Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X5
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X5 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 MTD32X5
The MTD32X5 is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that fixes from 6 directions and mounts side by side where panel space is tight. It is the single-acting pull type with a 5 mm stroke: air retracts the rod over a very short, positive move and the internal spring pushes it back out, so one air line runs the whole cycle. The short stroke suits latches, pins and ejectors rather than long travel. Cushioning is a bumper, the medium is air filtered to 40 um, and the operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family, the standard multi-mount series - the MK family is the separate no-rotating option. This SKU carries no magnet; magnet versions are ordered with an S suffix, so check with us for the exact code you need. Dimensions and sizing are confirmed 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
Bore 32 gives the strongest output in this series for a short retraction move; we confirm the pull-side theoretical force for your pressure from the datasheet. Acting options are MD double acting, MSD single push, MTD single pull (this part: spring out, air back), MDD double rod and MDJ adjustable stroke. Single-acting strokes run to 20 mm and 5 mm is at the short end - ideal where only a pin or latch must move, and the short covers caution against stretching any single-acting cylinder to over-long strokes. The magnet is optional with an S suffix and the port is 1/8 inch with a PT thread here or G on request.
Applications
Slide latch release
Air pulls a locking pin back 5 mm to free a fixture slide or guard door; the spring re-engages the latch whenever pressure is lost.
Short-travel hold-down
The spring keeps a clamp foot on a small bracket; a brief air pulse retracts the rod just enough to clear the part for removal.
Part stopper pin
A normally-out pin stops small parts at a station; air retracts it a few millimetres to release the piece and the spring resets the stop.
FAQ
Why choose a 5 mm stroke on a bore 32 cylinder?
A large bore delivers strong retraction force while the 5 mm stroke keeps the move minimal - typical for ejecting, unlatching or clearing a part. Single-acting strokes top out at 20 mm in this series, so anything longer needs double-acting MD. We confirm exact force and dimensions from the datasheet.
How is the MTD32X5 mounted?
The square body fixes from any of 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top or bottom - and cylinders mount side by side to save space. Allowable side-load and overall dimensions depend on the stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet before designing the fixture.
