Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X10SH
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X10SH 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 MD25X10SH
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 to save space where conventional tie-rod cylinders will not fit. Magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body, guide precision is high, and no added lubrication is needed. This MD25X10SH is double acting with a 25 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke: at 0.5 MPa it produces a theoretical push thrust of 245.4 N, ideal for short-travel clamp, eject and locate jobs. Cushioning is by 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 allowed; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate for applications where the rod must stay square. The trailing S on this SKU means a position-magnet is fitted. One note: the final H in the code is not one of the standard PT/G thread codes for this series, so confirm the exact port thread with us or from the datasheet before ordering - we will confirm dimensions and sizing on request too.

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 determines thrust: at 25 mm this double acting cylinder gives 245.4 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, with the pull side lower. Choose MD where rod rotation is acceptable, or MK where it is not. Acting options across the series are double acting (MD), single-push (MSD), single-pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ). The 10 mm stroke is well within the bore 25 table, which runs up to 60 mm, but favour a short stroke to keep the compact advantage, and route side-load questions to us. The S selects the magnet, and the port is M5x0.8 for this bore. The thread on this SKU should be confirmed from the datasheet, as the trailing H is not a standard PT or G code; the series default is PT with G as an option.
Applications
Part ejection from a nest
Push finished small parts out of a fixture nest or off a locating pin. The 10 mm stroke is enough to clear the part, the bumper cushions the return, and the body mounts flush into the nest plate from four sides or the base.
Line stopper
Serve as a compact stopper on a conveyor or pallet line where panel space is tight. The square body fixes from six directions and multiple units sit side by side, with the fitted magnet signalling the part-stopped position.
Fixture clamping
Clamp workpieces on a production fixture with a short 10 mm clamping move. The 25 mm bore delivers about 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, and the flat body bolts straight onto the fixture edge without extra brackets.
FAQ
The SKU ends in SH - what does that decode to?
The S is the magnet option, so this cylinder is supplied with a position-magnet fitted. The trailing H is not one of the standard PT or G thread codes for this series, so confirm the exact port thread with us or from the datasheet before ordering. The port itself is M5x0.8 at this 25 mm bore.
Can I load this cylinder sideways, and how big is it?
Side-load capacity and overall dimensions depend on the stroke and installation, so confirm both from the datasheet rather than estimating - we can supply the datasheet on request. What is fixed is the mounting flexibility: the square body fixes from six directions and cylinders mount side by side to save space.
