Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X5S
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD32X5S 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 MTD32X5S
The MTD32X5S is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side with others to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision without added lubrication. This 32 mm bore single acting pull-type version works on filtered air at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), takes a 5 mm stroke, and cushions with a bumper. Because it is a pull-type cylinder, confirm the pull-side force for this bore from the datasheet before sizing the job.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD standard family (the MK family is the no-rotating counterpart). The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet; the thread is PT. We can 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
Bore sets the force: at 32 mm this is the largest multi-mount bore, and the pull-side force for this single acting model is confirmed from the datasheet. Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable, or the MK family if the rod must not turn. Acting type options are double acting, single acting push (MSD/MSK), single acting pull (MTD/MTK), double rod, or adjustable stroke. Single acting stroke runs up to 20 mm, and the short 5 mm stroke here suits quick hold or release jobs; the short cover cautions against specifying an over-long stroke. Side-load capacity comes from the datasheet, so route it to us. Pick the trailing S for a magnet or omit it, and PT or G thread.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
The air-driven pull stroke holds small machined or molded parts against a fixture while a second operation is performed, with the compact body fixed from the top or bottom of a crowded machine plate.
Gate and stopper actuation
Mounted side by side along a conveyor line, the 5 mm pull stroke lifts or drops a stopper blade to release one part at a time without taking up extra track width.
Jig positioning
Fixing from any of 6 directions lets the cylinder pull a jig pin into place on a welding or assembly fixture where a conventional tie-rod cylinder will not fit.
FAQ
What does MTD mean in the MTD32X5S code?
MTD is the MD family's single acting, pull type variant: air drives the rod inward and the cylinder is single acting, operating at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) for all bores. The trailing S shows this SKU includes the magnet; no S would mean without magnet.
Can this cylinder be mounted in any orientation?
Yes. The multi-mount square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can be mounted side by side to save space. Dimensions and side-load limits vary per stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet.
