Airtac MSK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MSK32X10
The AirTAC Airtac MSK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MSK32X10 is a genuine MK 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. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MSK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MSK32X10
The MSK32X10 is a compact multi-mount cylinder with a square body that fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and lines up side by side with identical cylinders to save mounting space. This single-acting, push-type unit extends with air and returns by spring, and the largest bore in the range, 32 mm, provides about 281.5 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm stroke covers short-throw clamping and stopping duties, with a bumper as the cushioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MK family, where a no-rotating plate, bushing and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning, keeping the rod end square to the work. Supply air filtered to 40 um; proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and temperature range is -20 to 70 C (0 to 150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material). This SKU is without a magnet, as shown. We confirm 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 when the job needs about 281.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa - the highest single-acting push in this range - rather than the 25 mm bore's 179.1 N. MSK is single-acting push: air extends, spring returns. Choose MK for double acting, MKD for a double rod, MTK for single-acting pull, or MKJ for an adjustable stroke. The 10 mm stroke is comfortably within the single-acting table limit of 20 mm; because these bodies are compact, avoid stretching to an over-long stroke. This SKU has no magnet (no S suffix); select MSK32X10S for switch detection. Port is 1/8" on bore 32 with PT thread as shown and G available - for side-load figures, confirm with us from the datasheet.
Applications
Heavy small-part clamp on a welding fixture
The 32 mm bore's ~281.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds a steel bracket against fixture stops during a manual tack or check, with the no-rotating rod keeping the pad flat.
Pallet stopper on a transfer line
Mounted at the rail edge, the cylinder extends to stop a small pallet or tote at a workstation; the bumper absorbs the arrival and 6-way fixing suits tight frames.
Test-rig load apply point
A bench fixture uses the 10 mm push stroke to seat a sample under a measured pre-load, and the fixed rod keeps the loading face from twisting against the part.
FAQ
Why choose the 32 mm bore MSK32X10 over a smaller bore?
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore delivers about 281.5 N of theoretical push in single-acting push type, compared with 179.1 N at 25 mm and far less at 6-16 mm bores. If your clamp, stopper or ejector needs that higher force from a compact body, the MSK32X10 is the right selection; note it is single acting, so force is on extend only with spring return.
Where does this cylinder fit, and what should I confirm before ordering?
Its square body fixes from 6 directions and mounts side by side, which suits cramped machine frames, and the MK design stops rod rotation for oriented work. Keep the 10 mm stroke within the single-acting limit of 20 mm and avoid over-long strokes on this short body. Stroke-specific dimensions and allowable side load are in the datasheet - we will confirm them on request.
