Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD25X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD25X60S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 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 MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD25X60S
The AirTAC MDD25X60S is a compact multi-mount cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke. Its square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can be bolted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body. This is the double-rod variant: a rod extends from both faces, so one cylinder can push or carry work from either side of the mount. Cushioning is a bumper, and at 0.5 MPa the bore delivers about 245.4 N of theoretical push.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, so rod rotation is not actively prevented - choose the MK family when the rod must not turn. The trailing S shows this SKU includes a magnet for position detection; versions without a magnet are available. It runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with no added lubricant required. Dimensions and sizing for this exact stroke are confirmed 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 bore by thrust: at 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore gives about 245.4 N of theoretical push. The double-rod MDD format puts a rod on both faces, useful when the cylinder must act on both sides of a fixture. If rotation must be prevented, the MK family is the no-rotating alternative; the standard MD allows it. Strokes for this bore run up to 60 mm, and the short cover design argues against ordering more stroke than the job actually needs. The trailing S adds the magnet; the thread is PT as standard with G selectable.
For side-load limits and exact envelope dimensions at this stroke, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
The double-rod push from both faces lets one MDD cylinder operate opposing clamp pads in a machining or assembly fixture, holding small parts square without a second actuator.
Conveyor gate stopper
Mounted through a conveyor side frame, the 60 mm stroke extends a stopper blade to halt parts at a work station and retracts flush to release flow.
Two-sided eject in a jig
With rods on both faces, the cylinder ejects a finished part upward while a tied link resets on the opposite side, keeping a compact jig footprint.
FAQ
What does the double-rod MDD format give me over a standard MD cylinder?
MDD is still a double-acting cylinder, but it carries a rod on both faces of the piston. Either side can push, so one unit can clamp or act from both sides of a mount, and both ends stay accessible for tooling. Theoretical push at 0.5 MPa for this 25 mm bore is about 245.4 N.
How many ways can I mount this cylinder, and can it be mounted next to others?
The square body fixes from six directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. Because the body is compact, units can also be mounted side by side to save space. Exact envelope dimensions and side-load limits for your stroke come from the datasheet - ask us and we will confirm them.
