Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD40X60
The AirTAC Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD40X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm 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 MFCD40X60
Delivering 527.8 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFCD40X60 is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed symmetry. Its twin Ø16 mm rods exit both aluminium covers, yielding equal push and pull force while actively resisting side-play and load rotation. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, ensuring quiet deceleration across the 30-800 mm/s speed range without acting as a physical lock.
The SUS304 stainless steel barrel shrinks the mounting envelope compared to an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke, while resisting mild washdown corrosion. This non-magnet SKU uses a 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod threads; it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, so you must specify the -S variant if position sensing is required. With a 0.5 MPa input, expect a safe working load of roughly 317 N, or about 26.9 kg of vertical lift per direction with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD40X60 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives a matched pair of forming tools with 527.8 N of equal force both ways, using the twin rods to prevent yaw during rapid 60 mm strokes.
Synced Transfer Arm
Shifts components between parallel belts at high speed; the needle air cushions absorb the shock of sudden direction changes without needing a separate bumper.
Vertical Lift Stopper
Raises and lowers a 26.9 kg pallet stop gate with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the second rod to keep the load steady and square under gravity.
Is the Airtac MFCD Double Rod Cushioned Mini Cylinder MFCD40X60 the Right Cylinder?
When choosing between this 40 mm bore and the smaller MFCD32, compare the actual thrust: the MFCD40X60 provides 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa versus 345.6 N for the 32 mm bore, both equal in extension and retraction. Pick the 40 mm if your twin-tool or high-speed transfer payload exceeds the limits of the smaller bore, and rely on the adjustable air cushions to prevent harsh impacts at cycle completion.
Because a rod exits both covers, there is no back-cover code or SDB mount available—use LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets instead. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the load; it will not hold position on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if drifting poses a hazard. Also, this exact SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept sensors, so select an -S version if your control system requires end-of-stroke detection.
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 MFCD40X60 FAQ
It generates 527.8 N of equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa, 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 107.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore-fixed air port is 1/4".
No. The variable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends—they do not lock or hold the load on air loss. Also, this specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing.
