Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD32X15
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD32X15 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, push type), 32 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 281.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD32X15
The MSD32X15 is a genuine AirTAC MSD single-acting, push-type multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space. The square body carries magnetic-switch slots around it and gives high guide precision with no added lubricant. With a 32 mm bore and a 15 mm push stroke, it provides a theoretical thrust of 281.5 N at 0.5 MPa for short-reach push, eject and clamp work. Cushioning is a bumper; the medium is air filtered to 40 um, at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), 50-500 mm/s, from -20 to 70 C.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MSD prefix is the standard multi-mount family's single-acting push variant; the MK family equivalents (MSK) add a no-rotating plate instead. This SKU has no trailing S, so the cylinder is supplied WITHOUT a magnet; choose an S-suffix model if you need switch detection as supplied. We confirm exact 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 32 mm bore for the highest thrust in the range: 281.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa on this single-acting push type. As an MSD push cylinder, air pressure extends the rod and a built-in spring returns it. The 15 mm stroke stays within the single-acting table (up to 20 mm); keep the stroke short because the cover is compact and an over-long stroke is not the intent. This SKU has no magnet; add the S suffix to get one. The default PT thread can be changed to G by selecting the G-suffix code.
Applications
Stopper gate on a pallet conveyor
The 32 mm bore gives 281.5 N at 0.5 MPa, enough to raise and hold a stopper plate under arriving pallets, with the 6-way body fixing to the conveyor frame from any free face.
Light press-fit and snap-in station
A 15 mm push stroke covers snap-fit and light press operations on small assemblies, and cylinders can be mounted side by side where multi-station space is tight.
Part lift-eject in drill jigs
After drilling, the push rod lifts the finished workpiece clear of the jig locator; the spring return drops it back down as soon as air pressure is removed.
FAQ
What is the difference between MSD (push) and MTD (pull) single acting cylinders?
MSD cylinders extend the rod on air pressure and return by spring; MTD cylinders retract on air and extend by spring. Use MSD for push, eject and clamp jobs like this MSD32X15, and MTD where you need the powered action on the pull stroke.
Does this model include a magnet for position switches?
No. The MSD32X15 SKU has no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet. If you need switch detection as supplied, order the MSD32X15S. In both cases the body has magnetic-switch slots, and exact stroke-specific dimensions should be confirmed from the datasheet.
