Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 MFCD32X25
Twin rods exiting both SUS304 stainless covers define the AirTAC MFCD32X25, delivering equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting side-play. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a needle-set variable air cushion at each end to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring smooth deceleration across its 25 mm stroke. Because the second rod occupies the rear, there is no back cover, allowing you to mount a stopper or second tool on the opposite side.
With a 32 mm bore and 1/4" port, the riveted aluminium construction is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of identical dimensions, saving valuable machine space. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must specify the -S variant for position detection. For sizing, this bore yields a safe working load of about 207 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized marking tools from opposite rod ends, using the 345.6 N bidirectional force to stamp parts efficiently without rotational deflection.
High-Speed Diverting
Rapidly pushes packages across a belt at up to 800 mm/s, relying on the variable air cushion to softly stop the 25 mm stroke and prevent load damage.
Anti-Rotation Gripper
Actuates a clamping mechanism where the second rod steadies the load, handling roughly 17.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin during vertical part lifting.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25 the Right Cylinder?
When choosing between bores, the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFCD40 offers 527.8 N; the MFCD32X25 sits comfortably in the middle at 345.6 N, making it ideal for medium-duty anti-rotation tasks. The adjustable air cushion and twin-rod design shine in high-speed applications where shock absorption and load stability are critical.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for position holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets, but note that this non-magnet version cannot support sensing switches.
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 MFCD32X25 FAQ
The 32 mm bore double-rod design produces equal force both ways: 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" air port.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing. The twin rods provide anti-rotation, and the needle-set air cushion decelerates the load but does not lock it.
