The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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.
Twin rods exiting both SUS304 stainless covers give the AirTAC MFCD32X100 equal thrust in both directions while actively resisting side-play. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring smooth deceleration across the 100mm travel. This JIS-standard round-body mini is also shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space.
Delivering 345.6N at 0.5MPa and 483.8N at 0.7MPa through its 1/4in port, the 32mm bore handles robust loads. The twin-rod geometry yields a safe working load of roughly 207N, or about 17.6kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; specify the -S variant if position detection is required.

|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
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 matched tools from both rods with 345.6N at 0.5MPa, ensuring parallel contact and absorbing shock with variable air cushions.
Steadies a deflecting gate at high speed without side-play, using the 100mm stroke and twin-rod stability to handle 207N loads.
Lifts roughly 17.6kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on equal both-ways force and smooth cushioned stops.
When sizing between bores, compare this 32mm option (345.6N at 0.5MPa) against the MFCD25 (206.1N) for lighter duties or the MFCD40 (527.8N) for heavier payloads. The adjustable cushion and double-rod build excel in high-speed anti-rotation tasks or twin-tool setups where equal force both ways is critical. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB available since a rod exits both ends). Remember the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock; for load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal force in both directions: 345.6N at 0.5MPa, 483.8N at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical max of 70.5kgf at 1.0MPa. The air port is 1/4in.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for position sensing.
