The AirTAC Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X125S is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm 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.
Delivering 345.6 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, the AirTAC MFD32X125S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for equal push and pull forces. A piston rod exits both aluminium covers, meaning the output relies on the rod-side area on each side. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this riveted construction is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
The twin rods steady the load and resist rotation far better than a single-rod build, while the rear rod offers a ready mount for stoppers or a second tool. Equipped with a piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. It uses a 1/4 inch air port and fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke ends. For a safe working load, expect about 207 N, or a vertical lift of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Twin rods steady the load and cut side-play, guiding 207 N of safe working force smoothly across a 125 mm stroke without twisting.
Mount a secondary stopper or tool on the rear rod to perform two operations in sequence using the equal 345.6 N bidirectional thrust.
The built-in magnet allows CMSG or DMSG switches to confirm mid-stroke positions on automated packaging lines operating at up to 800 mm/s.
When sizing this double-acting family, compare the real 0.5 MPa figures: the MFD25 yields 206.1 N, this MFD32 provides 345.6 N, and the larger MFD40 delivers 527.8 N. Choose the 32 mm bore when your application demands roughly 207 N of safe working force in both directions without stepping up to the heavier 40 mm body. The twin rods are essential when you need anti-rotation stability or want to mount a second tool on the back rod.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, this SKU is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion; there is no SDB mount or back-cover code because a rod exits both ends. Note that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end, so the piston will drift on air loss. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both ends. It provides 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. The air port size is 1/4 inch.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide a steadier guide for the load. The rear rod also allows mounting a second tool or stopper. This -S model includes a magnet for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
