Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X25S
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X25S 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 MDD32X25S
The MDD32X25S is a double-rod multi-mount cylinder with a 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and a built-in magnet, shown by the trailing S in the code. The compact square body fixes from 6 directions and units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body for position sensing. It runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, delivers a theoretical 402.1 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and cushions with a bumper. The rod passes through both covers, letting you actuate tooling on either side.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD multi-mount family; the MK family is the no-rotating equivalent. The magnet on this SKU is as ordered (S suffix) - non-magnetic MDD versions are available without it. Typical materials are aluminium-alloy body and covers, stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals. 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
Specify the MDD32X25S when you want position feedback from the built-in magnet: reed or Hall-effect switches clip into the slots around the body - confirm compatible switch types from the datasheet. The 32 mm bore is the strongest MD multi-mount option at 402.1 N push / 345.6 N pull (0.5 MPa), and 25 mm is a sensible stroke for the short covers (bore 32 allows up to 60 mm). Choose double-rod when both ends must work; if rod rotation must be prevented, use the MK family instead. This SKU uses PT thread; add G for G ports.
Applications
Lift-and-lower jig riser
The magnet signals rod position so a PLC can confirm a jig or riser has fully lifted before the next station indexes. Side-by-side mounting keeps several risers on close centres under a fixture plate.
Clamp-and-verify fixture
The 32 mm bore's roughly 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps a small workpiece, while the magnetic switch tells the controller the clamp is made before machining or testing starts.
Two-way gate actuator
The double-rod layout lets a diverter gate be linked on either end of the cylinder. Six-direction body fixing makes bolting to a conveyor side rail or frame straightforward, and bumper cushioning limits gate slam.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MDD32X25S mean?
The trailing S means this cylinder is supplied with a built-in magnet. The magnet is an option across the MD/MK range, not a standard feature, so an MDD32X25 without the S carries no magnet. With the magnet fitted, magnetic switches held in the body slots can signal rod position; switch part numbers are listed in the catalogue - confirm your choice with us.
Are there stroke limits I should respect when mounting between covers?
The short covers keep the MDD body compact, so keep the stroke realistic: for a 32 mm bore the standard range runs up to 60 mm, and this 25 mm stroke suits that design. Long strokes with side loading should be checked first - send us the application and we will confirm allowable figures from the datasheet.
