Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X20S
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X20S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X20S
The AirTAC MD10X20S is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side with other cylinders to save space on a fixture or machine frame. This double acting unit has a 10 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, and at 0.5 MPa it delivers a theoretical push force of about 39.3 N (33.0 N on the pull side), suiting light clamping, positioning and stopper duties. Cushioning is a bumper, and magnetic-switch slots run around the body for position sensing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where the rod is free to rotate (the MK family is the no-rotating equivalent). The trailing S in the code shows this SKU carries a built-in magnet. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with filtered air, and we 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
Choose the 10 mm bore when your job needs roughly 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (33.0 N pull); step up a bore for more thrust. This MD version is double acting with air on both sides; the MK version prevents rod rotation, and single acting, double rod and adjustable-stroke variants exist if you need them. The 20 mm stroke sits well inside the 35 mm maximum for a 10 mm bore double acting unit - the compact body suits short strokes, so avoid asking it to span an over-long stroke, and route side-load questions to us. The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet; the same cylinder without S has none. Thread on this model is PT.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Clamp small brackets or housings in a machining or assembly fixture - the 39.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 20 mm stroke hold light parts while they are worked on.
Conveyor gate and stopper
Mount the cylinder under or beside a conveyor to raise a stopper or divert small parts, fixing it from whichever of the 6 directions the frame allows.
Jig positioning
Bolt MD10X20S units side by side along a jig to position workpieces at multiple points without extra mounting hardware, sensing position via the body's switch slots.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MD10X20S mean?
The trailing S shows this SKU includes a built-in magnet, which lets the slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing. The same cylinder ordered without the S (for example MD10X25) has no magnet. Magnet is an option, not a standard feature, so order exactly as shown.
How many ways can I mount this cylinder?
The square multi-mount body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can sit side by side to save space. Overall dimensions depend on stroke, so confirm exact sizing from the datasheet, and send us side-load questions before applying lateral force.
