Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD10X25
The AirTAC Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD10X25 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD10X25
The MKD10X25 is a genuine AirTAC MK-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space. This is the double-rod version, so the 10 mm bore works from both faces with a 25 mm stroke and the rod is held against rotation by a fixed rod and plate - useful where the load must not turn. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side thrust is about 33 N on each side, with a TPU bumper cushioning the stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the no-rotating MK family rather than the standard MD family. The SKU carries no magnet, so no magnetic switch sensing is built in. We can confirm exact dimensions, rod details and sizing from the AirTAC 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
A 10 mm bore suits light-duty work: around 33 N of rod-side thrust at 0.5 MPa on both faces, since the double-rod construction gives the same rod side in each direction. Choose MKD over MD when the rod must not rotate; choose MD when some rotation is acceptable and cost matters. Double-acting air moves the piston both ways, with speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The 25 mm stroke sits comfortably inside the 10 mm bore's table, which runs up to 35 mm - keep the stroke short, as the compact covers are not meant for over-long strokes. No trailing S means no magnet is fitted; add S to the code if you need switch sensing. The thread is PT by default (G available); ports are M5x0.8 on this bore. Route side-load questions to us and check the datasheet.
Applications
Small-parts stopper
Mounted through a fixture plate from the top or bottom, the double-rod MKD10X25 extends and retracts a non-rotating stopper pin that halts small parts at a station without the pin twisting in its guide.
Dial indexing pin
Fixed from the side of a rotary indexing table, the rod pushes a locating pin into index holes on both strokes, with the no-rotating plate keeping the pin aligned hole after hole.
Dual-face light clamp
Built side by side into a compact fixture, both rod ends press outward or inward on thin workpieces, giving balanced clamping from one 10 mm bore body in a tight envelope.
FAQ
What does the MKD prefix mean on the MKD10X25?
MKD decodes as the MK family's double-rod variant: a double-acting, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder with a rod on both faces of the piston. Both sides deliver the rod-side thrust (about 33 N at 0.5 MPa on this 10 mm bore), and the fixed rod and plate stop the rods from turning.
How should I mount it and how far can it stroke?
The square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top or bottom - and units sit side by side to save space. For a 10 mm bore the double-acting stroke table runs up to 35 mm; this model uses 25 mm. Keep strokes short with the compact covers, and confirm exact dimensions and side-load limits from the datasheet before designing the mounting.
