Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X20-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X20-10 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 MKJ10X20-10
The MKJ10X20-10 is an AirTAC MKJ no-rotating multi-mount cylinder with a compact square body that can be fixed from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. Bodies sit side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision without added lubrication. This double-acting model has a 10 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, and the J suffix adds a 10 mm adjustable-stroke range on top. At 0.5 MPa it produces a theoretical push thrust of 39.3 N, adequate for light clamping, positioning and stopping tasks, and the cushion is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family stops rod rotation with a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod, unlike the standard MD family where the rod may turn. This SKU carries no magnet. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), the medium is air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature is -20 to 70 C (0 to 150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material), and the port thread is PT. We 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
Pick the 10 mm bore when about 39.3 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa covers the load; bigger bores push harder, smaller ones less. Choose MKJ over MD when the rod or plate must not rotate, and the J version when you want a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range added to the 20 mm stroke; here it is 10 mm. This is a double-acting cylinder. This SKU has no magnet (add the S suffix for one) and a PT thread, with G offered. Keep the stroke within the bore's table to respect the short body cover, and route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Line gate actuator
Opens or closes a small diverting gate with a rod that stays rotationally fixed, bolting the compact body to the frame from any of 6 faces.
Indexing fixture
Advances parts one station at a time in an indexing fixture, with the adjustable range dialing in the exact index distance.
Ejector in a tight assembly machine
Ejects finished small parts from a nest where space is minimal, using side-by-side cylinder mounting and a non-rotating push plate.
FAQ
How do I choose between MKJ10X20-10 and a standard MK10?
Both are double-acting 10 mm no-rotating cylinders with the same theoretical push thrust of 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The MKJ version adds a 10 mm adjustable-stroke range on top of the 20 mm base stroke, so it suits jobs where the end position must be tuned. Choose standard MK for a fixed stroke.
Where can I confirm dimensions and side-load limits?
Overall dimensions change with stroke and are given per model in the AirTAC datasheet, and side-load limits are datasheet values rather than general figures. We confirm both from the datasheet on request, and we also advise keeping strokes within the bore's table because of the short body cover.
