Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25S 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 MFCD32X25S
Twin rods exiting both SUS304 stainless covers give the AirTAC MFCD32X25S equal 345.6 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, while resisting twist during fast moves. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke shock across the 30-800 mm/s speed range. This JIS-standard round-body mini is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, saving valuable machine length.
The 1/4" port feeds the 12 mm rods with M10x1.25 male threads, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. With a safe working load of about 207 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), it handles vertical lifts near 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin. The cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold position on air loss.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives a 25 mm stamping stroke with equal 345.6 N force both ways, using the second rod to mount a synchronized lower tool while the air cushion absorbs high-speed impact.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Pushes packages at up to 800 mm/s with the double-rod build preventing side-play, while the needle cushion quietly stops the 32 mm piston at stroke end.
Vertical Lift Stopper
Lifts roughly 17.6 kg loads vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the twin rods to keep the load steady and the cushion to soften the 25 mm end stop.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X25S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when a 25 mm stroke delivers 345.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the MFCD25 for 206.1 N, or up to the MFCD40 for 527.8 N if your load needs more push. The twin rods steady the tool and prevent rotation, making it ideal for high-speed pick-and-place where shock must be absorbed by the adjustable air cushion.
Mounting uses LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (no SDB or back-cover code since rods exit both ends). The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Remember the air cushion decelerates but does not lock the piston, so use a pilot check valve for load holding.
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 MFCD32X25S FAQ
It delivers equal force both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and 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; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position. The -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for sensing.
