Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X300
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.

About the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X300
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.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X300 Is Used
Long-Stroke Transfer
Moves light fixtures across the full 300 mm span smoothly, using the twin rods to prevent yawing during rapid traversing.
Dual-Tool Indexing
Cycles a second tool mounted on the opposing rod end, maintaining equal 206.1 N thrust for precise part placement on a moving belt.
Guided Clamping
Secures delicate components from both sides simultaneously, relying on the needle cushions to soften impacts at 800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X300 the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MFCD25X300 FAQ
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.
