Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 MFCD32X15
Needle-set variable air cushions at both ends define the AirTAC MFCD32X15, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for smooth, high-speed actuation. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers house a double-acting, double-rod mechanism, meaning a rod exits both covers to deliver equal force both ways. You get 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa through its 1/4" port, making it highly effective for anti-rotation tasks.
Because the twin rods exit both covers, the load stays steady and side-play is minimized, while the back rod can mount a stopper or second tool. This riveted construction is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, saving valuable machine space. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 207 N, or a vertical lift of about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Uses the dual rods to keep a 17.6 kg vertical press tool perfectly aligned, absorbing the 15 mm impact via adjustable air cushions.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Steadies a high-speed sorting flap with equal 345.6 N force in both directions, preventing twist during rapid goods diversion.
Compact Stopper Gate
Fits into tight packing cells where its shorter-than-ISO-6432 body saves space while cushioning the 15 mm stroke stop.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15 the Right Cylinder?
When choosing between bores, the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MFCD40 steps up to 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; this MFCD32X15 sits perfectly in the middle at 345.6 N. Select it when a twin-tool setup requires anti-rotation stability and the needle-set air cushion is needed to soak up end-of-stroke shock at high speeds. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB), and because there is no -S magnet on this unit, you cannot fit CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a brake. If the load must be held on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot 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 MFCD32X15 FAQ
It delivers equal force both ways (rod-side area) because it is a double-rod cylinder: 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".
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The variable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the load, they do not lock or hold position.
