Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X10S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm 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 MFCD25X10S
Twin rods exiting both SUS304 stainless covers give this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder equal 206.1 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, while resisting torsional side-play. The riveted aluminium construction is purposefully shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same 25 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, saving valuable machine space without conforming to that standard. A 1/8" port feeds the chambers.
Needle-set variable air cushions at each end soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock for quiet 30-800 mm/s motion. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. For vertical lifting, expect a safe working load of roughly 124 N, handling about 10.5 kg each way with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X10S Is Used
Short-Stroke Transfer
Executes rapid 10 mm part transfers with equal 206.1 N push and pull force, while the twin rods prevent the gripper from twisting under offset loads.
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives dual marking or crimping tools at high speed, relying on the variable air cushions to deliver shock-free deceleration at both stroke ends.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Pivots a light diverter arm on a packaging line, using the second rod to maintain precise angular alignment and steady the mechanism during fast cycles.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X10S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the MFCD25 over the MFCD20 when you need more muscle: it outputs 206.1 N both ways at 0.5 MPa compared to 131.9 N for the smaller bore. If your application demands even more thrust, the MFCD32 offers 345.6 N. This double-rod layout is ideal for high-speed twin-tool setups requiring anti-rotation stability and smooth cushioned stops.
The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it will not lock or hold the load if air pressure drops. For vertical loads that must resist drifting on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB), and use the -S magnet for position sensing.
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 MFCD25X10S FAQ
Being a double-rod cylinder, it generates equal force in both directions: 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is 1/8".
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates motion near the stroke end; it does not brake or hold position on air loss. For vertical holding, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S suffix means it has a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
