Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X30
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X30 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 MFCD32X30
Twin rods exit both covers on this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, yielding equal 345.6 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa while steadying the load against rotation. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild washdown, and for the same 32 mm bore and 30 mm stroke this riveted body is shorter than an ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable machine length.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock for quiet motion, complementing the 30-800 mm/s speed range. This non-magnet SKU cannot host a sensor; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Air connects via a 1/4 inch port, and the twin M10x1.25 male rod threads allow mounting a second tool or stopper. Based on the 0.5 MPa rating, expect a safe working load of about 207 N, or a 17.6 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X30 Is Used
Twin-Tool Shuttle
Drives a high-speed pick-and-place head with a second tool on the back rod, using the 345.6 N force and air cushion to reverse direction smoothly without shock.
Anti-Rotation Press
Applies equal down and up force on a small stamping jig, relying on the twin rods to prevent twist and the needle cushion to soften the 30 mm stroke impact.
Compact Diverter
Fits into tight transfer lines where its shorter-than-ISO-6432 body saves length while pushing 207 N of safe working load to deflect parts.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing the 32 mm bore against its neighbours, the MFCD25 delivers 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa while the MFCD40 provides 527.8 N, making this 345.6 N model the sweet spot for medium-duty anti-rotation tasks. Choose the double-rod layout with variable air cushion when driving high-speed shuttles or twin-tool stations that need smooth deceleration and equal force both ways.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If gravity or air loss could cause the load to drift, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For position feedback you must select the -S magnet option, as this base SKU lacks sensing. Mounting uses LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, with no SDB or back-cover code available because rods exit both ends.
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 MFCD32X30 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal 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 inch.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host a switch. You must order the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The variable air cushion only decelerates the load; use an external rod lock if you need to hold position.
