Airtac MKD Multi-position Clamping Cylinder MKD20X10S

The MKD20X10S is a genuine AirTAC double-rod multi-mount cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. Its compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. The double-rod design carries a rod on both ends, and the no-rotating plate stops the rod from turning, so a 10 mm stroke suits short-throw, orientation-critical work. At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore delivers a theoretical push thrust of 157.1 N (131.9 N on the pull side), cushioning is a bumper, and this SKU carries a magnet for magnetic-switch position sensing. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), from -20 to 70 C.

This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MK family - a no-rotating cylinder where a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing prevent rod rotation, unlike the standard MD family where rotation is allowed. The trailing S in the model code means this unit is fitted with a magnet; the S is optional, not a standard fitting on every model. Typical materials include an aluminium-alloy body, a stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals; we confirm exact dimensions and sizing from the datasheet on request.

Choose the bore for thrust: this 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa (131.9 N pull side). MK is the no-rotating choice when the rod must not turn; standard MD suits applications where rotation is acceptable. This is a double-rod, double acting unit that works from both ends. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 60 mm maximum for bore 20, but the short cover cautions against over-long strokes - verify the practical range on the datasheet. The S suffix means this SKU includes a magnet for switch sensing; drop the S if you do not need it. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread (G available).
