Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X25S
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X25S 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 MD25X25S
The MD25X25S is a genuine AirTAC MD multi-mount cylinder with a compact square body you can fix from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so several units can sit side by side to save space. This double acting model has a 25 mm bore and a 25 mm stroke, delivering a theoretical push thrust of 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, which suits short-travel clamping and positioning on tight machine layouts. Cushioning is provided by a bumper for a simple stop at end of stroke. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), from -20 to 70 C (up to 150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material), at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard multi-mount cylinder; if you need the piston rod prevented from rotating, choose the MK family instead. The trailing S in MD25X25S means this SKU includes the magnet for magnetic-switch detection. Port thread on this bore is M5x0.8 with PT thread as standard. We confirm exact 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
Pick the bore for the thrust you need: at 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore pushes with a theoretical 245.4 N (206.2 N on the pull side). Choose MD if rod rotation can be tolerated, or MK if the rod must not rotate. Acting type options include double acting, single acting push (MSD) or pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ, adding a 10/20/30 mm adjustable range). Stroke options run to 60 mm on the 25 mm bore in double acting, but the short covers favor compact strokes - avoid an over-long stroke for this body. The trailing S adds the magnet; leave it off if you do not need switch detection. Thread is PT as standard or G on request. For side-load capability, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa and short 25 mm stroke make this cylinder a fit for holding small components in place during a pressing or assembly step, with the body fixed from whichever of the 6 directions suits the fixture.
Jig positioning
Mount several MD25X25S units side by side along a drill or assembly jig to actuate locator pins and stops in a compact pitch, keeping the fixture footprint small.
Gate and stopper actuation
Use the 25 mm stroke to raise or lower a small gate or stopper on a conveyor line, with magnetic-switch slots around the body confirming end positions.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MD25X25S mean?
The trailing S indicates this SKU is supplied with a magnet in the piston, so the cylinder can be detected by magnetic switches fitted in the slots around the body. Without the S, the cylinder is supplied without a magnet; magnet detection is optional, not standard on every unit.
Can I use this cylinder where the rod sees side load?
The MD25X25S is a compact multi-mount cylinder with a bumper cushion, best used for straight push and pull duties within its rated pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa. Allowable side load is not a published figure here - confirm it from the datasheet or contact us before applying lateral loads.
