The AirTAC Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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.
Twin rods exiting both covers give the AirTAC MFD32X15 equal pushing and pulling force, generating 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, resisting mild corrosion while saving mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke.
With a short 15 mm stroke, the non-magnetic SKU cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; add the -S variant for position detection. The 1/4" port feeds the chamber, and fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts. For a safe working load, expect about 207 N, which translates to lifting roughly 17.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

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 prevent twist during the brief 15 mm travel, guiding light clamping fixtures with 345.6 N of equal force.
Mount a secondary stopper or part pusher on the opposing rod end to perform two synchronized tasks in one stroke.
Push a part out and pull the mechanism back with identical 345.6 N thrust, ensuring stable ejection without rotational drift.
When sizing this double-acting unit, compare the real 0.5 MPa outputs: the MFD25 yields 206.1 N, this MFD32 provides 345.6 N, and the MFD40 reaches 527.8 N. Choose the 32 mm bore when your application needs roughly 207 N of safe working force both ways. The twin-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and supports a secondary tool or stopper on the back rod.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position switches. Note that fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not lock the piston. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB).
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways using the rod-side area. It generates 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The twin rods provide anti-rotation stability, and a rod exits both ends, so there is no back-cover or SDB mount.
