Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X300
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X300 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 300mm 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 MFCD32X300
Needle-set air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock, making the AirTAC MFCD32X300 a highly capable JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder for long-stroke, high-speed tasks. Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke unit features a double-acting, double-rod design that outputs equal force in both directions (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa). A second rod exits the rear cover to resist rotation and steady the payload, while the compact riveted body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke.
With a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads, it delivers a safe working load of about 207 N and a vertical lift capacity of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold a load vertically if air pressure drops.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X300 Is Used
Long-Stroke Transfer
Pushes heavy pallets 300 mm along a conveyor at speed; the twin rods prevent rack twist while the needle cushions absorb the 345.6 N end-of-stroke impact quietly.
Twin-Tool Actuation
Drives a dual-head pick-and-place gripper where equal force both ways keeps the return cycle fast and stable, handling a safe working load of roughly 207 N.
Vertical Lowering
Lowers a 17.6 kg fixture smoothly using the adjustable air cushion to prevent slamming, requiring an external pilot check valve to hold the load when air is cut.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X300 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing an MFCD, compare the real thrust figures: the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, this MFCD32 hits 345.6 N, and the MFCD40 delivers 527.8 N. Choose the 32 mm bore when your application needs that mid-range force to drive twin tools or heavy fixtures at speed without side-play. The twin rods provide excellent anti-rotation stability across the full 300 mm travel.
Because this model has no -S magnet, position sensing is impossible without switching to the -S variant. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover code due to the dual rods). Always factor in a pilot check valve or external rod lock if the load must stay put during a loss of air pressure.
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 MFCD32X300 FAQ
The 32 mm bore has a 1/4" port and generates 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.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be fitted. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a lock or brake; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold loads.
