Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD6X10
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD6X10 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 6 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 14.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD6X10
The MD6X10 is a double acting multi-mount cylinder with a 6 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke. Multi-mount bodies fix from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mount side by side, so tight little stations stay compact. At 0.5 MPa the 6 mm bore gives about 14.1 N of push-side thrust (10.6 N pulling), right for light ejection, locating and tiny part handling, with a bumper for cushioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, so the rod is free to rotate; only the MK family prevents rotation. As coded, this SKU carries no magnet; add the S suffix if you need switch detection, with switch slots already machined around the body. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa through M5x0.8 ports; 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
Pick the bore for thrust: at 0.5 MPa a 6 mm bore pushes about 14.1 N (10.6 N pulling), the light-duty end of this series; step up to 10 mm (39.3 N) or 16 mm (100.5 N) for more force. MD lets the rod rotate; MK prevents rotation with a fixed rod and plate. Acting choices: double acting, single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) or adjustable stroke (MDJ). The stroke table allows up to 35 mm on a bore 6, so this 10 mm stroke sits well inside it. This SKU has no magnet; add S for one. Ports are M5x0.8, PT thread default or G. Keep strokes short to suit the covers; route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Micro Part Ejector
Fixed from the front of a small die or nest, the cylinder ejects tiny stamped parts; the 6 mm bore's 14.1 N push at 0.5 MPa handles light ejection jobs.
Jig Locating Pin
Side-mounted in a test jig, the short 10 mm stroke advances a locating pin to seat PCBs or small assemblies before probing or inspection.
Tiny Clamp Action
Top-mounted over a micro fixture, the cylinder clamps small connectors or sensors in place during glue dispensing or vision checks.
FAQ
How much force does the MD6X10 deliver?
At 0.5 MPa the 6 mm bore gives a theoretical push of about 14.1 N and 10.6 N on the pull side. For heavier clamping, step up to a 10 mm or 16 mm bore; operating pressure stays 0.15-1.0 MPa across the MD family.
What does multi-mount fixing actually buy me on a cylinder this small?
The square body fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side, so tiny stations stay compact with no extra brackets. Keep strokes short to match the covers, and route side-load limits and exact dimensions to the datasheet.
