Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK32X10S 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 MTK32X10S
The MTK32X10S is an AirTAC MK-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side with neighbouring cylinders to save panel space. This 32 mm bore unit is single acting, pull type: compressed air pulls the rod in and a spring returns it out, so it loses power if air supply fails in the extended direction - useful where a fail-out position is wanted. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) and speed range is 50-500 mm/s. Cushioning is a bumper, and magnetic-switch slots run around the body for position-sensing switches.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating version of the compact square-body range: a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing stop the piston rod from turning, which matters when the load must stay square to the body - the MD family is the standard version where rod rotation is not prevented. The trailing S in MTK32X10S means this SKU comes with a magnet; it is an optional feature, not standard on all models. We can confirm exact 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
A 32 mm bore is the largest in this range, chosen when the compact body still needs substantial force; for a pull-type single-acting cylinder the effective pull-side force is lower than the push side, so confirm the figure for this bore and acting type from the datasheet. Choose MTK over MD when the rod must not rotate; choose MD when rotation is acceptable. Acting type options: double acting (MK), single push (MSK), single pull (this MTK), double rod (MKD) and adjustable stroke (MKJ). This SKU has a 10 mm stroke - single-acting models in this family go up to 20 mm, and the short covers mean an over-long stroke should be avoided; ask us to check your duty against the datasheet. The trailing S adds the magnet for switch sensing, and the port thread here is PT (G is available as an option).
Applications
Fail-out gate stopper
On a conveyor line, the pull-type single action lets air pressure retract the stopper blade while a spring pushes it back out to stop parts if air is lost. The no-rotating rod keeps the blade square to the product flow.
Indexing fixture
Several MTK units mounted side by side actuate indexing pins along a rotary or linear indexing table. Fixing from 6 directions lets each cylinder bolt into tight fixture plates without custom brackets.
Side-rail part diverter
A short-stroke push of the extended spring position nudges small parts off a conveyor lane into a chute. The compact 32 mm body slots between guide rails, and the magnet supports end-of-stroke sensing.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MTK32X10S mean?
The trailing S means this SKU is supplied with a magnet, which lets the magnetic-switch slots around the body sense piston position. Magnet is an optional feature: model codes without the S are supplied without it. The port thread on this 32 mm bore unit is PT as standard, with G available as an option.
Where can I mount this cylinder, and how long can the stroke be?
As an MK multi-mount cylinder it fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and can sit side by side with other units to save space. Single-acting models like this one are limited to short strokes (up to 20 mm in the range), and the short covers mean an over-long stroke is not advisable; exact dimensions and allowable side-load come from the datasheet, which we can provide on request.
