Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD16X35S
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD16X35S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 16 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD16X35S
The MDD16X35S is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder whose compact square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side with other cylinders to save space. The 16 mm bore, double-acting double-rod design and 35 mm stroke give about 100.5 N of theoretical thrust per side at 0.5 MPa, cushioned by a bumper, with magnetic-switch slots around the body for sensing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MDD double-rod variant carries a rod on both faces of the piston, so both ends deliver work simultaneously or independently of external linkage. The trailing S means this SKU is supplied with a magnet. We confirm exact dimensions and sizing 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
The 16 mm bore provides about 100.5 N of theoretical push at 0.5 MPa on each rod face - size your load accordingly. Double-acting bore 16 strokes run up to 50 mm, and the 35 mm stroke stays within the short-cover range; avoid specifying an over-long stroke on this compact body. This S-suffix SKU includes the magnet; the non-magnetic version is a separate SKU. Ports are M5x0.8, PT thread standard with G available.
Applications
Jig positioning in a fixture
Bolted from any of six directions into a drilling or assembly jig, the double rod positions a part from either side within a dense, side-by-side cylinder bank.
Symmetric press or squeeze
Both rod faces extend together, so one MDD cylinder can squeeze or form a small part symmetrically without a second actuator or mechanical linkage.
Vertical lift-and-lower gate
Mounted top-down above a chute or gate, the downward rod lifts a small gate while the opposite rod face serves as a counter-reference point.
FAQ
What stroke options does the 16 mm bore support, and is 35 mm safe?
For double-acting bore 16 multi-mount cylinders, standard strokes run up to 50 mm. The 35 mm stroke of the MDD16X35S is within that range, though on this compact body the cover design favors shorter strokes - avoid stretching beyond the datasheet table. If you need an in-stroke adjustable range, the MDJ variant adds a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustment.
How does the magnet in this model work?
The trailing S in MDD16X35S means the piston carries a sintered NdFeB magnet, and the square body has magnetic-switch slots machined around it, so a reed or Hall-effect switch can be slid to any position for end-of-stroke or intermediate sensing. Magnet-equipped and non-magnetic SKUs are listed separately - order the one your control scheme needs.
