About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD20X20H
The AirTAC MD20X20H is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side to save space. In double acting configuration with a 20 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, it offers a theoretical push thrust of 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, with the pull stroke lower, and bumper cushioning for smooth end-of-stroke stopping. Magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD standard multi-mount family. The H in the SKU indicates the optional high-temperature seal material, which extends the operating temperature range to 0-150 C instead of the standard -20 to 70 C. As the SKU shows, this cylinder is supplied without a magnet. We confirm dimensions, which vary with stroke, from the datasheet on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MD/MK multi-mount data. The front cover and piston are short, so avoid an over-long stroke. An optional high-temperature seal material extends the range to 0 to 150 C. Overall dimensions vary per stroke and allowable side-load is published as curves — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
Select the 20 mm bore when you need roughly 157.1 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa, and choose this H version when the ambient temperature runs from 0 up to 150 C thanks to the optional high-temperature seal material. This MD model is double acting with a 20 mm stroke, comfortably within the 60 mm maximum for this bore; the short-cover design cautions against an over-long stroke. If the rod must not rotate, move to the MK no-rotating family. No magnet on this SKU (S adds one) and PT thread is fitted, with G thread available. Side-load figures and exact dimensions - route those to us for confirmation from the datasheet.
Applications
Hot-zone part clamping
With high-temperature seals rated to 150 C, the cylinder clamps parts near warming processes, fixing through its side or bottom faces in tight machine layouts.
Fixture indexing near heat sources
The compact body mounts side by side with neighbours in a multi-cylinder fixture, advancing workpieces a short 20 mm between positions close to heated equipment.
Vertical eject or press station
Bolted from above through its top face, the cylinder pushes finished parts out of a nest, with bumper cushioning softening the end of each 20 mm downstroke.
FAQ
What does the H in MD20X20H mean?
The H indicates the optional high-temperature seal material, which raises the operating temperature range to 0-150 C compared with the standard -20 to 70 C. Cylinder function and pressure range (0.15-1.0 MPa, 22-145 psi) are unchanged.
How short is the stroke on this model, and can it be longer?
This SKU has a 20 mm stroke. Bore 20 double acting cylinders are available up to 60 mm, but the short-cover design cautions against specifying an over-long stroke for the body; confirm the stroke table and dimensions from the datasheet.
