The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X75 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 75mm 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 exiting both covers give this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder equal thrust in both directions, generating 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The SUS304 stainless barrel shrinks mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 unit of the same 25 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, while resisting mild washdown corrosion.
Needle-set variable air cushions at each end absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock for smooth 30-800 mm/s travel. The second rod steadies the load against rotation and provides a rear mounting point for stoppers or tooling. This non-magnet SKU cannot host position sensors; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Ports are 1/8" with M10x1.25 male rod threads.

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.
Drives two parallel grippers at 30-800 mm/s, using the equal 206.1 N bidirectional force to lift and place small parts without rotational drift.
Steadily flips a sorting flap back and forth across the 75 mm stroke, relying on the variable air cushions to soften impacts at rapid cycle rates.
Extends a stopper blade from the front rod while the rear rod mounts a secondary limit stop, keeping side-play minimal during heavy pallet halts.
Choose the MFCD25 over the MFCD20 (131.9 N at 0.5 MPa) when your load needs roughly 124 N of safe working force, or step up to the MFCD32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier tooling. The twin-rod layout is ideal for high-speed anti-rotation tasks where a single rod would twist under offset loads.
Remember the needle cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not function as a brake. If the load must hold position during air loss or valve centering, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion; there is no SDB bracket because a rod exits the rear cover.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal force both ways because the double-rod design uses rod-side area on both strokes: 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 air port is 1/8".
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you must select the -S variant for sensing. The variable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not lock the load.
