Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15S 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 MFCD32X15S
Twin rods exiting both covers give the AirTAC MFCD32X15S equal 345.6 N force in both directions, while a needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. Built as a JIS-standard round-body mini with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it resists mild corrosion and washdown. For the same 32 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, this riveted body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length without conforming to that standard.
This 32 mm bore variant uses a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads on its 12 mm rods. With the -S option, a built-in piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing. The twin rods steady the load and cut side-play, and the back rod can mount sensors, stoppers or a second tool. Based on the 0.5 MPa rating, expect a safe working load of about 207 N, or a vertical lift of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Moves small parts between two stations with equal 345.6 N force both ways, using the second rod for a stopper while the variable cushion absorbs 15 mm stroke shocks.
High-Speed Gripper Actuator
Drives a synchronized gripping jaw at speed, relying on the twin 12 mm rods to resist torsion and the needle cushion to soften end impacts.
Washdown Divertor
Switches light conveyor lanes in damp packing zones where the SUS304 barrel resists mild corrosion and the short JIS body fits tight frames.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting family, compare both ways: the MFCD25 delivers 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFCD40 provides 527.8 N. This MFCD32 sits in the middle at 345.6 N, making it ideal when the 25 mm bore lacks thrust but the 40 mm is physically too large. Choose the cushioned double-rod build for high-speed anti-rotation tasks or shock-sensitive twin-tool setups.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover code because a rod exits both ends). Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end—it is not a lock or brake. If the load must hold position on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet on this SKU supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG 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 MFCD32X15S FAQ
It delivers equal force both ways (rod-side area): 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 32 mm bore uses a 1/4" port with M10x1.25 male rod threads.
The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a lock or brake, so the piston drifts on air loss. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
