Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X10S 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 MKD25X10S
The MKD25X10S 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 stroke suits quick, sensed clamp and locate moves, 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. The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet for position sensing through the body slots, 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 a rod on both ends. MKD is the no-rotating, double-rod choice - take MD if rotation is acceptable, or MSK/MTK for a single-acting spring return. The 10 mm stroke is a short, quick move well inside the bore 25 table (up to 60 mm); the covers are short, so an over-long stroke is best avoided. The S suffix means this SKU has the magnet - choose the plain MKD25X10 if you do not need sensing. Thread is PT, with G available. Side-load limits and exact dimensions come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Sensed Small-Part Clamping
The double rod clamps a small part from two sides in a compact fixture, and the built-in magnet lets the switch slots confirm the clamped position without extra hardware on the tooling.
Confirmed Gate Stopper
The fixed, non-rotating rod ticks out 10 mm to stop a part at a gate on a light conveyor line, with the magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation from the slots around the body.
Two-Side Part Location
One short cylinder locates a machined part from either end of the fixture, backed by bore-25 double-acting figures of 245.4 N push / 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa and 6-way fixing for tight layouts.
FAQ
How much thrust does the bore 25 give, and on which side?
Per the facts sheet, the bore 25 double-acting figures at 0.5 MPa are 245.4 N on the push side and 206.2 N on the pull side - the push side is always the higher of the two. With a double-rod cylinder, size the load against these figures and confirm the exact sizing from the datasheet before ordering.
Can I detect the piston position on this cylinder?
Yes. The S in MKD25X10S means the magnet is fitted, and the multi-mount body has magnetic-switch slots around it, so a switch can be seated in any of the six mounting faces. Sensor part numbers are not listed here; tell us the application and we will confirm the right match from the catalogue and datasheet.
