Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X15-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X15-10S 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 MKJ10X15-10S
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, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. This model is double acting with a 10 mm bore, a 15 mm stroke and 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 produces a theoretical push thrust of 39.3 N, and the cushion is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MK is the no-rotating multi-mount family; the standard MD family allows the rod to turn. This SKU is listed with a magnet (trailing S), so position detection is supported. We confirm dimensions for this stroke and any sizing details 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 the 10 mm bore, the theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa is 39.3 N with the pull side lower, so keep this bore to light-duty forces or step up a bore size. MKJ differs from standard MD by preventing rod rotation through the no-rotating plate and fixed rod, which matters when the output must stay aligned. The adjustable-stroke design adds a 10 mm range on top of the 15 mm fixed stroke; bore 10 double-acting strokes run up to 35 mm, so do not stretch beyond the short cover's design.
Acting type is double acting here, with single push, single pull and double rod as separate variants. This SKU includes the magnet option (S). Thread is PT as standard, with G available on request; we can review side load and dimensions from the datasheet with you.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Clamp light small components in fixtures, mounting several cylinders side by side and using the no-rotating rod so clamp pads stay square to the part.
Compact test fixtures
Build a bench-top test or inspection station where the cylinder must fit from the top or side of a tight fixture and the adjustable range sets contact depth.
Rotary-index detection and stop
Use the non-turning rod as a positive stop or sensor-actuated stopper on an indexing dial, with the magnet enabling end-position confirmation.
FAQ
What does MKJ10X15-10S give me over a fixed-stroke cylinder?
The J suffix means adjustable stroke: this model has a 15 mm fixed stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range, letting you shorten the effective stroke at setup. The S means it ships with a magnet for switch detection, the thread is PT (G available), and it is double acting with the MK no-rotating feature.
What should I watch when specifying the stroke?
Bore 10 double-acting strokes run up to 35 mm, and the adjustable range works on top of the fixed stroke, but the multi-mount body has a short cover, so avoid over-long strokes that the design is not intended for. Dimensions vary with stroke and side load limits come from the datasheet, so confirm both with us before ordering.
