Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X25
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X25 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 32 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X25
The MDD32X25 is a double-rod multi-mount cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. The compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can be mounted side by side to save panel space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body. Running on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it delivers a theoretical 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, cushioned by a bumper, with a working speed of 30-500 mm/s. The double-rod design carries a rod from both ends, so a fixture or carrier can be driven from either side of the cylinder.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD multi-mount family (the MK family is the no-rotating version that prevents rod rotation). This SKU has no magnet and PT thread as standard. Typical construction is an aluminium-alloy body with a stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals; confirm exact dimensions and sizing from the datasheet - we can supply it 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 32 mm bore when you need the strongest thrust in the MD multi-mount range: 402.1 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The 25 mm stroke sits well inside the bore-32 table (up to 60 mm), and the short covers reward keeping the stroke modest rather than stretching it. Pick the double-rod MDD when a load must be moved or sensed from both ends; if the rod must not rotate, step across to the MK family. Thread options are PT (this SKU) or G - add the G suffix for G ports.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
The 32 mm bore gives about 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, enough for a compact clamp fixture that grips small machined or moulded parts during a secondary operation. Bumper cushioning softens the clamp hit.
Pallet-gate stopper
Body-fixing from 6 directions lets the cylinder be bolted to a conveyor frame from above or the side, extending and retracting a stopper blade to hold pallets or totes at a workstation.
Two-sided part ejection
The double-rod design drives a knockout pin or ejector from either end of the cylinder, useful in assembly tooling where parts must be pushed off a nest in sequence.
FAQ
What does the double-rod (MDD) variant give me over a standard MD cylinder?
MDD is a double-acting multi-mount cylinder with a rod extending from both ends, so you can drive or position a load from either side and use the rear rod as a mounting or signalling feature. Both rods share the same 32 mm bore, so the theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa is 402.1 N on the push side and 345.6 N on the rod side.
Can I mount this cylinder from any face of the body?
Yes. Multi-mount cylinders fix from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and multiple units can sit side by side on tight centres to save space. Overall dimensions depend on the stroke, so confirm mounting-hole positions from the datasheet before designing the fixture.
