Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 125mm 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 MFCD25X125
Twin rods and needle-set air cushions define the AirTAC MFCD25X125, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for balanced, high-speed motion. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact envelope that is shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable machine space while resisting mild washdown. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal thrust in both directions and steadying the load against rotation.
At 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore generates 206.1 N of force each way, rising to 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. For vertical moves, that 0.5 MPa rating yields a safe lift of about 10.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant if position detection is needed.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125 Is Used
Vertical Lift Stations
Lifts approximately 10.5 kg loads up and down at speed, using the twin rods to prevent load sag and the air cushions to soften landings.
Dual-Tool Transfer
Mounts a gripper on the front rod and a stopper on the back rod to execute fast pick-and-place cycles with equal 206.1 N thrust both ways.
Anti-Rotation Indexing
Drives a rotating pallet stop where the dual-rod geometry resists torsional twist during high-speed 125 mm strokes.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing between the two available bores comes down to thrust: the MFCD20 delivers 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while this MFCD25 provides 206.1 N both ways. If your application involves high-speed cycling with shock-sensitive tooling, the adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the second rod prevents twist. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel—it is not a brake. If the load must be prevented from drifting when air pressure drops, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB), and because this SKU has no magnet, you must select an -S version to use magnetic switches.
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 MFCD25X125 FAQ
It delivers 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 fluid port is 1/8".
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for position sensing. The twin rods and variable air cushions provide smooth, anti-rotation motion but do not lock the load.
