About the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD25X25
The AirTAC MGCD25X25 is a double acting, double-rod JIS round-body mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends. Because a 10 mm rod exits both covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread, the piston works on the rod-side area in each direction, so output is equal both ways: about 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjustable cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of the short 25 mm stroke, letting you run higher speeds or carry heavier loads without hard metal-to-metal stops, while the rear rod end can drive a second load or carry a position flag.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint with a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and a hard-chrome plated rod for long seal and bearing life. A two-way lubricant-storing piston seal keeps friction low over millions of cycles. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s. As a practical sizing rule, keep the working load near 0.6 of the push force, so about 12 kgf horizontal or roughly 10 kg vertical for this bore. This model has no magnet fitted; order the S code to enable CMSG / DMSG / EMSG magnetic switches.

Where the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD25X25 Is Used
High-speed anti-rotation transfer
The through rod keeps the tool plate from twisting while the variable air cushions soften each end, so small parts can be shuttled at speed without bounce or misalignment.
Twin-load press with soft stop
With about 206 N available identically in both directions, the front rod can press a light fitting while the rear rod ejects or gauges, and the cushion gives a smooth, non-shocking stop.
Rear-switch slide
Use the second rod end to carry a flag or cam: add the S magnet and a CMSG or DMSG switch to signal end positions on a compact 25 mm stroke indexing slide.
Is the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD25X25 the Right Cylinder?
Size the MGCD25X25 when your load needs roughly 12 kgf or less of equal force in both directions; step up to MGCD32 for about 345 N or down to MGCD20 for about 132 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the MGCD over the MGD if you need adjustable cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, and over the MGC if you need a through rod with identical output each way. The double rod gives natural anti-rotation and a rear rod end for a stop, flag, or second load. Mount with LB foot or FA flange and pair with I or Y rod knuckles (SDB and CB are not offered). Add the S code if you plan to fit CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For strokes beyond the 300 mm standard maximum on this bore, or for heavy side loads, ask about nonstandard options and external guidance.

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 On first run, back off the cushion and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD25X25 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal in both directions: 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), withstands a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, operates from -20 to +70 C, and reaches speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The MGCD25X25 has an adjustable air cushion at both ends that decelerates the piston near each stop, unlike the MGD's fixed bumper pads. Unlike the single-rod MGC, the MGCD's through rod gives equal force both ways and a rear rod end for a second load or flag. Note the cushion only slows the stroke end; it is not a lock, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held on air loss. Add the S code to fit CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
