Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD10X25S
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD10X25S 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 MDD10X25S
The AirTAC MD series is a compact multi-mount cylinder with a square body that can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side with identical units to save panel space. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body, and guide precision is high enough to run without added lubrication. This MDD10X25S is the double-rod variant: a rod extends from both covers, so each side can carry a tool, a clamp pad or a load, while the built-in magnet supports position-sensing in the body slots. At 0.5 MPa each rod side delivers a theoretical 33.0 N of thrust, and the cushioning is a bumper that absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The 25 mm stroke fits short-reach clamping and positioning moves.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard version where rod rotation is not prevented; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate, bushing and fixed rod to stop the rod turning - this cylinder is MD, not MK. The trailing S in the SKU means this unit includes the magnet option. Medium is air filtered to 40 um, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and the temperature range is -20 to 70 C. We confirm exact dimensions and sizing from the AirTAC 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
Choose the bore for thrust first: at 10 mm bore this double-rod unit delivers about 33.0 N per side at 0.5 MPa, since both sides are rod sides. Decide between MD, where rod rotation is allowed, and MK, where a plate and fixed rod prevent it. Acting types span double acting, single-acting push (MSD/MSK), single-acting pull (MTD/MTK), double rod (MDD/MKD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ/MKJ, which add a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range). Keep the stroke within the bore's table - bore 10 double acting goes up to 35 mm - because an over-long stroke on a short-cover compact body raises side load; confirm allowable side load with us. This SKU's trailing S specifies the magnet; ports are PT (default) or G.
Applications
Small-parts clamping with position check
The double rods clamp small components between opposing pads in a compact fixture, and the built-in magnet lets the controller confirm the clamp and release positions without extra mechanical switches.
Two-sided divert gate
With rods on both covers, one short-stroke cylinder can push a diverter across a conveyor lane and act from the reverse side as well, slotting side by side with other cylinders in a tight transfer station.
Test-rig probe positioning
The 25 mm stroke, 33.0 N per side at 0.5 MPa and magnet-based end detection suit a benchtop test rig that positions a probe or stopper and reports reach electrically at each end of travel.
FAQ
What does the S in MDD10X25S mean, and why would I choose this over a standard MD?
The trailing S means this unit includes the built-in magnet for use with the switch slots around the body; without the S the cylinder has no magnet. The MDD prefix adds a second rod on the opposite cover, so both ends of the piston can do work, each delivering a theoretical 33.0 N at 0.5 MPa on the 10 mm bore.
Where can I mount this cylinder, and are there stroke limits I should watch?
The square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units mount side by side to save space. Bore 10 double-acting strokes run up to 35 mm; an over-long stroke on the short compact cover raises side load, so confirm allowable side load and exact dimensions from the datasheet.
