Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X15
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X15 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 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 MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X15
The MDD32X15 is a 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke multi-mount cylinder with rods on both sides. Because the rods reduce the effective area on each side, theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa is 345.6 N per rod side. The compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so cylinders mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision (no added lubricant). Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), medium is air filtered to 40 um, speed is 30-500 mm/s, and cushioning is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family: a standard double-rod variant, not the no-rotating MK version. As the SKU shows, this model carries no magnet. The port is 1/8" with PT thread. Dimensions and side-load limits vary with stroke, so we confirm exact figures 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
At 32 mm bore this is the largest multi-mount size, delivering 345.6 N theoretical thrust per rod side at 0.5 MPa - choose it when clamping or pressing forces are highest. The double-rod MD design gives a rod on both faces, useful for dual-sided actuation or symmetric tooling; if the rod must not rotate, step across to the MK family instead. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the bore 32 table (up to 60 mm), but remember the short cover: avoid over-long strokes on a compact body. Magnet versions add the S suffix, and thread can be PT (this model) or G.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Clamp small workpieces in a machining or assembly fixture, with rods on both sides acting symmetric tooling or a mirror clamp on the opposite face.
Gate and stopper duty
Raise, lower or extend a stopper blade to halt parts on a conveyor line, fixed from the top or side of the narrow machine frame.
Side-by-side indexing
Mount several 32 mm bodies side by side in a tight manifold to index or reject parts laterally at successive stations.
FAQ
Why is the MDD32X15 thrust figure lower than a standard MD cylinder of the same 32 mm bore?
The MDD double-rod design carries a rod on both faces, so the effective piston area on each side is the annular area, not the full bore. Theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa is 345.6 N per rod side, matching the pull-side figure for a 32 mm bore. For the full-bore push figure of 402.1 N you would need a single-rod MD model.
How many ways can I mount this cylinder, and how long can the stroke be?
The square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can sit side by side to save space. For 32 mm bore the stroke table runs up to 60 mm; keep the stroke short, because the cover is compact and an over-long stroke is not recommended. Overall dimensions and allowable side-load vary with stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet.
