Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD20X15

The MKD20X15 is a genuine AirTAC double-rod multi-mount cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 15 mm stroke. Its compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. The double-rod design carries a rod on both ends, and the no-rotating plate keeps the rod from turning, so a 15 mm stroke handles short-throw work where the tooling must hold a fixed orientation. At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore delivers a theoretical push thrust of 157.1 N (131.9 N on the pull side), and cushioning is a bumper. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), from -20 to 70 C.

This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MK family - a no-rotating cylinder where a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing stop the piston rod turning, unlike the standard MD family where rotation is allowed. This SKU has no magnet (no trailing S), so it is not fitted for magnetic switch sensing as shown. Typical materials include an aluminium-alloy body, a stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals; we confirm exact dimensions, weights and sizing from the datasheet on request.

Choose the bore for thrust: this 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa (131.9 N pull side). MK is the no-rotating choice when rod rotation must be prevented; the standard MD family suits applications where rotation is acceptable. This is a double-rod, double acting unit with work available from both ends. The 15 mm stroke sits well within the 60 mm maximum for bore 20, though the short cover means over-long strokes should be avoided - check the datasheet for the practical range. No magnet on this SKU; the S suffix adds one. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread (G available on request). Side-load capacity depends on the installation - confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
