Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X150S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X150S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 MFCD32X150S
Twin rods exit both covers of the AirTAC MFCD32X150S, delivering equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting side-play. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring smooth deceleration across the 150 mm travel. Built as a JIS-standard round-body mini, the SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers shrug off mild washdown environments.
Because a rod exits both ends, there is no back cover, allowing a second tool or stopper to mount opposite the primary load. This 32 mm bore runs on a 1/4 inch port and features a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For a safe working load, expect around 207 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating), translating to a vertical lift of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X150S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives upper and lower tooling simultaneously with 345.6 N, using the second rod for precise alignment during high-speed stamping.
Dual-End Diverting
Pushes a diverter from either side of a line; the needle cushion absorbs the shock of rapid 150 mm travel at each reversal.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a 17 kg gate safely with a 2:1 margin, relying on the twin rods to prevent twisting during the up and down cycle.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X150S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this series, compare the real thrusts: the MFCD25 yields 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, this MFCD32 hits 345.6 N, and the MFCD40 reaches 527.8 N. Choose the 32 mm bore when driving heavier twin-tool assemblies or high-speed indexing stations that need steady anti-rotation control. The adjustable cushion is ideal for 30-800 mm/s cycles, but remember it only decelerates the load—it does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position vertically. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, and use the -S magnet to fit your sensors.
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 MFCD32X150S FAQ
It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Force is equal in both directions. The bore uses a 1/4 inch port.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The cylinder drifts on air loss. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position feedback.
