Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X30S
The AirTAC Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X30S is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 MFD32X30S
Twin rods exiting both covers define this double-acting mini cylinder, yielding equal thrust in both directions while steadying the load against rotation. For the 32 mm bore, the SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a JIS-standard round body that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
At 0.5 MPa it generates 345.6 N of force each way, climbing to 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the -S suffix equips this unit with a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing. The fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the 1/4" air port matches the 32 mm bore specification. This configuration yields a safe working load of about 207 N, or roughly 17.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X30S Is Used
Anti-Rotation Transfer Slide
The twin 12 mm rods resist side-play and twist, keeping a 345.6 N payload steady as it traverses the short 30 mm stroke.
Twin-Tool Actuation
Mount a secondary gripper or stopper on the opposing rod end to execute synchronized operations with equal force both ways.
Back-Rod Position Flag
Use the extended rear rod to trip a CMSG or DMSG switch directly, leveraging the built-in magnet for compact confirmation.
Is the Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore against the family, note that the smaller MFD25 provides 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFD40 delivers 527.8 N. The MFD32X30S sits perfectly in the middle, offering 345.6 N both ways for medium-duty transfer tasks. Choose the double-rod layout when your mechanism requires anti-rotation stability, a twin-tool setup, or a back-rod switching flag.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, but note there is no SDB or back-cover code since a rod exits both ends. Remember that the bumper pads only decelerate the stroke; they do not lock the piston. If air pressure drops, the load will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding.
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 MFD32X30S FAQ
The 32 mm bore uses a 1/4" air port. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways using the rod-side area: 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, the piston will drift on air loss. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For vertical load holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
