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits each end. It delivers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 107.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means a magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it is not a lock or brake.
