Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X50
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X50 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 MD25X50
The MD25X50 is an AirTAC MD-series multi-mount cylinder, a compact square-body actuator that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space. With a 25 mm bore and 50 mm stroke in double acting configuration, it delivers a theoretical push force of 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a good match for clamping, positioning and gating tasks where panel depth is limited. Cushioning is provided by a bumper for a simple, low-maintenance end-of-stroke stop.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard version, so the rod is free to rotate unless your tooling controls it; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate if you need the rod held square. This SKU is supplied without a magnet, and the ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread. We confirm dimensions, weights 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
Bore sets the force: at 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N theoretical push in double acting use. Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable, or MK if it must be prevented. This model is double acting, working over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s. The 50 mm stroke sits within the bore 25 table (up to 60 mm); keep the stroke modest, as the short covers leave little margin for an over-long stroke. Magnet is not fitted on this SKU (choose MD25X50S for the magnet version), and thread is PT (G also available). Side-load ratings and exact dimensions depend on stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Fix the cylinder from the side or top of a fixture and use the 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp small parts during assembly or machining, with the bumper softening each clamp cycle.
Jig positioning
Mount several MD25X50 units side by side along a jig to position workpieces at the 50 mm stroke point, with switch slots around the body for repeatable end-position sensing.
Slide gate actuating
Bolt the body through any of its 6 faces to a machine frame and drive a small slide gate in and out over 50 mm, using the double acting stroke for powered return.
FAQ
What does the MD25X50 code tell me?
MD is the standard multi-mount family (double acting, rod rotation not prevented), 25 is the bore in mm, and 50 is the stroke in mm. No trailing S means no magnet is fitted, and no trailing G means PT thread. For a magnet version choose MD25X50S; for G thread, MD25X50SH.
Can I mount this cylinder from any face of the body?
Yes. The multi-mount design lets you fix the body from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and place units side by side to save space. Because the covers are short, avoid specifying more stroke than the job needs, and confirm side-load limits and dimensions from the datasheet.
