Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X10-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X10-10S 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 MKJ10X10-10S
The AirTAC MKJ is a no-rotating, adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body air cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space. This model is double acting with a 10 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range, and its no-rotating plate and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning. At 0.5 MPa the 10 mm bore gives a theoretical push thrust of 39.3 N, enough for light clamping, gating and positioning jobs, and the cushion is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating version of the multi-mount range, while the MD family is the standard type where the rod is free to turn. This SKU is listed with a magnet (trailing S), so it suits applications that detect position with a switch. We confirm overall dimensions and sizing for your stroke 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
For this bore, the theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa is 39.3 N (pull side lower), so size the 10 mm bore only for light loads and check larger bores for heavier jobs. Choose MKJ over MD when the rod must not rotate: the MK no-rotating plate and fixed rod prevent rotation, while standard MD allows it. The adjustable-stroke design adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top of the fixed 10 mm stroke; bore 10 double-acting strokes run up to 35 mm, so keep the fixed stroke short enough for the cylinder's cover.
Acting type here is double acting (single push, single pull, double rod and standard types are separate variants). This SKU carries the magnet option (S). Port thread is PT as standard, with G available on request. We can help you check side load and dimensions against the datasheet.
Applications
Jig positioning
Bolt the square body into a machining or assembly jig from whichever of the 6 mounting directions suits the fixture, and use the no-rotating rod to push parts into a fixed orientation.
Small-parts clamping
Use the 10 mm bore as a compact side-by-side clamp for light hold-down of small components, with the adjustable range fine-tuning the clamp position.
Gate and stopper action
Mount under or beside a conveyor as a stopper or gate, where the non-turning rod keeps the stop plate square to the product flow.
FAQ
What does the -10 at the end of MKJ10X10-10S mean?
It is the adjustable-stroke range. MKJ models add a 10 mm (here) adjustable range on top of the fixed stroke, so the effective stroke can be shortened within that range. The trailing S means this SKU includes a magnet, and the thread is PT by default (G available).
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation?
Yes. As a multi-mount cylinder it can be fixed from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. Keep the fixed stroke within the bore 10 table (up to 35 mm double acting) so the short cover is not overloaded; confirm side load and dimensions from the datasheet.
