Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD6X35S
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD6X35S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 6 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 14.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD6X35S
The MD6X35S is an AirTAC MD-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body double-acting cylinder that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision without added lubrication. The 6 mm bore gives about 14.1 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, and the cushion is a bumper. It runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD family (rod rotation is not prevented; use the MK family for that). The S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston for switch sensing. 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
Pick the 6 mm bore for light duty: about 14.1 N push at 0.5 MPa (10.6 N pull). For heavier work go to 10, 16, 20, 25 or 32 mm bore. This is the standard MD double-acting variant, powered both ways by air. The 35 mm stroke is the top of the bore 6 double-acting stroke table. The trailing S means the piston carries a magnet - choose this only if you will sense position with switches. PT thread is standard, G available. For a non-rotating rod choose MK; route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Switch-checked part clamping
The built-in magnet lets a slot-mounted switch confirm the clamp is fully extended before the next cycle starts, with about 14.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
Gated small-parts flow
Side-by-side mounting along a conveyor lets these compact square bodies meter or stop small parts, with switch feedback on gate position from the piston magnet.
Fixture indexing
Six-direction fixing and slot sensors let the cylinder anchor and report position in an indexing fixture, the bumper absorbing each stroke end.
FAQ
What does the S in MD6X35S mean?
The trailing S means the piston has a magnet, so magnetic switches seated in the body slots can detect rod position. The MD6X35 without the S has no magnet. Thread is PT by default; a G thread version is also available.
Can I mount several of these cylinders next to each other?
Yes. The multi-mount square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units sit side by side to save space, with switch slots around the body. Note the bore 6 double-acting stroke table tops out at 35 mm, which this model meets exactly.
