Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD25X15S
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD25X15S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, push type), 25 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 179.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD25X15S
The MSD25X15S is a single-acting, push-type multi-mount cylinder from AirTAC's MD family. Its compact square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body and high guide precision without added lubrication. In single-acting push service at 25 mm bore it develops a theoretical thrust of 179.1 N at 0.5 MPa, the cushion is a bumper, and the 15 mm stroke suits short pushing and clamping moves. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) and 50-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard series, where rod rotation is not restricted; the MK family is the no-rotating alternative with a fixed plate for jobs that need the rod held square. The trailing S on this SKU means the unit is supplied with a magnet for switch detection. Overall dimensions at this stroke and any sizing checks are confirmed 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
Pick the bore for thrust: at 25 mm this single-acting push cylinder gives 179.1 N theoretical at 0.5 MPa. MSD is single acting, push type - air extends the rod; MTD would pull instead, MD double acting works both ways, and MK versions prevent rod rotation. Single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm at this bore, so the 15 mm stroke sits within the table; the covers are compact, so avoid asking for an over-long stroke. Add S for a magnet and choose PT (default) or G thread - the M5x0.8 port serves bores 6-25.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
A compact hold-down that pushes a clamp pad or jaw over 15 mm to secure small parts in a fixture, fitting between neighbouring components thanks to 6-direction fixing.
Gate or stopper pin
Mounted alongside a conveyor, the cylinder pushes a stopper to hold or divert small parts at a station; side-by-side mounting keeps the control footprint small.
Pick-and-place push-off
At the end of a pick cycle the cylinder ejects a finished small part from its nest; the square body fixes from any of six directions to suit tight tooling layouts.
FAQ
What does the trailing S in MSD25X15S mean?
The S means this SKU is supplied with a magnet built in, so magnetic switches can be seated in the slots around the body. A code without S, such as MSD25X20, is supplied without a magnet - magnet presence follows the SKU and is not standard on every unit.
How is this cylinder fixed in place?
The square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can sit side by side to save space. For overall dimensions at the 15 mm stroke and any side-load limits, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
