The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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 MFCD25X25, 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 uses a SUS304 stainless 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, enabling smooth 30-800 mm/s operation even on short 25 mm strokes.
Driven by a 25 mm bore with 1/8" ports and M10x1.25 male rod threads, it generates 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa and a theoretical 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For vertical moves, expect a safe working load of about 124 N, which handles roughly 10.5 kg each way with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches without the -S option. The cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it will not hold position on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if needed.

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.
Push and pull a 10 kg workpiece between stations at speed; the second rod resists twist while the air cushion softens the 25 mm stroke impact.
Drive a synchronized clamping mechanism where equal 206.1 N force in both directions ensures consistent grip and release without rotational drift.
Rapidly deflect items on a line using the compact JIS body; the needle-set cushion absorbs the high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect the cargo.
When sizing this double-acting family, compare the real thrust: the MFCD20 provides 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MFCD32 offers 345.6 N. The 25 mm bore sits in the middle, making the MFCD25X25 ideal when you need roughly 206.1 N of bidirectional force in a compact footprint. Choose the double-rod, variable-cushion layout for high-speed anti-rotation tasks or twin-tool setups where shock absorption is critical.
Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensing; select an -S variant if you need position feedback. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover code exists since a rod exits both ends). Remember that the air cushion decelerates the piston but does not brake or hold the load vertically on air loss.
Quick checklist
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 25 mm bore uses 1/8" ports and M10x1.25 male rod threads.
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock or hold the load on air loss.
