The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X200 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm 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.
Twin rods exit both covers on the AirTAC MFCD32X200, yielding equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while steadying the load against rotation. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, giving you a shorter overall mounting length than a comparable ISO 6432 unit while resisting mild washdown corrosion.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock across the 200 mm travel, keeping operations quiet. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; the twin 12 mm rods use an M10x1.25 male thread and a 1/4" port.

| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Lifts roughly 17.6 kg loads through 200 mm of travel, using the equal both-ways 345.6 N force to raise and lower smoothly without dropping payload on the return stroke.
Mounts a second gripper on the opposing rod for synchronized part handoff, leaning on the twin 12 mm rods to resist torsional twist during rapid 30-800 mm/s indexing.
Pushes lightweight cartons across a belt where the needle-set air cushions absorb the end-of-stroke shock, preventing bounce at rapid cycle rates.
When sizing between the four bores, the 32 mm version sits neatly in the middle: it delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, jumping to 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, which is a notable step up from the 206.1 N of the MFCD25 yet lighter than the 527.8 N MFCD40. For vertical lifting, expect a safe working load of about 207 N (roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin) each way.
Choose this double-rod, variable-cushion build for high-speed transfer or twin-tool tasks needing anti-rotation stability. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end—it is not a brake; if you need to hold a load on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB), and this non-magnet SKU cannot host a sensor.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways using the rod-side area. It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads.
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 cylinder features a variable air cushion at both ends for deceleration, but this is not a lock; use an external rod lock if you must hold position on air loss.
