Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X40S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X40S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 MFCD32X40S
Twin rods exit both covers of the AirTAC MFCD32X40S, delivering equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting side-play. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, offering a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke.
A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock for quiet operation. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and the 1/4" port feeds the 12 mm rods. With a safe working load around 207 N, it lifts about 17.6 kg vertically each way with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X40S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two matched stamping pins at 345.6 N each way, using the twin rods to keep the tooling perfectly aligned during rapid 40 mm hits.
Dual-End Diverter
Mounts a flap on one rod and a sensor stop on the other to divert small packages on a belt without rotational twist.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a 17 kg access gate smoothly using the equal both-ways force, with the needle cushions softening the 40 mm stops at high speed.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X40S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing across the range, the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa while the MFCD40 reaches 527.8 N; this MFCD32X40S sits in the middle at 345.6 N, making it ideal for medium-duty twin-tool tasks. Choose it when high-speed cycling demands adjustable air cushions and anti-rotation stability.
The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, and you can mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion. Because 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.
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 MFCD32X40S FAQ
It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Force is equal in both directions via the 12 mm double rods, and the air port is 1/4".
No, the variable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends to absorb shock; they do not lock or hold the load. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position detection.
