Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X10S
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X10S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, pull type), 32 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 242.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X10S
The MTD32X10S is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator that can be fixed from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space. This version is single acting, pull type, so the working stroke pulls the rod in over 10 mm at the 32 mm bore. It runs on 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) of filtered air at 50-500 mm/s, with cushioning provided by a bumper. Because the pull side delivers less force than the push side, we confirm the exact pull-side thrust figure from the datasheet on request.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family, which is the standard multi-mount series; only the MK family prevents rod rotation. The trailing S in the model code means this SKU includes the magnet for magnetic-switch detection. We confirm dimensions, sizing and bore-specific details from the datasheet whenever you need them.

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 when you need the largest single-acting force in the range; pull-side thrust is lower than push-side thrust, so ask us for the exact figure before sizing. MTD means single acting, pull type: the working stroke is the pull. Pick MD (rotation allowed) rather than MK (rotation prevented) unless your load must not turn. This SKU has a 10 mm stroke, which sits well inside the 20 mm maximum for single-acting units, and the short covers caution against choosing an over-long stroke. The trailing S adds the magnet; the PT thread can be swapped for G if your supply uses that standard. We route side-load questions to the datasheet.
Applications
Conveyor gate and stopper pin
Pull a stopper pin out of the product path to release flow on a compact transfer line. The square body fixes from six directions, so the cylinder fits tight between frame rails and sits side by side with other stations.
Small-parts clamp station
Draw a clamp link back to hold a small housing against a fixture on an assembly bench. Side-by-side mounting keeps several clamp stations on one compact plate, and the magnet supports position switch detection.
Indexing pin for a rotary dial
Retract a locating pin so a rotary indexing table can advance, then let it reseat in the next position. The short 10 mm stroke suits the shallow pocket beside the dial where space is limited.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MTD32X10S mean?
The trailing S shows this SKU is supplied with a magnet, so it can be detected by magnetic switches fitted in the slots around the body. The sibling model MTD32X10, without the S, is supplied without a magnet. Magnet is an option on the MD/MK range, never a fixed standard.
How long a stroke can this single-acting cylinder have, and what else should I check?
Single-acting multi-mount cylinders are offered up to 20 mm stroke; your 10 mm stroke is comfortably inside that. The short covers of this design caution against selecting an over-long stroke, and side-load limits and exact dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm those from the datasheet or ask us.
