Airtac MK Series Multi-position Locking Cylinder MK32X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MK Series Multi-position Locking Cylinder MK32X60S is a genuine MK 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. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MK Series Multi-position Locking Cylinder MK32X60S
The AirTAC MK32X60S is a 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, double acting no-rotating multi-mount cylinder supplied with a magnet. The square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units mount side by side on the same pitch to save space. At 0.5 MPa the bore gives about 402.1 N theoretical push force, with cushioning by a bumper, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating version of the MD series: a fixed rod and plate keep the piston rod from turning, while the magnet - ordered only because this SKU ends in S - works with the switch slots around the body. We confirm dimensions and switch fitment 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 the 32 mm bore reaches about 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull, the highest in the MD/MK range. MK is the no-rotating choice; MD suits jobs where rod rotation is acceptable. Acting is double acting here (MSK single push, MTK single pull, MKD double rod and MKJ adjustable stroke are the other options). This SKU adds the magnet (trailing S) for position sensing, carries 60 mm stroke - the maximum in the bore 32 double-acting table - and a PT thread (G available). Do not stretch an over-long stroke past the bore's table on these short covers, and route side-load limits to us.
Applications
Switched end-position check
With the magnet in the rod, sensors in the body's switch slots confirm full extend and retract on a clamping station, while the 6-way mounting lets the cylinder sit wherever the jig has room.
Square gate stopper
The non-rotating rod drives a stopper plate that meets cartons face-on every cycle, and the bumper cushions arrival at the end of the 60 mm stroke.
Side-by-side fixture clamp
Several MK32X60S units mount side by side on a machining fixture, each giving about 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa without needing lubrication.
FAQ
What does the S in MK32X60S mean?
The trailing S shows the cylinder is ordered with a magnet in the piston rod, for use with magnetic switch slots around the body. The same cylinder without the S (MK32X60) has no magnet; the magnet is an option, not a standard feature.
How far can I stroke a 32 mm bore multi-mount cylinder?
For double acting bore 32 the stroke table runs up to 60 mm, which is what this model carries. Multi-mount bodies have short covers, so an over-long stroke is not advisable; if you need a different length or adjustable range, ask us to confirm options from the datasheet.
