Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X200S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X200S 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.

About the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X200S
Twin rods exit both covers of this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while actively resisting load rotation. The MFCD32X200S delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa each way, utilizing a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads. Its SUS304 stainless barrel shrinks mounting length compared to ISO 6432 designs and handles mild washdowns.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock for quiet operation across the 30-800 mm/s range. Because the -S code includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly on the body. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 207 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa force), which translates to lifting around 17.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X200S Is Used
Twin-Tool Pick & Place
Drives a dual-gripper transfer unit at high speed, using the second rod to prevent jaw rotation while shifting 15 kg electronics trays.
Divert Gate Actuation
Pushes a sorting flap rapidly across the 200 mm stroke; the variable air cushion quietly halts the mechanism without slamming.
Vertical Lift Stopper
Raises a physical stop pin to catch descending totes, relying on the equal both-ways 345.6 N force to hold the gate steady.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X200S the Right Cylinder?
When choosing between bores, the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa while the larger MFCD40 hits 527.8 N; this 32 mm bore sits comfortably in the middle at 345.6 N. Pick the double-rod layout when a high-speed twin-tool setup needs anti-rotation stability or a second end to mount a stopper. The adjustable air cushion decelerates the load near stroke end but does not lock it—if air pressure drops, the piston drifts, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion brackets (no SDB or back-cover code exists because rods protrude from both ends). This -S variant supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors via its built-in magnet; a non-S SKU cannot take a switch.
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 MFCD32X200S FAQ
It generates equal force in both directions: 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.
The twin rods resist rotation and allow mounting sensors or stoppers on the back side, while the needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not lock position on air loss.
