The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X100S 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.
Twin rods exit both covers of this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while actively resisting side-play. The MFCD25X100S uses a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, giving a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit of identical bore and stroke. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock for quiet, smooth operation across 30-800 mm/s.
With a 25 mm bore and 1/8" port, it generates 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa both ways, peaking at a theoretical 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to track position. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 124 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa force), or a 10.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Drives a 100 mm stroke pick-and-place with equal 206.1 N force both ways, keeping a dual-gripper assembly steady during high-speed transfers.
The dual M10x1.25 rods resist torsional twist on a vertical lift, maintaining precise alignment for a 10.5 kg payload without side-play.
Variable air cushions at both ends absorb the shock of rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling, smoothly diverting components along a washdown-resistant SUS304 barrel line.
Choose the MFCD25 over the MFCD20 (131.9 N at 0.5 MPa) when your application demands higher bidirectional force, but step up to an MFCD32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load exceeds 124 N safe working. The 100 mm stroke and double-rod design suit high-speed twin-tool or anti-rotation tasks where equal push and pull forces are critical. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover code exists since rods exit both ends).
The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. If the load must hold position on air loss or when a valve is centred, the piston will drift—install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Because this is an -S SKU, you can directly fit CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position feedback.
Quick checklist
It features a 1/8" port and delivers equal force both ways (rod-side area): 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 -S suffix provides a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not lock, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
