Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X15S
The AirTAC Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X15S 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 MTD25X15S
The AirTAC MD series multi-mount cylinder is a compact square-body actuator that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side with neighbouring cylinders to save space. This MTD25X15S is a single-acting, pull-type cylinder: compressed air retracts the 25 mm bore rod over a 15 mm stroke and the internal spring returns it, which suits jobs where the resting position must be extended. Cushioning is a bumper, and magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a speed range of 50-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD (standard) family, so rod rotation is not prevented; for a no-rotating version choose the MK family. As the SKU shows, the trailing S means this cylinder includes the magnet, and the thread is PT. Pull-side force, dimensions and sizing for this bore and stroke 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
Single-acting versions in this series cover strokes up to 20 mm, and this SKU carries 15 mm, so it sits comfortably inside the table. Choose MD (standard) if rod rotation is acceptable and MK (no-rotating) if the rod must not turn; acting choices are double acting, single push, single pull, double rod and adjustable-stroke. As a pull type, output on the air side is lower than the push side, so we confirm the exact force figure from the datasheet for your application. The trailing S adds the magnet; thread is PT with G available on other SKUs. Keep strokes short, as the compact cover limits over-long strokes, and route any side-load question to us.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
The spring holds the rod extended to clamp small parts by default, and air pulls it clear for loading and unloading. A compact foot or side mount fits tight fixture plates.
Conveyor gate and stopper
Use the pull action to lower a stopper blade out of the product path and let the spring raise it back. The 6-way fixing lets the body bolt under or beside a slim conveyor frame.
Jig positioning pin
Air retracts a locating pin so a workpiece can drop into a drill or assembly jig, and the spring returns the pin to position each cycle. Side-by-side mounting suits multi-pin jigs.
FAQ
What does the model code MTD25X15S decode to?
MTD is the single-acting, pull-type version of the AirTAC MD multi-mount family: air retracts the rod and a spring returns it. The 25 is the bore in mm, 15 is the stroke in mm, the trailing S means the magnet is included, and with no G the thread is PT (M5x0.8 port on this bore).
How can I mount and position this cylinder?
The square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), so you can bolt it face-on, from above, or from the side, and place cylinders side by side to save space. Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm exact mounting figures from the datasheet, and ask us about side load.
