The AirTAC Airtac MICD Air Cushion Double Rod Mini Cylinder MICD40X75S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Twin rods exit both covers of this stainless round-body mini cylinder, yielding identical thrust in extend and retract while resisting rotation. As a double-acting actuator with a 40 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, it generates 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa each way. Needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, making the unit ideal for guided, fast moves. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
With a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread, this variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa. Based on the 0.5 MPa output, expect a safe working load around 317 N, or a vertical lift of about 26.9 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near 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 Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| 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).

| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Handles 26.9 kg cartons at speed on a sorting line, using the twin rods to resist twist during lateral pushes while cushions absorb end impact.
Ejects stamped parts with 317 N of safe working force, relying on equal thrust both ways to retract the part cleanly without shock damage.
Acts as a high-speed stopper for pallets, where the through-rod backs a hard stop and the adjustable cushion decelerates the load smoothly.
For tasks needing less push, the smaller MICD32 bore provides 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 40 mm bore is the largest available in the series with no larger option. Choose this double-rod configuration with adjustable cushions when a fast, guided, shock-sensitive move is required. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on double-rod variants. The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. To prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
It provides equal force both ways at 527.8 N @0.5 MPa and 738.9 N @0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 107.6 kgf. The air port is 1/4".
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. Use an external rod lock for holding.
