Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X50
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 MFCD25X50
Needle-set variable air cushions at both ends define this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, soaking up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The AirTAC MFCD25X50 uses a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers to deliver 206.1 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions via its twin 10 mm rods, resisting rotation and allowing a second tool or stopper on the back side.
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways and the body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 25 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. With a 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 male rod thread, it handles a safe working load of about 124 N or lifts roughly 10.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X50 Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Shuttles parts horizontally between stations using dual rods to keep the tooling steady under the 206.1 N force class, while the air cushions absorb the rapid 50 mm stroke reversals.
High-Speed Clamping
Clamps thin metal sheets in a press line where equal push and pull force prevents workpiece twisting, and the needle-set cushions quietly arrest the end-of-stroke impact.
Vertical Load Lowering
Lowers a 10 kg guided fixture smoothly using both rods to resist side-play, relying on the adjustable cushions to prevent a hard bottoming crash at high cycle rates.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the MFCD25 over the MFCD20 when you need more push and pull: the 25 mm bore delivers 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa versus 131.9 N for the 20 mm bore. If your application requires even more power, stepping up to an MFCD32 provides 345.6 N. The twin rods and adjustable air cushions on this 50 mm stroke model are ideal for high-speed anti-rotation tasks where shock-sensitive twin tools need smooth deceleration.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion brackets, with no SDB or back-cover code available due to the double-rod design. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end and does not function as a lock or brake; if you need to hold position on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position 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 MFCD25X50 FAQ
The 1/8 inch ported 25 mm bore generates equal force both ways because of the double-rod design: 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. The twin rods provide anti-rotation stability, and the variable air cushions decelerate the load but do not lock or hold position.
