Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD6X15
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD6X15 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 6 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 14.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD6X15
The MDD6X15 is an AirTAC MD-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body, double-acting, double-rod unit you can fix from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mount side by side to save space. The 6 mm bore with a 15 mm stroke covers short transfer and positioning moves; at 0.5 MPa the bore delivers a theoretical 14.1 N push and 10.6 N pull through each rod, and the cushion is a bumper. Magnetic-switch slots are arranged around the body, and the guide precision is high enough that no added lubricant is needed.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD family (the MK family is the no-rotating version). This SKU has no magnet, as shown by the absence of an S suffix. 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
Choose the 6 mm bore when your job needs only about 14.1 N of push (10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa); larger MD/MDD bores give more thrust. The MD family is the standard type where rod rotation is allowed; pick MK if you must prevent rotation. This MDD double-rod unit is double acting, with rods on both sides. Strokes for 6 mm bore double-acting units run up to 35 mm, so the 15 mm stroke is within the table; the short cover is a reason not to specify an over-long stroke. This SKU has no magnet (choose an S suffix if you need one) and a PT thread; G is available.
Applications
Stopper or gate
Extend a 15 mm stopper pin into a conveyor or chute lane; the square body fixes from any of 6 directions, so the gate cylinder mounts wherever the frame allows.
Jig positioning
Locate or index small parts on a jig with a short 15 mm push; side-by-side mounting keeps multiple units in a tight pitch.
Small-parts clamp
Clamp light components using the 6 mm bore's 14.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, with the double-rod body acting from either face in a compact fixture.
FAQ
How does the MDD double-rod type differ from the standard MD?
Both are standard MD-family multi-mount cylinders where rod rotation is allowed. The MDD double-rod version has rods on both ends, so the same cylinder can push or pull work from either face. It is double acting, unlike MSD/MTD single-acting variants, and does not prevent rotation like the MK family.
What stroke range is available for this 6 mm bore?
Double-acting 6 mm bore units run up to 35 mm, so the 15 mm stroke on this SKU is within the standard table; a longer stroke than the cover is designed for should be avoided. For exact dimensions at this stroke, or side-load limits, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
