Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125S 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 MFCD25X125S
Built for high-speed anti-rotation tasks, the AirTAC MFCD25X125S uses a twin-rod layout with a needle-set variable air cushion at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. As a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact unit that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same 25 mm bore and 125 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length while resisting mild washdown corrosion.
Because a rod exits both covers, thrust is equal both ways at 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This yields a safe working load of about 124 N, or roughly 10.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and the 1/8" port keeps airflow compact for the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives a dual pick-and-place head at 206.1 N both ways, using the rear rod for a stopper while the front rod cycles a 125 mm transfer stroke without rotation.
High-Speed Indexing
Shifts a light machining fixture back and forth with equal force, relying on the needle-set air cushions to decelerate the 10 mm twin rods smoothly at cycle limits.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises and lowers a 10 kg sorting flap with a 2:1 safety margin, maintaining stable vertical motion through the 125 mm travel via the guided double rod.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X125S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 25 mm bore over the MFCD20 (131.9 N at 0.5 MPa) when you need extra force, or step up to the MFCD32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. The double-rod design is ideal for twin-tool setups where the back rod can mount a sensor or stopper, and the variable air cushion prevents bounce at high speeds. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it is not a brake, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold position on air loss.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets (there is no SDB or back-cover code due to the dual rods). The -S suffix means a piston magnet is already built in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, so you can deploy electronic or reed sensors immediately.
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 MFCD25X125S FAQ
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 bore-fixed air port is 1/8", and the male rod thread is M10x1.25 on both ends.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake, so the piston drifts on air loss. Use an external rod lock for holding. The -S suffix provides a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
