Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X5
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD10X5 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 MD10X5
The MD10X5 is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder with a 10 mm bore and a short 5 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. The 5 mm stroke makes this SKU a natural fit for tiny eject, present or confirm moves. It has no magnet and uses the default PT port thread on an M5x0.8 port. 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
Choose the 10 mm bore when your application needs about 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa from a very compact envelope. This unit is double acting, so air drives the rod both out and back. The 5 mm stroke is ideal for short confirm, eject or present moves; note the short covers mean an over-long stroke should be avoided, and other stroke lengths are available within the bore's table. 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 provides about 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa for a quick, short clamp on tiny components in a compact fixture.
Part presentation
The 5 mm stroke is ideal for nudging a small part into a nest or present position on an automation line where travel is minimal.
Fixture confirm/eject moves
Use the short stroke to eject a finished part or confirm seating in a jig, fixing the square body from any of 6 directions to fit the tightest spots.
FAQ
Why would I choose the 5 mm stroke version?
The 5 mm stroke suits very short moves such as part presentation, ejection or seat-confirmation, while the 10 mm bore still delivers about 39.3 N of theoretical push at 0.5 MPa. Longer strokes are available within the bore's stroke table - confirm the standard table from the datasheet.
What should I check before designing this cylinder into a fixture?
The multi-mount body fixes from 6 directions and mounts side by side to save space, but overall dimensions vary with stroke and the short covers mean an over-long stroke should be avoided. Allowable side load is not quoted here - confirm both from the datasheet or ask us.
