Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD6X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD6X10S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double rod), 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 MDD Multi-position Double Rod Cylinder MDD6X10S
The MDD6X10S is an AirTAC MD-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body, double-acting, double-rod unit you can fix from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mount side by side to save space. The 6 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke suits short, light-duty strokes; at 0.5 MPa the bore delivers a theoretical 14.1 N push and 10.6 N pull through each rod, and the cushion is a bumper. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body, so the built-in magnet on this SKU lets a switch detect piston position without added lubricant being needed.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD family (the MK family is the no-rotating version). The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet. 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 6 mm bore when your job needs only about 14.1 N of push (10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa); larger MD/MDD bores give more thrust. The MD family is the standard type where rod rotation is allowed; pick MK to prevent rotation. This MDD double-rod unit is double acting. Strokes for 6 mm bore double-acting units run up to 35 mm, so the 10 mm stroke is comfortably inside the table; the short cover is a reason not to over-specify stroke. This SKU has the magnet (S suffix) for position-detection switches, and a PT thread; G is available.
Applications
End-position sensing
The built-in magnet pairs with the body's switch slots to confirm extend and retract on a small clamp or gate, with the cylinder bolted in from any of 6 directions.
Small-parts clamp
Clamp tiny components in a fixture using the compact 6 mm bore; the square body mounts side by side where a tie-rod cylinder will not fit.
Slide or gate signal
Use the double-rod body on a small slide or gate where the magnet signals stroke position, keeping the footprint minimal on a densely packed panel.
FAQ
Does the MDD6X10S include a magnet, and how do I know?
Yes. On AirTAC MD/MK codes, a trailing S means the cylinder is supplied with a magnet, so MDD6X10S is magnetic. The same code without the S (MDD6X10) would be without a magnet. The magnet is an option on this series, not a standard feature of every unit.
How short should my stroke be on a 6 mm bore unit?
The 6 mm bore double-acting range runs up to 35 mm, and the 10 mm stroke here sits well inside it. The short cover design is a reason to avoid an over-long stroke on this series; for exact dimensions at a given stroke or side-load figures, confirm from the datasheet.
