Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X60S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 MFCD25X60S
Twin rods exit both covers of the AirTAC MFCD25X60S, delivering equal 206.1 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting side-play and rotation. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder runs a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, and because it lacks a back cover, it mounts shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock across the 30-800 mm/s speed range. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. With a 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads, it yields a safe working load of roughly 124 N, or about a 10.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X60S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Shuttles parts horizontally between stations using dual end tools, relying on the equal both-ways 206.1 N force and anti-rotation rods for stable high-speed transfer.
Cushioned Descender
Lowers 10 kg fixtures smoothly with a 2:1 safety margin, using the needle-set air cushion to absorb the shock at the bottom of the 60 mm stroke.
Magnet-Sensed Gripper
Actuates an opposing gripper carriage where the -S magnet confirms both open and closed positions via CMSG or DMSG switches at each end.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X60S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the MFCD25 over the MFCD20 (131.9 N at 0.5 MPa) when you need extra thrust without stepping up to the MFCD32 (345.6 N). The twin-rod geometry plus adjustable air cushion is ideal for high-speed strokes carrying twin tools that demand smooth deceleration and zero rotation. Foot (LB), flange (FA) and trunnion (TC) mounts fit this riveted body; there is no SDB mount because a rod exits both ends.
The cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and does not brake or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. This -S SKU supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors; a non-S SKU cannot take a switch.
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 MFCD25X60S FAQ
It generates 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, this force is identical in both directions.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed motion without shock. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, and the twin rods prevent rotation during travel.
