Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X60SH
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X60SH 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 MD32X60SH
AirTAC's MD multi-mount cylinders use a compact square body that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so several units can sit side by side on one plate to save space. This MD32X60SH is a double-acting cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 60mm stroke, giving a theoretical push of about 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa (345.6 N on the pull side). The cushion is a bumper, and the built-in magnet suits the magnetic-switch slots around the body.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD family, where the rod can rotate unless your tooling stops it; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate when squareness matters. The S in this SKU means the cylinder is supplied with a magnet. Operating temperature is -20 to 70 C as standard, with an optional high-temperature seal material extending this to 0-150 C. Confirm dimensions and thread detail for this exact SKU from the datasheet, or ask us and we will check it for you.

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
Size the bore to the load: at 0.5 MPa the 32mm bore pushes about 402.1 N and pulls about 345.6 N, the strongest option in the 6-32mm multi-mount range. Choose MD when rod rotation is acceptable and MK when the rod must not turn; acting types cover double acting (MD, MDD, MDJ), single-acting push (MSD), single-acting pull (MTD) and the MDJ with a 10, 20 or 30mm adjustable range.
Stay inside the bore's stroke table - 60mm is the maximum listed for bore 32 - because the short covers of a multi-mount body caution against over-long strokes, and route side-load limits to us. Magnet is specified by the trailing S, and the thread is PT as the default or G when ordered with the G suffix.
Applications
Palletizer pin and hold-down actuation
Bolted into a compact palletizer frame from any of the six faces, the cylinder drives hold-down pins and part retainers, with the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa suiting small-load palletizing cells.
Workpiece positioners on bench-top fixtures
Side-by-side cylinders push workpieces against a fixed stop to set the machining position, and the square body clamps directly to the bench plate without brackets or adapters.
Sliding-part pushers on packaging chutes
Mounted flush along a chute wall, the cylinder pushes capped bottles or blisters across to the next lane, with the bumper cushioning each stroke and the magnet feeding position feedback to the PLC.
FAQ
Which port thread does the MD32X60SH use?
The 32mm bore uses a 1/8" port. AirTAC supplies the MD series with a PT thread as the default and a G thread when the G suffix is ordered - if you need a specific thread standard for your fittings, tell us and we will confirm the exact SKU specification from the datasheet.
What should I check before detailing the mounting?
Overall dimensions, rod-end detail and allowable side load all vary with the stroke and application, and the short covers of a multi-mount body caution against over-long strokes, so work from the datasheet for the 60mm-stroke footprint. The six-direction fixing and side-by-side layout make mounting flexible, but send any side-load case to us to confirm.
