Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X225
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X225 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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 MFCD25X225
Twin rods exiting both covers give the AirTAC MFCD25X225 equal 206.1 N force in each direction at 0.5 MPa, while resisting twist during travel. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring quiet deceleration across the 225 mm stroke. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit of the same size and good washdown resistance.
Featuring a 25 mm bore, 10 mm rods, M10x1.25 male rod threads, and 1/8" ports, it delivers a theoretical maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 124 N, or a vertical lift of roughly 10.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if position detection is required.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X225 Is Used
Dual-Tool Transfer
Moves a 10 kg workpiece vertically over 225 mm using twin rods, keeping the load steady and twist-free during rapid 800 mm/s transfers.
Gripper Actuation
Drives opposing grippers from both covers with 206.1 N of equal force, ensuring synchronized clamping without rotational drift.
High-Speed Stopper
Uses the adjustable air cushion to absorb the shock of decelerating packages at the end of a long 225 mm stroke without slamming.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X225 the Right Cylinder?
When choosing between bores, the MFCD20 provides 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas this MFCD25X225 steps up to 206.1 N both ways, and an MFCD32 offers 345.6 N for heavier demands. The variable air cushion and twin rods are ideal for high-speed anti-rotation tasks or twin-tool setups where side-play must be minimized. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover code because rods exit both ends). Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end—it is not a brake; for position holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Also, this non-magnet version cannot support sensors.
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 MFCD25X225 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 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. It has 1/8" ports and M10x1.25 male rod threads.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet option for position sensing. The twin rods provide anti-rotation, and the variable air cushion decelerates the load, but it does not lock or hold position on air loss.
