Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X30
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X30 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 MD10X30
The MD10X30 is a genuine AirTAC MD multi-mount cylinder, a compact square-body air cylinder that fixes from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. Its body mounts side by side with neighbouring units to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. This 10 mm bore double acting unit gives about 39.3 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa over a 30 mm stroke, with a bumper cushion at each end of travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD family, where rod rotation is not prevented. The SKU carries no trailing S, so this cylinder is built without a magnet. We 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
The 10 mm bore suits light thrust work: about 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs the rod held against rotation, choose the MK family instead of this standard MD. This unit is double acting (30-500 mm/s) at 0.15-1.0 MPa, and its 30 mm stroke stays within the 10 mm bore double acting maximum of 35 mm - avoid stretching a compact body with an over-long stroke. No S suffix means no magnet; add S to the code if you need switch sensing. Thread is PT, with G available. For side load questions, confirm with us from the datasheet.
Applications
Stopper on small conveyors
Fix the body under a miniature conveyor and extend the rod to stop lightweight parts at a workstation, retracting to release the flow.
Bench-top ejecting
Top-mount the cylinder beside a small mould or nest and use the 30 mm stroke to eject finished tiny parts from the fixture between cycles.
Compact lifting of light loads
Bolt the body bottom-up in a tight machine frame and use the double acting 10 mm bore to raise and lower a light guide or detector head.
FAQ
How much force does the MD10X30 deliver, and is a longer stroke available?
At 0.5 MPa the 10 mm bore gives about 39.3 N of theoretical push force (the pull side is lower). Double acting strokes for the 10 mm bore run up to 35 mm, so 30 mm is near the top of the range - keep the compact body's short covers in mind when sizing. Confirm exact dimensions per stroke from the datasheet.
Does this cylinder include a magnet, and how is it mounted?
No - MD10X30 has no trailing S, so it is built without a magnet; if you need magnetic switch sensing, order the S version instead. The square body fixes from all 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top, bottom), so you can bolt it from whichever face suits the machine layout.
