Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X80
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 MFCD25X80
Twin rods and needle-set air cushions define the AirTAC MFCD25X80, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for balanced, high-speed motion. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact unit that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space while resisting mild washdown corrosion. Because a rod exits both covers, the working area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal thrust of 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa via its 1/8" port.
The dual-rod geometry inherently resists rotation and steadies the payload, allowing you to mount a second tool or stopper on the opposite end. For vertical lifting, the 206.1 N output handles about 10.5 kg each way with a 2:1 safety margin, or a safe working load of roughly 124 N. This base SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position switches; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Note that while the variable cushions absorb end-of-stroke shock, they do not lock the load—if air pressure drops, the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X80 Is Used
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts and lowers 10.5 kg payloads at 0.5 MPa with equal 206.1 N force both ways, using the twin rods to prevent load twisting during transit.
High-Speed Diverting
Pushes items across a belt at up to 800 mm/s, relying on the needle-set air cushions to silently absorb the end-of-stroke shock.
Twin-Tool Transfer
Mounts a stopper or secondary actuator on the opposing rod end while the 25 mm bore delivers stable 288.5 N thrust at 0.7 MPa for part positioning.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD25X80 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the MFCD25X80 when your application demands 206.1 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions alongside precise anti-rotation guidance. If your payload is lighter, the MFCD20 provides 131.9 N; for heavier dynamics, the MFCD32 steps up to 345.6 N. The 80 mm stroke hits a useful mid-range travel, and the adjustable air cushions at both ends allow you to tune deceleration for speeds up to 800 mm/s without end-cover banging.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets, with no SDB or back-cover code available due to the dual-rod design. Remember that this specific SKU is non-magnetic and cannot host sensors; if your control system requires position feedback, select the -S magnet variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Always plan an external pilot check valve if the load must be prevented from drifting on air loss.
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 MFCD25X80 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions because the piston area is identical on each side. It delivers 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 for this 25 mm bore is 1/8".
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The cylinder features a variable air cushion at both ends for deceleration, but this is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure is lost.
