Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X100S 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.

About the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X100S
Twin rods exit both covers on this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while steadying the load against rotation. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild washdown, and the riveted rolling-packed construction keeps the overall body shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock across the 30-800 mm/s range, ensuring quiet deceleration rather than a hard metal stop. Because the -S code includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly on the body. The unit uses a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads, offering a safe working load of about 207 N or a 17.6 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X100S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives a high-speed dual-head stamping fixture using its 345.6 N bidirectional force, with the needle cushion absorbing shock at each 100 mm stroke end.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Pushes a heavy conveyor sorting gate evenly in both directions, relying on the twin rods to prevent binding and keep the mechanism aligned.
Vertical Lift Stopper
Raises and lowers a 17.6 kg pallet stopper blade at speed, using the equal rod-side force to ensure consistent positioning up and down.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore against the range, the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa while the MFCD40 steps up to 527.8 N, making this model the middle ground for moderate anti-rotation tasks. Choose the double-rod layout with variable air cushion when driving high-speed twin tools or heavy sliders that need smooth end-of-stroke deceleration without side-play. You can mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover code since rods exit both ends). Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If you need to prevent drift on air loss or a centred valve, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 MFCD32X100S FAQ
It generates equal force both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/4" and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The variable air cushion only decelerates motion near the stroke end; it is not a brake, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
