Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X30-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X30-10 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 MKJ10X30-10
The MKJ10X30-10 is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder with a compact square body that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space. This adjustable-stroke, no-rotating version has a 10 mm bore and 30 mm base stroke, plus an extra 10 mm adjustable range for fine setting of the end position. As a double acting cylinder it delivers a theoretical push force of about 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa, and its cushioning is provided by a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family differs from the standard MD family in that a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning, which suits tasks where the rod must not rotate. This SKU carries no magnet, exactly as the code shows. We can 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
Choose the bore for the thrust you need: at 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore gives a theoretical push of 39.3 N and a lower pull figure, so it suits light clamping and positioning rather than heavy pressing. MKJ is the right pick when rotation must be prevented and the stroke needs tuning; MD variants allow the standard rod behaviour instead. The 30 mm stroke sits within the 35 mm limit for a double acting 10 mm bore, and the MKJ adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top. Note the compact body is not designed for an over-long stroke; keep strokes within the bore's table. This code has no magnet (add S for one) and a PT thread, with G available. Side load capability is not stated here - confirm from the datasheet with us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Fix the body from any of 6 directions to clamp small components against a fixture, with the no-rotating rod keeping the contact pad orientation stable on every cycle.
Gate stopper on a light conveyor
Mount side by side along a line and raise a stopper plate to halt small parts or totes; the bumper cushion softens the stop and the adjustable range lets you set the up-position precisely.
Pick-and-place indexing
Use the compact envelope to slide parts a short, repeatable distance between nests where rod rotation would misalign the gripper, with magnetic-switch slots around the body for end-position sensing.
FAQ
What does the code MKJ10X30-10 actually specify?
MKJ is the AirTAC adjustable-stroke, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 10 is the 10 mm bore, 30 is the base stroke in mm, and -10 adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top of that stroke. There is no trailing S, so this SKU is without a magnet, and no G, so the port thread is PT.
Can I use the full stroke if my space is tight?
Stay within the bore's stroke table - for a double acting 10 mm bore the catalogue limit is 35 mm, and this model's 30 mm plus the 10 mm adjustable range sits inside it. The compact square body is not intended for an over-long stroke, and overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm the exact envelope from the datasheet before laying out your mounting.
