Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X60
The AirTAC Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD25X60 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 MKD25X60
The MKD25X60 is a genuine AirTAC MK-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body unit that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so you can bolt units side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. As a double-rod, double-acting bore-25 mm cylinder with a 60 mm stroke, it pushes or pulls from both faces with equal annular-area force, about 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s. Cushioning is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating type - a plate, brass bushing and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning - while MD models are the standard type that allows rotation. This SKU carries no magnet (no S suffix); only S-suffixed codes include one. We confirm dimensions, weights 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 the 25 mm bore when each side needs roughly 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa; bore 16 delivers 86.4 N and bore 32 up to 345.6 N on the annular side. MKD is the double-rod, no-rotating choice; MD is the standard type where rod rotation is acceptable. Other acting options are plain double acting (MD/MK), single-acting push (MSD/MSK), single-acting pull (MTD/MTK) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ/MKJ, adding a 10/20/30 mm range). The 60 mm stroke is the maximum for a bore-25 double-acting unit - keep strokes short, because the covers of a compact body set that limit. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C (150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material). The port is M5x0.8 with PT thread as built; G is available by suffix. Side-load figures and exact dimensions come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Jig positioning
Bolt the square body under a machining jig and use the twin rods to locate a workpiece datum; the no-rotating plate keeps pins and flats facing the same way on every cycle.
Conveyor gate and stopper
Fix from the top or bottom of a conveyor rail to raise a stopper blade; six-direction mounting lets the body bolt flat against the frame without extra brackets.
Two-sided small-parts clamp
The second rod lets one cylinder clamp a small bracket or cover from both sides at once in an assembly fixture, with equal 206.2 N force per side at 0.5 MPa.
FAQ
What does the MKD in the model code mean?
MKD breaks down as the MK no-rotating family (a fixed rod and plate stop the rod turning), D for double rod (a rod on both faces), 25 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. It is double acting, has no trailing S so it ships without a magnet, and the blank thread position means PT; a G suffix would give G threads.
How is a multi-mount cylinder fixed in place, and where do I find exact dimensions?
The square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units mount side by side to save space. Because overall dimensions change with the stroke and mounting face, confirm exact figures, and any side-load allowance, from the datasheet or ask us to check them for you.
