The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X15S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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 on the AirTAC MFCD25X15S, yielding equal 206.1 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa while steadying the load against rotation. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering a shorter mounting envelope than a comparable ISO 6432 unit. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
At this 25 mm bore, the 1/8" port feeds a 10 mm rod (M10x1.25 thread) on each side. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. For sizing, expect a safe working load around 124 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), or roughly 10.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not function as a brake, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold position on air loss.

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.
Handles about 10.5 kg each way with a 2:1 margin, using the second rod to mount a synchronized stopper for rapid 15 mm part shifting without rotation.
Cycles at up to 800 mm/s where the needle-set air cushion absorbs shock, while the 206.1 N bidirectional force drives a compact, precise press head.
Fits into tight JIS-standard machinery envelopes shorter than ISO 6432 alternatives, ejecting delicate components symmetrically using both rods.
Choose the MFCD25X15S when you need 206.1 N of force both ways at 0.5 MPa and a very short 15 mm stroke for quick, anti-rotation moves. If your application is lighter, the MFCD20 delivers 131.9 N; for heavier loads, the MFCD32 provides 345.6 N. This double-rod design is ideal for high-speed twin-tool setups where the variable air cushion prevents end-stroke slamming.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover code exists because rods exit both ends). The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Remember that the air cushion decelerates the piston but does not lock it; you must fit a pilot check valve or external rod lock to hold a load vertically during a pressure drop.
Quick checklist
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 air port size is 1/8".
It features a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed motion, while the twin rods resist side-play and rotation. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; a SKU without S cannot take a sensor.
