Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X30
The AirTAC Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X30 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 MKD25X30
The MKD25X30 is a genuine AirTAC MK-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body pneumatic cylinder that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and can be mounted side by side to save space on fixtures and machine frames. This is the double rod variant - a rod extends from both ends, so the same 25 mm bore drives work from either side - with a 30 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a theoretical push thrust of 245.4 N, and the cushion is a bumper. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body for position sensing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MK no-rotating family: a fixed rod and plate stop the rod from turning, unlike the standard MD family where rod rotation is not prevented. As the SKU shows, this cylinder is supplied without a magnet. Overall dimensions are per stroke, so confirm sizing and drawings from the datasheet - we are happy to send it 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
The 25 mm bore is a mid-size choice in the MK range, giving 245.4 N theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa - enough for clamping, stopping and lifting small-to-medium loads. Choose MKD (double rod) when you need push output from both ends, MK when only one rod is needed, or the MD family when rod rotation is acceptable. Acting is double, so operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa for this bore. The 30 mm stroke sits within the bore 25 double-acting table (up to 60 mm); note the short covers mean an over-long stroke should be avoided, and side load limits are datasheet values - route those to us. This SKU has no magnet; add S for magnetic-switch compatibility. Port thread is PT by default with G available.
Applications
Two-sided part stopper on a conveyor
A double rod body can gate or stop parts from either side of a narrow conveyor lane, with the no-rotating rod keeping the stop face square to the product flow.
Clamping both ends of a workpiece
In a machining jig, rods extending from both ends of the same cylinder clamp a part on two faces at once, saving the space a second cylinder would need.
Side-by-side actuation on a tight fixture plate
The square body fixes from 6 directions and mounts side by side, so several MKD25X30 units can line up on a dense automation plate without wasted pitch.
FAQ
Why choose the MKD double rod version instead of a standard MK cylinder?
MKD puts a rod on both ends of the same 25 mm bore, so one cylinder can drive work from two sides - useful for clamping or stopping a part on opposite faces. Like all MK-family cylinders it is no-rotating: a fixed rod and plate stop the rod turning. At 0.5 MPa the bore gives 245.4 N theoretical push thrust, per the datasheet thrust table.
Where can I mount this cylinder and what are its dimensions?
The square multi-mount body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can sit side by side to save space. Because overall dimensions vary with stroke, confirm exact size and side-load limits from the datasheet; we can provide it on request.
