Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X15S
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X15S 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 MTD32X15S
The MTD32X15S 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 runs 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 prevents rod rotation. The trailing S 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
The 32 mm bore gives the largest single-acting force in the range; the pull side produces less force than the push side, so ask us for the exact pull-side figure before sizing. MTD identifies the single-acting pull type, whose working stroke is the pull. Choose MD where rod rotation is acceptable and MK where it must be prevented. This 15 mm stroke fits within the 20 mm single-acting maximum, and the short covers caution against an over-long stroke. The trailing S adds the magnet, and the PT thread can be ordered as G instead. We route side-load questions to the datasheet.
Applications
Stopper pin with position detection
Pull a stopper pin from the product path to release flow on a compact conveyor, with the magnet confirming pin position via a switch in the body slots. Six-direction fixing suits tight frame mounting.
Pull-type hold-down on an assembly jig
Draw a hold-down link back to secure a small part against a locating surface on an assembly jig. The magnet supports switch-based confirmation that the clamp has retracted or seated.
Indexing pin on a rotary table
Retract a locating pin so a rotary indexing dial can advance to the next station. The 15 mm pull stroke and compact square body fit the shallow pocket beside the dial, with side-by-side mounting for repeat stations.
FAQ
How do I choose between MTD32X15 and MTD32X15S?
Both are 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, single-acting pull-type multi-mount cylinders with a PT thread. The only difference is the trailing S on the MTD32X15S, which means it is supplied with a magnet so magnetic switches in the body slots can detect rod position. Choose the S version when you need position detection.
Can I use a longer stroke or load this cylinder sideways?
Single-acting multi-mount cylinders are offered up to 20 mm stroke, and the short covers of this compact design caution against selecting an over-long stroke. Side-load capability and exact dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm both from the datasheet or ask us before finalising your fixture.
