Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X225S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X225S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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 MFCD32X225S
Twin rods exit both covers of the AirTAC MFCD32X225S, delivering equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting rotation. As a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a shorter overall length than an ISO 6432 unit of the same 32 mm bore and 225 mm stroke. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock.
The 1/4" air port feeds the 12 mm rods (M10x1.25 male thread) for speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Based on the 345.6 N figure, 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 MFCD32X225S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized punches with 345.6 N force each way, using the second rod to mount a stopper and prevent twist during high-speed contact.
Dual-End Transfer
Pushes a 15 kg cart rightward then retracts leftward at equal speed, relying on the needle cushion to soften reversals at 800 mm/s.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts an 18 kg flap with a 2:1 safety margin, guided by the twin rods so the gate cannot skew in its tracks.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X225S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore over the smaller MFCD25 (206.1 N @0.5 MPa) when your load exceeds 20 kg, or step up to the MFCD40 (527.8 N @0.5 MPa) for heavier tooling. The double-rod layout suits high-speed twin-tool stations needing anti-rotation stability, while the adjustable cushion prevents end-stroke banging. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB). Note that the cushion only decelerates; fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load on air loss.
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 MFCD32X225S 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 via the double rod. The bore-fixed air port is 1/4".
A variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end, reducing shock at high speeds. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; it is not a lock and will drift on air loss.
