Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD20X35S
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD20X35S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 20 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 157.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD20X35S
The MD20X35S is a 20 mm bore, 35 mm stroke double acting multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body air cylinder that fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side to save space. At 0.5 MPa the bore delivers about 157.1 N of push-side thrust for light clamping, positioning and stopper work, with a 35 mm stroke for short, repeatable moves. The trailing S means this SKU includes a magnet for magnetic-switch detection in the slots around the body. Cushioning is provided by a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD family, so piston rotation is not restricted - for rotation control see the MK no-rotating family. The medium is air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), operating temperature is -20 to 70 C, and the thread is PT on an M5x0.8 port. We confirm overall dimensions and sizing 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
Size the bore first: at 0.5 MPa a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push-side thrust (131.9 N pull-side), so check your load against those figures. Choose MD if the rod may rotate; choose MK if the rod must not. This MD20X35S is double acting with a 35 mm stroke - 20 mm bores run up to 60 mm, but keep the stroke clear of the covers where possible. The S suffix means the magnet is included; the non-S version of this model is sold without one. Thread is PT by default with G available. Side-load limits and exact dimensions come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Line up magnet-equipped MD20X35S cylinders on a fixture to clamp small parts and switch each clamp position from the magnetic-switch slots around the body.
Jig positioning
Fix from any of the 6 body faces to add a 35 mm stroke positioning cylinder to a crowded jig, with the magnet confirming rod position at each move.
Pick-and-place handling
Mount side by side on a compact gantry head to grip and release lightweight parts, using the built-in magnet for end-of-stroke detection in tight tooling.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MD20X35S mean?
The trailing S means this cylinder is supplied WITH a magnet, so it can be detected by magnetic switches in the body slots. The same model without the S (MD20X35) has no magnet.
How does this cylinder mount in a tight fixture?
The square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can be mounted side by side to save space. Exact body dimensions and allowable side-load for the 35 mm stroke come from the datasheet; ask us and we will confirm.
