Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X35
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X35 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 MD25X35
The MD25X35 is a genuine AirTAC MD-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body, double-acting cylinder that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and can be installed side by side to save space. The 25 mm bore produces 245.4 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa (206.2 N pulling), which suits pushing, clamping and ejecting small parts, and the 35 mm stroke gives extra travel within a short body. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at -20 to 70 C (up to 0-150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). End-of-stroke cushioning is a bumper, and switch slots around the body support magnetic sensing where a magnet is ordered.
This SKU has no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet; add the S suffix if position detection is needed. MD is the standard multi-mount series, while the MK family shares the compact body but prevents rod rotation. As a genuine AirTAC part it uses typical materials such as an aluminium-alloy body, stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals; exact dimensions depend on the stroke, and we confirm them 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
For force, size the bore first: this 25 mm double-acting cylinder pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the smaller 20 mm and larger 32 mm bores push 157.1 N and 402.1 N; double-acting speed spans 30-500 mm/s. Choose MD when rod rotation is acceptable and MK when it is not. Acting styles include double acting, single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ, which adds a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range). The 35 mm stroke is comfortably within the 60 mm limit for a 25 mm double-acting bore; because the covers are short, avoid over-long strokes on this compact body. Order with the S suffix for a magnet, choose PT or G thread, and route side-load questions to us for the datasheet figures.
Applications
Pick-and-place transfer
Mounted side by side on a compact transfer head, the 35 mm stroke extends and retracts to move small parts between stations, and the 6-way mounting lets the body be fixed in whatever orientation the layout needs.
Part stopper on a line
Used as a retractable stopper, the cylinder holds parts flowing on a conveyor or roller track until the next station is ready; the square body bolts flat against the machine frame from any of 6 directions.
Indexing fixture
Several cylinders mounted side by side advance workpieces one station at a time on an indexing fixture; the compact body keeps the pitch between units small, and each unit can be fixed top, side or bottom.
FAQ
Should I choose MD or MK for this application?
Both use the same compact multi-mount body. Choose MD, as here, when the piston rod is free to rotate, for example a simple push or eject motion. Choose the MK family when the load must not turn, such as a guided plate or a stopper that must stay square; MK adds a no-rotating plate, bushing and fixed rod.
How long a stroke can a 25 mm multi-mount cylinder take?
Double-acting 25 mm bores are tabled up to 60 mm, so this 35 mm stroke is safely within range. Because the body has short covers, an over-long stroke on so compact a frame is not recommended; keep to the stroke table and confirm exact body dimensions and side-load capability from the datasheet before finalising the design.
