Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X60S is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 MFCD32X60S
Twin rods exiting both SUS304 stainless covers give the AirTAC MFCD32X60S equal 345.6 N force in each direction while actively resisting load rotation. This JIS-standard round-body mini uses a needle-set variable air cushion at each end to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, ensuring quiet 30-800 mm/s travel across its 60 mm stroke. A built-in magnet (-S) is included for position sensing.
With a 32 mm bore and 1/4" port, it delivers a theoretical maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing context, its safe working load is roughly 207 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin. The riveted aluminium construction is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of identical dimensions, saving valuable machine space.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X60S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives a 15 kg gripper assembly back and forth at high speed, using the second rod to keep the tools perfectly aligned while the air cushions absorb end shocks.
Component Flip Station
Flips delicate parts using equal push and pull forces of 345.6 N, ensuring smooth rotation without sudden jerks at the 60 mm stroke ends.
Synced Divert Gate
Operates a routing gate on a packaging line where the dual rods prevent binding under side loads, handling a safe working load of 207 N effortlessly.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD32X60S the Right Cylinder?
When choosing between bores, the MFCD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa while the larger MFCD40 hits 527.8 N; this 32 mm bore sits perfectly in the middle at 345.6 N both ways. Select the MFCD32X60S when your application needs twin-tool anti-rotation or high-speed cycling where the adjustable air cushions can dissipate kinetic energy. The cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake.
Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air pressure drops, you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load needs holding on power loss. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover code due to the dual rods). The included -S magnet allows direct fitting of 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 MFCD32X60S FAQ
It 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" port and a 12 mm rod on each end.
No, the variable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
