The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X300S 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.
Twin rods exit both covers on the AirTAC MFCD32X300S, yielding equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting torsional side-play. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring quiet deceleration across the full 300 mm travel at 30-800 mm/s.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this unit is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It uses a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For vertical lifting, expect a safe payload of about 17.6 kg each way with a 2:1 margin.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 300 mm travel and twin rods to push a measuring carriage against parts without rotational deflection.
Cycles a dual-side tooling plate at high speed, relying on the 345.6 N bidirectional force and needle cushions for smooth stops.
Raises and lowers a 17.6 kg fixture with a 2:1 safety margin, guided by the second rod to prevent twisting.
When sizing between bores, compare the 345.6 N @0.5 MPa output of this 32 mm bore against the MFCD25 at 206.1 N or the larger MFCD40 at 527.8 N. The 300 mm maximum standard stroke extracts full travel while the adjustable air cushions absorb kinetic energy at high speeds. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover code exists because rods protrude both ends).
The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Remember the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it does not brake or hold position. If air pressure drops, the piston drifts, so install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
Quick checklist
Force is equal both ways due to the double-rod design: 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 is 32 mm with a 1/4" air port and M10x1.25 male rod threads.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed motion, not a fixed bumper. The -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
