Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X5
The AirTAC Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X5 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 MTD25X5
The AirTAC MTD series is the single-acting, pull-type version of the MD multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body unit that fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side so neighbouring cylinders share the same pitch and save space. This model has a 25 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke, made for very short pull-in moves where a full-size cylinder will not fit. Cushioning is a bumper, air is the working medium filtered to 40 um, and the operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) at speeds of 50-500 mm/s. Because this is the pull type, the working stroke is the pull direction; confirm the pull-side force figure from the datasheet before sizing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard multi-mount cylinder, while the MK family adds a no-rotating plate that prevents rod turning; this MTD model is a standard MD-series unit, not a no-rotating type. The SKU has no S suffix, so no piston magnet is fitted; choose an S-suffixed variant if you need magnetic position sensing. We are happy to 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
Bore sets the force: a 25 mm single-acting cylinder gives useful thrust in a small envelope, but as this is the pull type, confirm the pull-side figure from the datasheet with us. Choose MD if rod rotation does not matter and MK if it must be prevented; acting type options are double acting, single-acting push (MSD), single-acting pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) or adjustable stroke (MDJ). Strokes for single-acting bores run up to 20 mm, so this 5 mm stroke suits very short pulls; avoid over-long strokes, since the covers are short on this compact body. The trailing S on a part number means a piston magnet is fitted, and the port thread is PT by default with G available.
Applications
Small-part clamping
Bolted through its body to a compact fixture plate, the 25 mm bore pulls a clamp finger back over just 5 mm to free a finished bracket the moment machining is done.
Jig positioning
Side-by-side mounting on a shared pitch lets several cylinders sit along one jig edge, each pulling a short locating pin into place on small stamped parts.
Indexing a light gate
Fixed from the top of a small indexing plate, the short pull stroke retracts a detent pin one notch at a time to advance tiny components between stations.
FAQ
What does MTD mean in the part number MTD25X5?
MTD is the single-acting, pull-type variant of the AirTAC MD multi-mount family. The 25 is the bore in mm, the 5 after the X is the stroke in mm, and there is no trailing S, so this unit has no piston magnet. The port thread is PT by default; a trailing G would indicate G thread.
How is this cylinder mounted?
The square body fixes from six directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom, and cylinders mount side by side to save space. Overall dimensions vary with the stroke, so please request the datasheet from us for exact mounting figures and side-load limits.
