Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X50SH
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD25X50SH 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 MD25X50SH
The MD25X50SH 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 installed side by side to save space. Its 25 mm bore and 50 mm stroke in double acting configuration produce a theoretical push force of 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, useful for clamping, gating and positioning where space is at a premium. Cushioning at each end of stroke is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard version, so the rod is free to rotate unless your tooling holds it; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate where that is needed. The trailing S means a magnet is fitted for position sensing in the body slots, and the trailing H after it means G thread instead of PT. Ports are M5x0.8 on this bore. 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 drives the force: at 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N theoretical push in double acting use. Choose MD when rod rotation is acceptable and MK when it must be prevented. This model is double acting over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with the 50 mm stroke inside the bore 25 table (up to 60 mm). The S in the code means the magnet is included; the H selects G thread rather than the PT default, so match it to your fitting standard. Keep strokes short to suit the covers, and confirm side-load ratings and dimensions from the datasheet.
Applications
Small-parts clamp with G fittings
Fix the cylinder from the bottom or side of a compact fixture and clamp small parts with 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, using G-thread fittings where your pneumatic circuit specifies them.
Vertical lift-and-stop module
Bolt the body through its top or bottom face under a chute and lift a stopper plate 50 mm to release one part at a time, with the fitted magnet confirming end positions.
Tooling positioner
Install units side by side along a tooling plate to nudge components into location each cycle; the 6-direction fixing lets the same body fit the plate however it is drilled.
FAQ
What does the H at the end of MD25X50SH mean?
The trailing S means the cylinder is supplied with a magnet, and the trailing H after it selects G thread instead of the default PT. If you want PT thread with the magnet, order MD25X50S; without a magnet, MD25X50.
Where should I check dimensions and side-load limits?
Dimensions depend on the stroke and are listed in the datasheet, along with side-load limits, so confirm them there or ask us. The cylinder itself can be fixed from 6 directions and mounted side by side, and its short covers mean you should avoid specifying more stroke than the application needs.
