The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X10S 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.
Twin rods exiting both covers give this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder equal force in both directions, delivering 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The AirTAC MFCD32X10S uses a needle-set variable air cushion at each end to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring smooth deceleration across its 10 mm stroke. A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.
The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this compact body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It features a 1/4 inch air port and M10x1.25 male rod threads. Based on the 0.5 MPa rating, the safe working load is about 207 N, which handles roughly 17.6 kg of vertical lift each way with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Uses the 345.6 N bidirectional force and twin rods to grip parts securely without rotation across the 10 mm travel.
Variable air cushions absorb the shock of rapid 10 mm diverting motions while the second rod mounts a stopper or sensor.
Fits into tight machinery spaces thanks to a body shorter than ISO 6432, ejecting light products with equal push and pull force.
When sizing both ways, compare this 32 mm bore offering 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa against the MFCD25 at 206.1 N or the larger MFCD40 at 527.8 N. The 10 mm stroke suits very short clamping or ejecting tasks where the twin rods prevent side-play and rotation. Choose LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion mounts, noting there is no SDB option because a rod exits both ends. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not act as a brake. For position holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
Force is equal both ways due to the double-rod design: 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 bore-fixed air port is 1/4 inch.
The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a lock, so the load drifts on air loss. Use an external rod lock for holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
