The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X300 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 300mm 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.
Delivering 206.1 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions, the AirTAC MFCD25X300 is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for long-stroke, high-speed stability. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact body that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space. A male M10x1.25 thread and 1/8 inch port equip the twin Ø10 mm rods.
Because a piston rod exits both covers, the moving load resists rotation while generating equal thrust on extension and retraction. Needle-set variable air cushions at each end absorb end-of-stroke shock across the full 300 mm travel at speeds up to 800 mm/s. This non-magnet SKU cannot host position sensors; adding an -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For vertical lifting, expect a safe payload of about 10.5 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

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.
Moves light fixtures across the full 300 mm span smoothly, using the twin rods to prevent yawing during rapid traversing.
Cycles a second tool mounted on the opposing rod end, maintaining equal 206.1 N thrust for precise part placement on a moving belt.
Secures delicate components from both sides simultaneously, relying on the needle cushions to soften impacts at 800 mm/s.
When sizing this series, compare the real thrust: the MFCD20 provides 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas this MFCD25 hits 206.1 N. If your application needs 345.6 N, step up to the MFCD32. Choose the MFCD25X300 when you need that mid-range force over a long 300 mm stroke with strict anti-rotation requirements and high-speed shock absorption.
The variable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not brake or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Mount using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (SDB is unavailable as a rod exits the back cover).
Quick checklist
It generates 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 inch.
No. The variable air cushions only decelerate motion near the stroke end and do not act as a brake; use an external rod lock for holding. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without the -S option.
