Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X125S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X125S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm 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 MFCD32X125S
Built for high-speed anti-rotation tasks, the AirTAC MFCD32X125S uses twin rods exiting both covers to deliver equal force in both directions. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder outputs 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, featuring a SUS304 stainless barrel that resists mild washdown corrosion. Its riveted rolling-packed construction is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke shock, ensuring smooth deceleration across the 125 mm travel. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads handle robust flow, while the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For sizing, expect a safe working load around 207 N, which translates to lifting roughly 17.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X125S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Push and pull a 15 kg transfer carriage between stations with equal 345.6 N force, using the second rod to mount a stopper bracket.
Anti-Rotation Indexing
Drive a high-speed indexing head without side-play, letting the needle-set air cushions absorb the shock of 800 mm/s reversals.
Vertical Lowering Arm
Lower a 17 kg packaging flap smoothly, relying on the twin rods to prevent twisting while the cushions soften the end stop.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X125S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, compare the both-ways thrust against the MFCD25 at 206.1 N and the MFCD40 at 527.8 N, both rated at 0.5 MPa. The 32 mm bore hits a sweet spot for twin-tool setups needing moderate force and precise anti-rotation stability at high speeds.
Remember that the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston drifts, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB), and the -S magnet enables direct sensor mounting on the back rod.
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 MFCD32X125S FAQ
It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa equally in both directions, with a theoretical max of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore uses a 1/4" port with M10x1.25 male rod threads.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and never acts as a lock or brake; use an external rod lock for holding. The -S suffix includes a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
