Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK32X10
The AirTAC MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK32X10 is a genuine MK 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. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK32X10
The MTK32X10 is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from six directions, front, back, left, right, top and bottom, and mounted side by side with other cylinders to save space. This version is single acting, pull type: one air connection retracts the rod and the return happens inside the cylinder, so only one supply line is needed. The 32 mm bore is the largest in the multi-mount range, runs at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with speeds of 50-500 mm/s, and uses a 1/8 inch port. The 10 mm stroke gives a short, positive pull travel, and the cushion is a bumper that absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating version of the multi-mount range: a fixed rod and plate keep the rod from turning, unlike the standard MD family where the rod is free to rotate. This SKU carries no magnet (no trailing S), so piston position cannot be sensed by a switch in the body slots; the MTK32X10S variant covers that. Exact dimensions and sizing for this stroke 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
Choose the 32 mm bore when you want the highest force class in the multi-mount range; single-acting pull-side force is lower than the push side, so confirm the exact figure from the datasheet before sizing. MTK is the no-rotating, single-acting pull member of the MK family; step to the MD family if rotation is fine or a double-acting stroke is needed. The 10 mm stroke sits inside the single-acting limit of up to 20 mm, and the short covers caution against an over-long stroke in this body style. Bore 32 takes a 1/8 inch port with PT thread as standard and G available. This SKU has no magnet; allowble side load is not published here, so route sizing and side-load questions to us.
Applications
Escapement stopper
Fitted to a parts feed track, the rod blocks the next workpiece by default and one air line pulls it back to feed a single part; the no-rotating plate keeps the stop face square to the track.
Retract-to-release product gate
Mounted on the side frame of a light conveyor, this cylinder pulls a gate arm out of the product path and returns it automatically, with six-direction fixing making bracket layout easy in tight frames.
Fixture clamp release
On a machine fixture plate, the pull stroke retracts a clamp or lock pin to free the part, and the fixed rod prevents the pin from twisting out of alignment with the fixture hole.
FAQ
Which port and thread does the MTK32X10 use?
Bore 32 cylinders in this range use a 1/8 inch port. This SKU is supplied with PT thread, which is the default; a G thread version can be selected by ordering the code with the trailing G. Bores 6 to 25 use M5x0.8 instead.
Does the rod really stay rotation-free on this cylinder?
Yes. The MK family adds a no-rotating plate together with a fixed rod and brass bushing that stop the piston rod from turning, which the standard MD family does not. Typical materials are an aluminium-alloy body, stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals; route bore-specific detail to the datasheet, which we can confirm on request.
