Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X70
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X70 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 MD32X70
The MD32X70 is an AirTAC MD series multi-mount cylinder, a compact square-body, double acting unit that can be fixed from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. Bodies can sit side by side and share mounting screws, so several cylinders occupy very little panel space. This 32 mm bore, 70 mm stroke version delivers a theoretical push force of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, with cushioning by a bumper at end of stroke and magnetic-switch slots machined around the body.
It is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where the rod is free to rotate; if your tooling needs the rod held square, look at the MK no-rotating family instead. This SKU has no S suffix, so it comes without a magnet, and the ports use PT thread. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um. Overall dimensions, weight and side-load ratings depend on the stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet or ask us for help with sizing.

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 bore for force first: at 32 mm, the push side gives 402.1 N and the pull side 345.6 N of theoretical force at 0.5 MPa, the largest in this range. This is a double acting MD, running at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); if you need a rod that never rotates, select the MK family instead. Stroke is fixed at 70 mm on this model. The compact short-cover body cautions against over-long strokes, so confirm the arrangement and dimensions for this length from the datasheet. Thread is PT as ordered here, with G available on other SKUs. Side-load limits are not quoted in this listing - send us your application and we will check them for you.
Applications
Conveyor gate stopper
Mount the body beside or under the line and extend the rod to stop or divert small cartons at a station; the 6-way fixing lets the cylinder sit flush where panel space is tight.
Small-parts clamp
Use it as a fixture clamp on a machining or assembly table: the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa to hold aluminum or plastic workpieces, and the bumper softens the end of each stroke.
Indexing fixture bank
Side-by-side mounting lets a row of MD cylinders advance pallets or parts one station at a time along an indexing line, with each body sharing the same mounting holes.
FAQ
How much force does the MD32X70 produce at 0.5 MPa?
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore gives a theoretical push force of 402.1 N on the push side and 345.6 N on the pull side. It is a double acting cylinder rated for 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure.
Can I really fix this cylinder from any face?
Yes. The square body fixes from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom, and units can be mounted side by side to save space. Because overall dimensions and side-load ratings change with the 70 mm stroke, confirm the numbers from the datasheet before designing the fixture.
