Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X80
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD32X80 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 MD32X80
The MD32X80 is a double acting multi-mount cylinder with a 32 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke. Multi-mount bodies fix from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and can sit side by side, so compact fixtures stay tight without extra brackets. At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore delivers about 402.1 N of push-side thrust (345.6 N pulling), suited to clamping, stopping and light pressing, and cushioning is a bumper rather than an air cushion.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, so the rod is free to rotate; only the MK family prevents rotation. As coded, this SKU carries no magnet; add the S suffix if you need switch detection, with switch slots already machined around the body. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa; we confirm 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 bore for thrust: at 0.5 MPa a 32 mm bore pushes about 402.1 N (345.6 N on the pull side), the strongest in this series. MD keeps rotation free; MK stops it with a fixed rod and no-rotating plate. Acting choices run double acting, single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ). The standard stroke table for a 32 mm bore tops out at 60 mm, so confirm this 80 mm stroke with us before ordering. This SKU has no magnet; add S for one. Ports are 1/8 inch, PT thread by default or G. Short covers keep strokes compact, so avoid over-long strokes; route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Clamp Fixture Actuator
Side by side on a welding jig, two cylinders clamp steel tubes in place; the 32 mm bore's 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa keeps joints seated during tacking.
Pusher Diverter
Mounted through the side frame of a conveyor, the cylinder pushes cartons off the main lane onto a takeaway belt at a sortation point.
Pallet Stopper
Fixed from the bottom of a pallet conveyor, the cylinder lifts a stopper blade to hold pallets at a transfer station until the release signal.
FAQ
How does MD32X80 differ from the MK version of the same size?
MD is the standard double acting family, so the rod can rotate unless your load prevents it. MK is the no-rotating family, using a fixed rod and plate to stop rod turning. Pick MD for general push and pull, MK where a plate or fitting must stay aligned.
Is an 80 mm stroke within range for a 32 mm multi-mount cylinder?
The body fixes from six directions and units sit side by side to save space, but the standard stroke table for a 32 mm bore tops out at 60 mm. Confirm this 80 mm stroke and its dimensions from the datasheet with us before finalizing the design.
