Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X250S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X250S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm 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 MFCD32X250S
Twin rods exit both covers on the AirTAC MFCD32X250S, yielding equal 345.6 N thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting side-play and rotation. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder pairs a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit of the same 32 mm bore and 250 mm stroke.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock across the 30-800 mm/s range. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads handle the 483.8 N output at 0.7 MPa, delivering a safe working load of roughly 207 N or about 17.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X250S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives a high-speed dual-head stamping station where the second rod mounts a synchronized cutter, relying on 345.6 N both-way force to press and trim in one cycle.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Pushes packages across a belt at speed using the twin rods to prevent twist, while the needle air cushions absorb the 250 mm stroke impact without shock.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts a 17 kg material gate with a 2:1 safety margin, using equal rod-side thrust for smooth up/down motion and CMSG sensors to confirm gate position.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X250S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing the MFCD family, compare both-way forces: this 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, sitting neatly between the MFCD25 at 206.1 N and the MFCD40 at 527.8 N. Choose the 32 mm variant when your high-speed twin-tool or anti-rotation payload exceeds the capacity of the smaller bore but does not warrant the bulk of the 40 mm version.
The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If the load must remain fixed during air loss or valve centering, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion brackets, and the built-in -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
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 MFCD32X250S FAQ
It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa equally in both directions, with a theoretical max of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore-fixed air port is 1/4".
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock or hold the load on air loss. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and the double-rod build prevents rotation.
