Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD32X15S 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 MSD32X15S
The MSD32X15S 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 has magnetic-switch slots around it and offers high guide precision with no added lubricant required. With a 32 mm bore and a 15 mm push stroke, it produces a theoretical thrust of 281.5 N at 0.5 MPa, suiting short-reach push, eject and clamp tasks. Cushioning is a bumper; it runs on 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. MSD is the standard multi-mount family's single-acting push variant; the MK family's MSK equivalent adds a no-rotating plate. The trailing S means this cylinder is supplied WITH a magnet, so reed or solid-state switches can be sensed directly on the body slots; models without the S are supplied without a magnet. 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
Choose the 32 mm bore for the strongest thrust in the range: 281.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa for this single-acting push type. As an MSD cylinder the rod extends on air and returns by built-in spring. The 15 mm stroke fits within the single-acting table (up to 20 mm); with the short cover, avoid over-long strokes. The trailing S in this SKU supplies the magnet; drop it for a non-magnetic version. Ports are PT thread by default, with a G option via the G suffix.
Applications
Clamp-and-confirm on a rotary indexing table
The magnet in the piston signals clamp completion at each indexing station, while the 6-direction fixing lets the 32 mm cylinder bolt into cramped fixture plates.
Snap-fit pressing on small enclosures
A 15 mm push stroke with 281.5 N at 0.5 MPa presses lids and connectors home on compact assemblies, with side-by-side mounting for multi-point pressing.
Part diverter at a conveyor junction
The push rod nudges parts from one lane to another at a sorter junction, and the spring return clears the path automatically whenever air pressure is lost.
FAQ
How much thrust does the MSD32X15S produce?
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore, single-acting push cylinder gives a theoretical thrust of 281.5 N. Single-acting figures apply only to the push side, since the return is by spring; operating pressure for this variant is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
Can I use a long stroke with this cylinder?
No. Single-acting multi-mount cylinders like this one are limited to strokes up to 20 mm, and the short cover means an over-long stroke should be avoided. The 15 mm stroke of this model is well within that range; confirm exact stroke-specific dimensions from the datasheet.
