Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X50
The AirTAC Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X50 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 MKD25X50
A multi-mount cylinder is a compact square-body pneumatic cylinder that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side to save space. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body, and the guided design holds high precision without added lubricant. This MKD25X50 is a bore 25 mm, 50 mm stroke double rod model: because the rods sit on both ends, both strokes work on the rod side, giving about 206.2 N of theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa. Cushioning is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family adds a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod so the piston rod cannot turn, unlike the standard MD family where rod rotation is allowed. This SKU is not fitted with a magnet. Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so we confirm 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
Choose bore 25 mm when you need roughly 206.2 N of rod-side thrust at 0.5 MPa; step up to bore 32 for more force. Pick MK over MD when the rod must not rotate; MKD adds a rod on both ends for push-and-pull duty. The 50 mm stroke sits within the bore 25 double acting table, which runs up to 60 mm - note the short covers, so avoid an over-long stroke. This SKU has no magnet (add S for a magnetised version) and a PT port thread, with G available; the port size is M5x0.8 at this bore. Send us your side-load and sizing questions and we will check the datasheet with you.
Applications
Conveyor gate stopper
Extend a stopper blade into the flow to hold cartons at a station. The fixed rod and no-rotating plate keep the blade square, and the opposite rod retracts it cleanly.
Small-parts clamp
Clamp small parts in a drilling or assembly fixture. The non-rotating rod stops the clamp pad from twisting out of alignment between cycles.
Indexing positioner
Push a pallet into position with one rod while the second rod drives the return blade, all from a body that fixes from six directions in a tight machine frame.
FAQ
How much force does the MKD25X50 produce?
This is a bore 25 mm double acting cylinder, but as a double rod model both strokes act on the rod side, giving about 206.2 N of theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
How is this cylinder mounted?
The square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can be mounted side by side to save space. Dimensions depend on the stroke, so confirm the exact figures from the datasheet before designing the mounting.
