Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X5S
The AirTAC Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD25X5S 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 MTD25X5S
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 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 in tight fixtures. Cushioning is a bumper, air filtered to 40 um is the medium, and the operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) at speeds of 50-500 mm/s. As a pull-type cylinder the working stroke is the pull direction; confirm the pull-side force figure from the datasheet.
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 trailing S in the SKU means a piston magnet is fitted, so magnetic position switches can be read from the slots around the body. We 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; keep strokes short because the covers are compact on this body. This SKU carries the S suffix for a piston magnet, and the port thread is PT by default with G available.
Applications
Small-part clamping
Through-body fixing into a machining fixture lets the 25 mm bore retract a hold-down over 5 mm, releasing a small machined part the instant the cycle ends.
Jig positioning
Side-by-side mounting on one pitch lets a row of these cylinders pull short locating pins on an assembly jig for compact electronic housings.
Compact gate control
Fixed to the underside of a small chute, the short pull stroke lifts a gate blade between load and discharge positions on a parts-feeder line.
FAQ
What does the S in MTD25X5S mean?
The trailing S means a piston magnet is fitted, so magnetic position switches can detect rod position in the slots around the body. The same cylinder without the S suffix has no magnet. The thread stays PT unless a G is specified.
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. Dimensions vary with stroke and side-load limits are not published as a simple number, so request the datasheet from us for exact figures.
