The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
Needle-set air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock on this 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke cylinder. As a JIS-standard round-body mini, the SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers is shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same size, saving valuable machine space while resisting mild washdown.
Because a rod exits both covers, the MFCD25X100 generates equal force both ways—206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa via its 1/8" port. The twin rods resist torsional side-play, and you get a safe working load of about 124 N, or roughly 10.5 kg of vertical lift each way with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take position sensors.

Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 206.1 N bidirectional thrust to push and pull a 10 kg workpiece between stations at high speed without rotational drift.
Raises and lowers a 10 kg jig smoothly over 100 mm, relying on the needle-set air cushion to prevent slamming at both ends.
Steadies a measuring head against a part using the dual rods for anti-rotation stability, absorbing end-stroke shock in compact spaces.
Choose the MFCD25 over the MFCD20 (131.9 N at 0.5 MPa) when your payload needs that extra thrust, or step up to an MFCD32 (345.6 N) for heavier tooling. The variable air cushion shines on high-speed 100 mm strokes where decelerating a rotating load quietly matters. Remember the cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it is not a brake. For load holding on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover code exists since rods exit both ends). This non-magnet SKU cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; specify the -S variant if you need position sensing.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal force both ways: 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8".
No. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must specify the -S variant to enable sensing on the SUS304 stainless barrel.
