Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X50S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X50S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 MFCD32X50S
Twin rods exit both covers of the AirTAC MFCD32X50S, delivering equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions while resisting side-play. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring smooth deceleration across the 50 mm travel. The built-in -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position detection.
This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers to survive mild washdowns. It is shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space. The 32 mm bore features a 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod threads. With a safe working load around 207 N, it handles about 17.6 kg vertically each way with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X50S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives a primary stamping tool on the front rod and a secondary pick-off on the back, using the 345.6 N force both ways to cycle parts quickly without rotation.
High-Speed Diverting
Pushes loads across a belt at high speed; the adjustable air cushion absorbs the end-of-stroke shock to prevent load damage and quiet the line.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts a light 17 kg gate vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the equal both-ways force and twin rods to keep the gate level during travel.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore over the MFCD25 (206.1 N at 0.5 MPa) when you need more push and pull without stepping up to the MFCD40 (527.8 N at 0.5 MPa). The double-rod build is ideal for high-speed anti-rotation tasks or mounting a second tool on the back rod. Foot (LB), flange (FA) and trunnion (TC) mounts fit this riveted body; there is no SDB option because a rod exits the back cover.
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 drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for safety. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for precise switching.
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 MFCD32X50S FAQ
The 32 mm double-rod design produces 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.
No. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The twin rods resist rotation, and the -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position feedback.
