Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X25
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X25 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 MD32X25
The AirTAC MD32X25 is a compact multi-mount cylinder with a square body that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units mount side by side and share tie-rod holes to save space. This double-acting 32 mm bore version with a 25 mm stroke gives about 402.1 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa, enough for clamping, pressing and stopper duties in a tight footprint. Cushioning is by an elastic bumper, and magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, in which the piston rod is free to rotate; where rotation must be prevented, choose the MK no-rotating family instead. As the SKU shows no S suffix, this cylinder is supplied without a magnetic piston. Exact dimensions and sizing details for this stroke are confirmed from the AirTAC 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: at 0.5 MPa a 32 mm double-acting MD cylinder produces about 402.1 N on the push side and 345.6 N on the pull side, while 25 mm and 20 mm bores give 245.4 N and 157.1 N respectively if you need less. Choose MD where rod rotation is acceptable and MK where it must be prevented; acting types include double acting, single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ, adding a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range). Strokes for this bore run up to 60 mm - the short covers argue against over-long strokes, and side-load capacity should be confirmed with us. This SKU is the plain MD32X25 without magnet (pick the S suffix if you need magnetic-switch sensing) with PT ports; a G thread version is available.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Bolt the square body through its side or top faces beside a drilling or assembly station and use the 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa to grip small workpieces while they are machined or fastened.
Jig positioning on fixtures
Fix the cylinder from the bottom of a weld or machining jig so it sits flush and side by side with neighbouring units, advancing a 25 mm stroke to seat parts into their locating nests.
Gate and stopper duty
Mount the body to a conveyor frame from the side or top and extend the rod to raise a stopper or gate, cycling parts on and off a line at 30-500 mm/s.
FAQ
What does the code MD32X25 mean?
MD is the standard double-acting multi-mount family, 32 is the bore in mm, X25 is a 25 mm stroke, there is no S suffix so the piston is not magnetic, and with no G suffix the ports are PT thread (1/8" on this 32 mm bore). Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
How is this cylinder mounted?
The square body can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so several cylinders sit side by side and share mounting points to save space. Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm the footprint from the datasheet, and check side-load capacity with us before applying lateral forces.
