Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X25
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X25 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 MD25X25
The MD25X25 is a compact multi-mount cylinder: a square-bodied unit that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side so multiple cylinders fit into a minimum footprint. This double-acting MD version has a 25 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, giving a theoretical push force of 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa across a working range of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um. Cushioning at both ends of the stroke is by bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where rod rotation is not prevented. The code has no trailing S, so this SKU is supplied without a magnet; if you need switch detection, select the magnet version. The port thread is PT as coded, with an M5x0.8 port on this bore. We confirm dimensions and sizing details 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 bore for the thrust you need: this 25 mm double-acting bore produces 245.4 N on the push side at 0.5 MPa, below the 402.1 N of the 32 mm bore and above the 157.1 N of the 20 mm bore. Choose MD when controlled rotation of the rod is not critical, and the no-rotating MK family when the tool plate must stay oriented. Acting options include double acting, single-acting push (MSD), single-acting pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ).
The 25 mm stroke sits within this bore's double-acting table, which reaches 60 mm; shorter strokes preserve the compact-cover advantage, so do not overspecify travel. This SKU has no magnet and a PT thread, with G thread offered as the alternative. For side-load figures and stroke-specific dimensions, confirm with us from the datasheet.
Applications
Pick-and-place ejection
Fix MD25X25 cylinders vertically using the top or bottom mounting faces to eject or lower parts out of nests in a pick-and-place station, with the bumper softening end-of-stroke impact.
Fixture positioning pins
Line up several cylinders side by side on a machine base to raise and retract locating pins, using the six-direction fixings to mount each one exactly where the pin pattern falls.
Conveyor diverting pushers
Mount the cylinder alongside a conveyor with its side fixing faces to push parts onto a side lane, using the 25 mm stroke for shallow transfers in tight line layouts.
FAQ
Does the MD25X25 include a magnet, and how is it mounted?
No - the code has no trailing S, so this SKU is supplied without a magnet; pick the MD25X25S version if you need switch detection. Mounting is flexible: 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.
How much force does this cylinder give, and what stroke options exist?
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm double-acting bore gives a theoretical 245.4 N on the push side, with working pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Strokes for this bore run up to 60 mm in the double-acting table - keep the stroke short to retain the compact covers, and confirm exact dimensions and side-load limits from the datasheet.
