Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X10
The AirTAC Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X10 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 25 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 245.4 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 MKD25X10
The MKD25X10 is a bore 25 mm, 10 mm stroke double-rod cylinder from AirTAC's MK multi-mount family. The compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so cylinders mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision. The short 10 mm stroke suits quick clamp, stop or locate moves in tight fixtures, and the fixed-rod design stops the piston rod turning. At 0.5 MPa the bore 25 double-acting figures are 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull (theoretical). Cushioning is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MK models are the no-rotating family, while the standard MD family allows rod rotation. This SKU carries no magnet - the S suffix is what adds one - and the ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread as coded. 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
Bore 25 gives 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with the double-rod layout putting a rod on both ends. MKD keeps the MK no-rotating plate; choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable, or MSK/MTK if a single-acting spring return fits. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the bore 25 table (up to 60 mm) - remember the covers are short, so an over-long stroke is best avoided for rigidity. No magnet on this SKU; add the S version if you need position sensing. Thread is PT, with G available. Side-load limits and exact dimensions come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Compact Clamp in a Tight Fixture
A 10 mm stroke is enough to clamp or release a small part in a cramped machining fixture, and the 6-way fixing lets the bore-25 body bolt in from whichever face is open.
Short-Throw Part Stopper
The rod ticks out 10 mm to stop or present a part at a workstation, and the MK no-rotating plate keeps the rod end facing the part square every cycle.
Two-Side Jig Positioning
With a rod on both ends, one cylinder positions a jig or bracket from either side of the fixture, with bore-25 double-acting figures of 245.4 N push / 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
FAQ
What does MKD mean, and how is it different from MD?
MKD combines two things: MK is AirTAC's no-rotating multi-mount family, where a fixed rod and plate with a brass bushing stop the piston rod turning, and D means double rod - a rod on both ends. A plain MD or MDD cylinder is the standard family, where rod rotation is allowed. Pick MKD when orientation of the rod end matters.
Is a 10 mm stroke workable on this cylinder?
Yes - 10 mm is a standard stroke and sits well inside the bore 25 table, which goes up to 60 mm. Because the body covers are short, an over-long stroke is best avoided, so keep the stroke matched to the job. Exact dimensions for a given stroke and allowable side load are not listed here; confirm them from the datasheet or ask us.
