Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X50
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD32X50 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 MDD32X50
The AirTAC MD series multi-mount cylinder is a compact square-body actuator that fixes from six directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. Bodies sit flush side by side to save panel space, and slots around the body accept magnetic switches. This MDD32X50 is a double rod version with a 32 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke: the rod projects from both covers, so a 0.5 MPa supply gives a theoretical 345.6 N on each face, with a 30-500 mm/s speed range and a bumper for cushioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part, listed and orderable here. The SKU carries no S suffix, so no magnet is fitted; operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um and a working range of -20 to 70 C (up to 150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material). We confirm exact dimensions for this stroke and any sizing questions 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
The 32 mm bore is the largest in the MD multi-mount range and delivers 345.6 N per face at 0.5 MPa in this double rod layout, on both the push and pull sides. Choose MDD over plain MD when the load must be driven or guided from both sides; choose MK if the rod must not rotate. Acting is double acting, and the 50 mm stroke sits inside the 60 mm maximum for bore 32, though the short-cover design favours shorter strokes, so avoid specifying more travel than the job needs. No magnet is fitted on this SKU. Thread is PT; G thread is available. Side-load capacity is not quoted here: send us your application and we confirm from the datasheet.
Applications
Push-part transfer
The 50 mm stroke pushes a workpiece across a fixture and the second rod retracts it or supports the opposite side, all from a body fixed top or bottom of the station.
Two-sided press fit
Rods on both covers let one 345.6 N-per-face cylinder back up a light press or staking operation, with the square body bolted flush beside neighbouring units.
Slide actuation in a jig
A 50 mm travel drives a small linear slide in a machining or assembly jig, where the 6-direction fixing lets the body clamp wherever the frame allows.
FAQ
Why pick a double rod (MDD) cylinder over a standard MD for a 50 mm stroke?
MDD puts a rod on both covers, so the same 32 mm multi-mount body can push and pull a load or support it from two sides. Each face gives a theoretical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). A plain MD has a single rod; an MK adds a no-rotating rod if rotation must be prevented.
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation, and are dimensions published?
Yes: the square body fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and units mount side by side to save space. Overall dimensions depend on the 50 mm stroke, so we confirm the exact figures, plus side-load capacity, from the AirTAC datasheet on request.
