Airtac MK Series Multi-position Locking Cylinder MK10X30
The AirTAC Airtac MK Series Multi-position Locking Cylinder MK10X30 is a genuine MK 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. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MK Series Multi-position Locking Cylinder MK10X30
The AirTAC MK10X30 is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and can be mounted side by side to save space. In double acting form with a 10 mm bore, it gives a theoretical push thrust of 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa, and the 30 mm stroke suits short-travel jobs such as ejecting or stopping small parts. Cushioning is a bumper, and magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MK family, where a fixed rod and no-rotating plate stop the piston rod turning - the no-rotating counterpart to the standard MD series. This model code has no trailing S, so the SKU is supplied without a magnet; a magnet-equipped version is listed separately. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um. 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
The 10 mm bore delivers about 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa in double acting form; step up a bore size if you need more thrust. MK over MD is the choice when the rod must not rotate, for example driving a slotted or asymmetric tooling piece. The 30 mm stroke fits within the bore 10 double acting table, which runs up to 35 mm; stay with short travels on this compact body and check side-load capability with us. This SKU has no magnet, and it uses a PT thread - a G-thread, magnet-equipped variant is available.
Applications
Pick-and-place assistance
Push or release small parts at a pick point. The no-rotating rod keeps any attached blade or finger aligned stroke after stroke.
Rotary indexing
Advance parts one pocket at a time on a small indexing dial. The 30 mm stroke matches a single pitch, and side-by-side bodies fit tight dial plates.
Line stopper
Act as a stopper or gate on a light assembly line. Six-direction fixing means the body can be bolted from whichever face the frame allows.
FAQ
When should I pick the MK10X30 instead of an MD cylinder?
Pick MK when the rod must not turn. The MK family adds a fixed rod and no-rotating plate so the piston rod cannot rotate, which matters when driving slotted or asymmetric attachments. An MD cylinder of the same bore allows rotation and gives the same 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Is a 30 mm stroke sensible on this body?
Yes. The bore 10 double acting table runs up to 35 mm, so 30 mm fits. That said, this is a short-cover compact cylinder, so avoid stretching toward the maximum unless the datasheet confirms it suits your layout, and route side-load questions to us.
