Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD20X200
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD20X200 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel for mildly corrosive environments. For the same bore and stroke it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting space.

About the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD20X200
Twin rods exiting both covers give this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder equal force in both directions, generating 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdowns, while the body is intentionally shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same 20 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock for smooth, quiet motion. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches on the rear rod. With a 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod threads, it yields a safe working load of roughly 79 N, or about 6.7 kg of vertical lift each way with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD20X200 Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Moves a 6 kg electronics tray between stations at high speed, using the second rod to mount a parallel gripper without rotational drift.
Dual-End Divertor
Pushes light packages from a belt using equal force both ways, with the needle cushion absorbing the 200 mm stroke shock quietly.
Symmetrical Clamp
Clamps a thin metal sheet from both ends simultaneously, keeping the workpiece centred during rapid machining cycles.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD20X200 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the MFCD20 over the MFCD25 when 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, as the larger bore provides 206.1 N but requires more space. The twin rods here steady the load and cut side-play for high-speed anti-rotation tasks or shock-sensitive twin-tool setups. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion; there is no SDB or back-cover code because a rod exits both ends. Note that this plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the variable air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/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/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD20X200 FAQ
It delivers equal force both ways: 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 26.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8".
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch. You need the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors on the rear rod.
