Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X10
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" 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 MFCD32X10
Twin rods exit both covers on the AirTAC MFCD32X10, yielding equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting side-play and rotation. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, and because the body is shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke, it saves valuable mounting length. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock.
With a 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads, this unit is built for rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling. The cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a lock. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For a safe working load, expect about 207 N, or a 17.6 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X10 Is Used
Rapid Transfer Gates
Steers parts between conveyors at speed. The 345.6 N bidirectional force and twin rods prevent binding, while the air cushions soften the 10 mm end stops.
Twin-Tool Clamping
Holds a workpiece from two sides simultaneously. Equal force both ways ensures balanced clamping, and the compact JIS body fits tight machine cells.
Short Stroke Pressing
Snaps small components into place. The 10 mm stroke delivers a fast, cushioned impact, and the SUS304 barrel handles light washdown.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing the MFCD family, compare both directions: the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MFCD40 reaches 527.8 N. The MFCD32X10 sits comfortably in the middle at 345.6 N both ways, making it ideal when the smaller bore lacks thrust but the 40 mm is excessive. The twin rods steady the load for high-speed anti-rotation tasks, and the needle cushions protect shock-sensitive twin tools.
Mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets; there is no SDB option because a rod exits both covers. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load. Also, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position switches.
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 MFCD32X10 FAQ
It generates 345.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions, with a theoretical max of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore-fixed air port is 1/4".
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The twin rods and variable air cushions provide smooth, anti-rotation motion.
