Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X100S is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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 MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X100S
Delivering 345.6 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, the AirTAC MFD32X100S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for balanced actuation. Its double-rod construction means a piston rod exits both covers, yielding equal push and pull forces across the 100 mm stroke while the twin rods actively resist rotation. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers offer reliable resistance to mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Because the rod exits both ends, this model omits a back cover and uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable cushion. The built-in -S piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing, and the 1/4" air port handles the required flow. For a secure vertical lift, expect a safe working load of about 207 N, which handles roughly 17.6 kg each way with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X100S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drive two grippers at once using both rod ends to push and pull a 345.6 N load across a 100 mm transfer station without rotational play.
Rear-Rod Flag Sensing
Mount a physical target or CMSG sensor flag on the extending back rod to track position independently of the primary 32 mm bore tooling.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Raise and lower a 17 kg machining fixture with equal force both ways, relying on the dual 12 mm rods to prevent twisting during vertical travel.
Is the Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, compare the real thrust figures: the MFD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFD40 hits 527.8 N. The 32 mm bore here outputs 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, making it the ideal middle ground for moderate loads. Choose a double-rod build when your application demands anti-rotation stability or requires mounting a second tool and a sensor flag on the rear rod.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load. For mounting, select LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB is unavailable). The -S magnet is already included, so you can directly fit your CMSG or DMSG reed 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 MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X100S FAQ
It delivers equal force in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore-fixed air port is 1/4".
The twin rods provide equal force both ways and resist side-play and rotation. It does not hold load on air loss and will drift, so use an external rod lock for holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
