Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X10-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X10-10 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 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 MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X10-10
The MKJ10X10-10 is an adjustable-stroke, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder from AirTAC's MK family: a compact square-body, double-acting unit fixable from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so cylinders mount side by side to save space. It has a 10 mm base stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range, and the no-rotating design keeps the rod from turning. Theoretical thrust is about 39.3 N on the push side at 0.5 MPa (33.0 N on the rod side), with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and cushioning by bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MK-family cylinders stop rod rotation with a fixed rod and no-rotating plate; the MD family is the standard version where rotation is not prevented. This SKU carries no position magnet (no S suffix). Because overall dimensions are per stroke and adjustment setting, 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
Bore drives thrust: at 10 mm this double-acting MKJ gives about 39.3 N push (33.0 N rod side) at 0.5 MPa, with operating pressure of 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) for a bore 10 MK. The J code means adjustable stroke: base stroke 10 mm plus a 10 mm adjustable range (20 mm and 30 mm ranges are the other options). Strokes for bore 10 run up to 35 mm, and the short covers suit modest strokes - avoid specifying more travel than the job needs. Choose MKJ/MK when rotation must be prevented, MD variants when it may rotate. No S means no magnet on this SKU; thread is PT default with G available. Side-load figures come from the datasheet.
Applications
Indexing plunger on a rotary table
The adjustable stroke lets you tune the plunge depth so the no-rotating pin seats into each index hole of a small dial plate without overshoot.
Part-present clamping toggle
A compact push of up to about 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa clamps or releases a small workpiece in a machining or assembly nest, with the rod held square by the no-rotating plate.
Pick-and-place Z-drop
Side-by-side multi-mount bodies let several cylinders sit under a small gantry, giving short vertical push moves with no rod twist on the gripped part.
FAQ
How does the adjustable stroke in MKJ10X10-10 work?
The J suffix marks the adjustable-stroke variant: the 10 mm base stroke can be shortened within the extra 10 mm adjustable range called out in the code (10, 20 or 30 mm ranges are offered). You set the effective travel mechanically rather than ordering a new cylinder, which is useful when a fixture's stop position may need trimming.
Why choose a no-rotating MKJ over a standard MD cylinder?
In the MK family a fixed rod and no-rotating plate stop the piston rod from turning, so attached tooling such as pins, blades or plates stays square through every stroke - an MD cylinder does not prevent rod rotation. Note that allowable side-load and per-stroke dimensions are datasheet figures, so confirm them with us before finalising the design.
