The AirTAC Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 MFD32X150 equal output force in both directions while resisting rotation. This double-acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers to handle mild washdowns. Because the piston uses the rod-side area on each side, it delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa exactly the same each way.
For this 32 mm bore, the 1/4" air port feeds the chamber to move the Ø12 mm rods at 30-800 mm/s. The riveted body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke, saving space. Based on the 0.5 MPa figure, it handles a safe working load of about 207 N, or roughly 17.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.

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.
Drive a primary gripper on the front rod and a secondary pickoff on the back rod to cycle parts in and out simultaneously using the 345.6 N equal force.
The dual Ø12 mm rods steady the load and cut side-play, keeping a 150 mm stroke assembly carriage from twisting during rapid 30-800 mm/s shifts.
Use the rear rod as a mechanical stopper in damp environments; the SUS304 stainless barrel shrinks the envelope compared to ISO 6432 while resisting mild corrosion.
When sizing this series, compare the real 0.5 MPa figures: the MFD25 yields 206.1 N, this MFD32 provides 345.6 N, and the MFD40 hits 527.8 N. Choose the 32 mm bore when you need that mid-range thrust equally in both directions. The twin-rod architecture is ideal for anti-rotation slides or mounting a second tool on the back rod.
Remember that fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not lock the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. For mounting, use LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (there is no SDB or back-cover code here). Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal force in both directions because it uses the rod-side area on each end: 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 32 mm bore uses a 1/4" air port.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Additionally, fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
