Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X350S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X350S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm 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 MFCD32X350S
Built for twin-tool anti-rotation tasks, this double-acting cylinder outputs 345.6 N of equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The 32 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and features a 12 mm rod exiting each cover. Because the piston sees identical rod-side area on both sides, push and pull forces match perfectly. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock for quiet 30-800 mm/s operation.
The SUS304 stainless steel barrel shrinks mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke, while resisting mild washdown corrosion. This specific 350 mm unit is a non-standard, made-to-order variant exceeding the 300 mm max standard stroke. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. For sizing, expect a safe working load around 207 N, or a vertical lift of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X350S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Push and pull parts across a 350 mm gap with equal 345.6 N force, using the second rod to mount a synchronized gripper that resists rotation.
High-Speed Lowering
Deposits delicate components at speed, relying on the needle-set air cushion to brake the 17.6 kg safe vertical load smoothly without slamming.
Dual-End Sorting
Diverts items from either side of a line; the double-rod construction keeps the stroke perfectly straight over the long 350 mm travel.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X350S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting between the four bores means balancing thrust and space. 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 when the 25 mm lacks push force but the 40 mm is too bulky. The double-rod design is essential when you need high-speed anti-rotation stability or a second mounting surface for sensors and stoppers.
Remember that the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. For vertical or suspended loads that must hold position on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (no SDB). The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
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 MFCD32X350S FAQ
It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Force is equal in both directions because it is a double-rod cylinder. The air port is 1/4".
It has a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed motion, but this is not a brake or lock. The -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The 350 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order.
