Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X450
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X450 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm 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 MFCD32X450
Twin rods exit both covers on the AirTAC MFCD32X450, yielding equal 345.6 N thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions while steadying the load against rotation. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, measuring shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same bore and stroke to save mounting length.
Needle-set variable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock across the 450 mm travel. This specific 450 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm standard maximum, making it a non-standard, made-to-order item. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread accommodate robust tooling, while the lack of an -S magnet means this SKU cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X450 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives a high-speed dual-head stamping station where the second rod maintains strict parallelism, absorbing end-stroke shock via the needle air cushion over the 450 mm travel.
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes heavy pallets along a conveyor using the 345.6 N bidirectional force, relying on the twin rods to prevent binding across the extended 450 mm length.
Vertical Lift Gate
Actuates a 17.6 kg safety gate up and down with equal force both ways, using the adjustable cushions to prevent slamming at the top and bottom extremes.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X450 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing the 32 mm bore, compare it directly against the MFCD25 at 206.1 N and the MFCD40 at 527.8 N, both at 0.5 MPa. The MFCD32X450 provides a computed safe working load of roughly 207 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 17.6 kg each way with a 2:1 safety margin. The double-rod architecture is ideal for high-speed twin-tool setups requiring strict anti-rotation control.
Because the 450 mm stroke is non-standard, expect a made-to-order lead time. Note that the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If the application requires position holding upon air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion, with no SDB option due to the dual-rod design.
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 MFCD32X450 FAQ
The MFCD32X450 delivers 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. It uses a 1/4" air port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread on each end.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke ends and does not act as a lock; use an external rod lock for holding. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without the -S option.
