Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X15
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X15 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 MTD32X15
The MTD32X15 is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator that fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side to save space. This version is single acting, pull type, pulling the rod in over 15 mm at the 32 mm bore. It operates on 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) of filtered air at 50-500 mm/s, with cushioning provided by a bumper. The pull side delivers less force than the push side, so we confirm the exact pull-side thrust figure from the datasheet on request.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family, the standard multi-mount series; only the MK family stops the rod rotating. With no trailing S in the code, this SKU is supplied without a magnet. 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
Select the 32 mm bore for the largest single-acting force in the range; remember the pull side produces less force than the push side, and ask us for the exact pull-side figure before sizing the load. MTD means single acting, pull type, so the working stroke is the pull. Stay with the MD family if rod rotation is acceptable; choose MK where it must be prevented. This 15 mm stroke sits inside the 20 mm single-acting maximum, and the short covers caution against an over-long stroke. No S means no magnet; the PT thread can be specified as G instead. We route side-load questions to the datasheet.
Applications
Product stopper on a transfer line
Pull a stopper blade clear of the product path to release parts on a compact conveyor. Six-direction fixing lets the cylinder mount where frame space is tight, and units sit side by side along the line.
Jig locating pin retraction
Pull a locating pin back so an operator can load a part into the jig, then release it to reseat. The compact square body fits inside the jig footprint without adding bulk around the fixture.
Slide gate actuation in a small fixture
Actuate a short-travel slide gate inside a compact machine fixture, where the 15 mm pull stroke opens and closes the gate. The side-by-side body keeps neighbouring valves and cylinders close together.
FAQ
Why does MTD32X15 have no S at the end, and does that matter?
The code ends without an S, so this SKU is supplied without a magnet and will not trigger a magnetic position switch. If you need switch detection, order the MTD32X15S version instead. On the MD/MK range the magnet is an option shown by the trailing S, never a standard feature.
How much thrust does this cylinder produce in the pull direction?
MTD is the single-acting pull-type version, and the pull side always delivers less force than the push side at the same pressure. The exact pull-side thrust for the 32 mm bore depends on the internal return arrangement, so confirm the figure from the datasheet or ask us before sizing your load.
