Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X10S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 25 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X10S
The AirTAC MD series multi-mount cylinder is a compact square-body actuator that can be fixed from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side with neighbouring cylinders to save space on the machine. Magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body, guide precision is high, and no added lubrication is required. This MD25X10S is double acting with a 25 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke: at 0.5 MPa it delivers a theoretical push thrust of 245.4 N, well suited to short-travel clamping and locating jobs. Cushioning is provided by a bumper, and the cylinder runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard multi-mount cylinder where rod rotation is permitted; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate where the rod must stay square. The trailing S on this SKU means a position-magnet is fitted, so switch feedback is available without any added bracket. Overall dimensions depend on the stroke, so confirm sizing from the datasheet - we are happy to provide it 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
Bore sets the thrust: at 25 mm this double acting cylinder gives 245.4 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa. Choose MD where rod rotation is allowed, or the MK family if the rod must not rotate. Acting choices across the series are double acting (MD), single-push (MSD), single-pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ). The 10 mm stroke sits comfortably inside the bore 25 table, which runs up to 60 mm, but keep the stroke short: an over-long stroke erodes the compact advantage, and side-load limits should be confirmed with us. The trailing S selects the magnet option, the port is M5x0.8 for this bore, and the thread is PT as standard with G available as an option.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Clamp small housings or brackets in an assembly or machining fixture. The 25 mm bore gives about 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa over a 10 mm travel, and the flat square body bolts directly into the fixture from the side, base or rear.
Conveyor gate stopper
Act as a short pop-up stopper or gate on a conveyor line to singulate small parts. The 10 mm stroke keeps the body flush with the frame, and several cylinders can be mounted side by side along the line.
Jig positioning
Position and hold workpieces in a drilling or welding jig. The body fixes from six directions so the cylinder sits exactly where the jig needs it, and the fitted magnet feeds a switch signal when the clamp is home.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MD25X10S mean?
The trailing S is the magnet option: this SKU is supplied with a position-magnet fitted, so magnetic switches can be seated in the slots around the body for end-of-stroke detection. The same cylinder without the S is supplied without a magnet.
How can I mount this cylinder, and where do I find its exact size?
The square body fixes from six directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom, and cylinders can be mounted side by side to save space. Overall dimensions vary with the stroke, so confirm the exact dimensions for MD25X10S from the datasheet, which we can provide on request.
