Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X60S is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 MFD32X60S
Twin rods exiting both covers define the AirTAC MFD32X60S, yielding equal thrust in extend and retract while resisting rotational side-play. As a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, its riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers form a shorter envelope than an ISO 6432 unit for the same 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. The SUS304 construction also resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Delivering 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa equally in both directions, this double-acting build uses a 1/4 inch air port and M10x1.25 male rod threads. With a safe working load around 207 N, it handles about 17.6 kg vertically each way with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends.

Where the Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X60S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Clamp a part on the front rod while the back rod trips a limit flag, using the 345.6 N equal thrust to shuttle components without rotational twist.
Anti-Rotation Slide
Guide a light machining head steadily through the 60 mm stroke; the dual 12 mm rods resist side-play better than a single-rod mini cylinder.
Vertical Lift Stopper
Lift about 17.6 kg each way with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, using the rear rod extension to mount a physical stopper for precise descent control.
Is the Airtac MFD Double Rod Miniature Cylinder MFD32X60S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this series, compare the real 0.5 MPa figures: the MFD25 yields 206.1 N both ways, this MFD32 hits 345.6 N, and the MFD40 provides 527.8 N. Choose the 32 mm bore when you need that mid-range thrust for twin-tool actuation or anti-rotation slides. The dual rods steady the load and the back rod offers a ready mount for stoppers or a second tool.
For mounting, select LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (there is no SDB or back-cover code because a rod exits both ends). The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors. Remember that fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; the piston drifts on air loss, so install an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
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 MFD32X60S FAQ
It delivers equal thrust both ways: 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 inch.
The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. It does not hold load on air loss; the piston drifts, so use an external rod lock for suspended loads.
