Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X20
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X20 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 MD32X20
The AirTAC MD32X20 is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. Its body can be fixed from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), so units can be mounted side by side to save space on a fixture plate or machine frame. This is a double acting cylinder: air drives the rod out and retracts it, delivering a theoretical push force of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. Cushioning is a bumper, magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body, and guide precision is high without added lubrication.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family, the standard multi-mount series where rod rotation is allowed; the MK family is the no-rotating alternative. This SKU carries no position magnet (that is the trailing S option) and PT ports on a 1/8" connection. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s. We confirm exact 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
Pick the 32 mm bore when you need the strongest thrust in this range: 402.1 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa in double acting use. MD is the standard series and permits rod rotation; choose MK if the rod must not turn. Acting choices are double acting (MD), single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ, adding a 10/20/30 mm adjustable range). The 20 mm stroke sits comfortably within the bore-32 table, which tops out at 60 mm; note the short cover design, so do not specify strokes beyond the table. Magnet is the trailing S option, and ports are PT as standard with G available; route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Clamp small workpieces in machining or assembly fixtures. The 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa in a compact body that mounts side by side across a fixture plate.
Gate and stopper actuation
Raise and lower stopper gates or deflectors on conveyor lines. The square body fixes from six directions, so it bolts on wherever the frame allows, even in tight spots.
Jig positioning
Position and locate parts in weld or assembly jigs. The 20 mm stroke covers short locating moves while the bumper cushions the rod at each end of travel.
FAQ
How much force does the MD32X20 produce?
This 32 mm bore double acting cylinder delivers a theoretical push force of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa; the pull side is lower. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
How can I mount this cylinder?
The compact square body fixes from six 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; ask us about allowable side load.
