Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X175S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X175S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm 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 MFCD32X175S
Twin rods exiting both covers give the AirTAC MFCD32X175S equal 345.6 N force in both directions while actively resisting side-play and rotation. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring smooth deceleration across the 175 mm travel. The built-in -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise position detection.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this unit is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space. It operates at 30-800 mm/s on a 1/4 inch port, handling a safe working load of about 207 N or a 17.6 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the load; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold position on air loss.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X175S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized stamping pins from opposite rod ends, using the 345.6 N bidirectional thrust to form light sheet metal without rotational deflection.
High-Speed Divertor
Cycles at up to 800 mm/s to push packages across a belt, relying on the variable air cushion to absorb end-of-stroke impact and prevent product damage.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts an 18 kg access panel using both rods for anti-twist stability, while the built-in magnet triggers DMSG sensors at the raised and lowered positions.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X175S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing between the MFCD25 (206.1 N at 0.5 MPa), this 32 mm bore (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa), and the MFCD40 (527.8 N at 0.5 MPa) comes down to your payload and speed needs. The 32 mm bore is ideal when you need roughly 207 N of safe working force combined with high-velocity cycling that would damage a standard bumper cylinder. The adjustable air cushions at both ends tame that kinetic energy without compromising the equal bidirectional thrust.
Because the -S magnet is present, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without modifying the cylinder. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion styles; note there is no SDB mount since a rod exits the back cover. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so factor in a pilot-operated check valve for vertical loads.
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 MFCD32X175S FAQ
It generates 345.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions, with a theoretical maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The fluid port size is 1/4 inch, and the male rod thread is M10x1.25 on both ends.
The twin rods provide equal force both ways and resist load rotation, while the needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly at high speeds. Note that the cushion is not a brake; the cylinder requires an external rod lock to hold position on air loss.
