Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD10X15S
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD10X15S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD10X15S
The MDD10X15S is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side with identical units to save space. This is the double-rod version with a 10mm bore and 15mm stroke: the rod extends from both covers, so a workpiece can be driven from either end, and because the rod area acts on both chambers the theoretical thrust is 33.0 N per side at 0.5 MPa (the rod-side annular figure). Cushioning is a bumper, and the air supply should be filtered to 40 um.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD standard family (MK is the separate no-rotating family). The trailing S in the model code means this unit carries a magnet for magnetic-switch detection. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with -20 to 70 C as standard (0 to 150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material). We confirm exact dimensions and sizing for this stroke 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
At a 10mm bore the MDD10X15S delivers 33.0 N of theoretical thrust per side at 0.5 MPa, since the rod occupies area in both chambers; pick this bore for light clamping and positioning, and step up to 16-32mm when you need more force. MDD is the double-rod MD variant: choose it when a rod is needed on both faces, MD when one rod is enough, and MK when rod rotation must be prevented. The 15mm stroke sits well inside the 35mm maximum for a 10mm double-acting bore - avoid over-long strokes because the covers are short. This code has the S magnet option; thread is PT by default, with G available.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Bolt the body from the side or bottom of a fixture and use either rod end to clamp small parts in a machining or assembly nest, with the magnet signalling clamp position.
Jig positioning
Fix from 6 directions inside a jig and extend the 15mm stroke to seat or release a workpiece stop from either side of the fixture plate.
Gate and stopper actuation
Mount units side by side on a conveyor line and use the dual rods to raise or retract inline stopper pins from both faces of a compact bracket.
FAQ
What does the D in MDD10X15S mean, and how does it affect thrust?
MDD is the double-rod version of the standard MD multi-mount cylinder: a rod extends from both covers. Because the rod reduces the effective area on both sides, theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa is 33.0 N per side (the rod-side annular figure for a 10mm bore), rather than the 39.3 N of a single-rod MD of the same bore. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Where can I mount this cylinder and how do I get exact dimensions?
The square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and identical units can be mounted side by side to save space. Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so for the exact footprint of the 15mm stroke, along with side-load limits, confirm from the datasheet or ask us and we will send it.
