Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X15
The AirTAC Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X15 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, pull type), 25 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 144.4 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X15
The AirTAC MTD25X15 is a single acting, pull type multi-mount cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke. Its compact square body can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body. Because it is single acting, compressed air performs the pull stroke and an internal spring handles the return, so the short 15 mm stroke suits compact positioning jobs where the resting position is the extended one. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), speed is 50-500 mm/s, the medium is air filtered to 40 um, and cushioning at the ends of stroke is a bumper. Confirm the theoretical pull-side thrust at 0.5 MPa from the datasheet before sizing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD family, the standard multi-mount range; the MK range adds a no-rotating plate where the rod must be prevented from turning. As the SKU shows, this model is supplied without a magnet - choose the S suffix if you need magnetic switch sensing. The thread on this listing is PT, and we can confirm bore- and stroke-specific 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
The real choices are bore, acting type, stroke, magnet and thread. This 25 mm bore in a single acting pull type gives a compact body whose air stroke pulls the rod in and a spring extends it back out; confirm the pull-side theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa from the datasheet before sizing the load. Single acting strokes in this range run up to 20 mm, so 10 and 15 mm sit well inside the table, and the short covers reward keeping the stroke short rather than stretching it to the limit. Magnet sensing is optional and shown only by the S suffix, which this SKU does not carry. Ports are M5x0.8, with PT threads as standard here or G available; side-load limits and exact dimensions are confirmed from the datasheet - just ask us.
Applications
Spring-out conveyor stopper
Fix the body to the conveyor frame from the top or side. The spring keeps the stopper pin extended to hold arriving parts; applying air pulls it down to release the flow.
Jig clamp that opens on air
Mount several units side by side along a fixture. The spring holds each clamp engaged by default, and an air signal pulls the rod in to release the part only when wanted.
Fail-safe locating pin
Bolt the square body into a base plate from any of six directions. The pin stays out to index a pallet or slide, and air retracts it briefly so the pallet can advance.
FAQ
How do I choose between the 10 mm and 15 mm strokes in this 25 mm single acting range?
Both sit comfortably inside the single acting stroke table, which runs up to 20 mm for this bore. Pick the stroke that matches the actual travel your mechanism needs - 10 mm for the tightest envelope, 15 mm when the pull-in distance is slightly longer. The cylinder's short covers reward keeping the stroke as short as the job allows rather than stretching it to the maximum.
How is a multi-mount cylinder fixed in place, and where do dimensions and load limits come from?
The compact square body can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders mount side by side to save space. Because overall dimensions change with the stroke and side-load allowances are not published as a simple figure, confirm both from the datasheet; we can send the relevant data on request.
