Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X10
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X10 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 32 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X10
The MD32X10 is a genuine AirTAC multi-mount cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke. The compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and several units can sit side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body. As a double acting cylinder it delivers a theoretical push thrust of about 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, so the 10 mm stroke suits short clamping, stopper and indexing moves, and the bumper cushions the piston at each end of travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where the piston rod is free to rotate unless your tooling prevents it. This SKU shows no magnet suffix, so it is supplied without a magnet. We confirm dimensions and sizing from the datasheet on request, since overall dimensions vary with stroke.

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
Choose the 32 mm bore when you need the largest thrust in this series - about 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa for this double acting model. Pick MD rather than MK when rod rotation is acceptable and you want the standard version. Acting options across the family include double acting, single acting push (MSD) and pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ). The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 60 mm maximum for this bore, and note the short cover keeps an over-long stroke impractical - stay within the datasheet table. Magnet is optional (choose the S suffix for it) and the port thread is PT as standard or G on request; this bore uses a 1/8" port. For side-load figures, ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamp on a fixture
The short 10 mm stroke is ideal for clamping small parts in a machining or assembly fixture, and the 6-direction body lets several clamps mount side by side on a shared rail.
Conveyor gate and stopper
Mounted top or bottom, the cylinder raises and lowers a stopper blade to halt parts on a conveyor line, with the bumper damping each extension.
Indexing pin on a dial table
The brief stroke drives an indexing or locking pin in and out of a rotary dial or pallet table, where the compact body fits in tight fixture space.
FAQ
How much thrust does the MD32X10 produce?
This is a 32 mm bore double acting cylinder, so its theoretical push thrust is about 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, the highest in the MD/MK series. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation?
Yes. The multi-mount square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can be mounted side by side to save space. Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet before designing the mounting.
