Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X40
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X40 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 MD10X40
The MD10X40 is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder with a 10 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. The compact square body can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), so units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision. As a double acting cylinder it runs on compressed air filtered to 40 um in both directions at 30-500 mm/s, develops about 39.3 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa (more than the pull side), operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and is cushioned by a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD standard family, where the rod is free to rotate unless your tooling prevents it externally. This SKU has no magnet and uses the default PT port thread on an M5x0.8 port. We confirm dimensions, stroke tables and sizing details 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 clamp or positioner needs about 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; larger bores deliver more force, smaller bores fit tighter envelopes. This unit is double acting, so air drives the rod both out and back for reliable return strokes. The 40 mm stroke suits longer travel moves - note that multi-mount cylinders use short covers, so avoid an over-long stroke for the bore and confirm the standard stroke table from the datasheet. The body can be fixed from 6 directions and mounted side by side. If you need position sensing, the S version of this model carries the magnet. Port thread is PT on M5x0.8; a G-thread version is available. Allowable side load is not quoted here - confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
The 10 mm bore gives about 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, enough to hold small brackets or terminals in a fixture while they are welded or pressed.
Jig positioning
Fixing the square body from any of 6 directions lets the cylinder sit flush inside a jig and be banked side by side where panel space is tight.
Gate actuation on conveyors
The 40 mm stroke is suited to swinging a small gate or diverting lightweight parts on a conveyor lane, with the bumper cushioning each end of travel.
FAQ
How much force does the MD10X40 produce?
At 0.5 MPa the 10 mm double acting bore gives a theoretical push force of about 39.3 N; the pull side is lower. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). For other pressures, scale within that range or confirm from the datasheet.
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation?
Yes. The multi-mount body can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can be mounted side by side to save space. Dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm overall size from the datasheet before laying out your manifold.
