Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X70SH
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X70SH 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 MD32X70SH
The MD32X70SH 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 mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body. 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.
It is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where the rod is free to rotate; the MK no-rotating family is the choice when the rod must stay square. The S suffix means a magnet is built in, and the trailing G specifies G port 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
Size the bore for force: at 32 mm, the push side gives 402.1 N and the pull side 345.6 N of theoretical force at 0.5 MPa, double acting at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). This is a standard MD, so rod rotation is allowed; pick the MK family when rotation must be prevented. The S suffix fits the magnet for switch detection, and the G suffix sets G port thread; for PT thread order MD32X70S. The compact short-cover body cautions against over-long strokes, so confirm the 70 mm arrangement and its dimensions from the datasheet, and route any side-load question to us.
Applications
Sorting gate actuator
Drive a diverter gate that pushes totes or bins to a different lane at a sortation junction; the 6-way fixing lets the body bolt onto the frame from whichever face is accessible.
Jig positioning
Position and locate parts in a drill or welding jig: the 70 mm stroke reaches across the fixture, the magnet signals end positions, and side-by-side bodies keep the jig footprint small.
Test rig actuator
Extend and retract a probe or loading head in a laboratory test rig, where the G ports suit European fittings and the compact square body fixes to the rig frame from any face.
FAQ
Why does the MD32X70SH use G thread?
The trailing G in the code specifies G (ISO) port thread. A code with no thread letter, such as MD32X70S, comes with PT thread instead. Either way the port size is 1/8" on this 32 mm bore.
My part hits the rod slightly off-center. Is that fine?
Side-load capability is not a listed figure for these cylinders and depends on the stroke, so confirm it from the datasheet or ask us before applying side loads. The compact short-cover body also cautions against over-long strokes, so check this model's 70 mm travel against the datasheet as well.
