Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X30-30
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X30-30 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 MKJ10X30-30
The MKJ10X30-30 is an AirTAC MK-family multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator you can fix from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mount side by side with neighbours to save panel space. Magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body, guide precision is high, and no added lubricant is needed. This unit is double acting, no-rotating, with a 10 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke that carries an extra 30 mm of adjustable stroke, so the effective stroke can be fine-trimmed in place. At 0.5 MPa the bore-10 push side gives about 39.3 N of theoretical thrust, and cushioning is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family prevents rod rotation with a fixed rod, no-rotating plate and brass bushing, while the MD family is the standard version that allows rotation - choose MK when the load must not turn. This SKU carries no magnet, exactly as the code shows (no trailing S). Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) for this bore, the medium is air filtered to 40 um, and temperature range is -20 to 70 C (0-150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material). 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
Bore sets thrust: this 10 mm bore delivers about 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa (double acting), so step up a bore size if your work needs more force. MK is the no-rotating family - rod rotation is prevented - while MD is the standard family where rotation is allowed. Acting type: this is a double-acting MKJ adjustable-stroke unit; single-acting push (MSK) and pull (MTK), double-rod (MKD) and standard (MK) variants also exist. The 30 mm stroke sits inside the bore-10 double-acting table (up to 35 mm), and the J variant adds 10, 20 or 30 mm of adjustable range on top - this SKU adds 30 mm. Keep the stroke short relative to the cover: an over-long stroke on a compact body is a common mis-selection. No magnet on this SKU; add the S suffix if you need switch sensing. Thread is PT (G is available). Side-load capacity is not quoted here - ask us and we will check the datasheet.
Applications
Pick-and-place eject
Drive a compact eject or present stroke under a pick head where the load must stay oriented; the no-rotating rod and 6-direction fixing suit tight z-axis pockets.
Indexing fixture advance
Advance parts one station at a time in a rotary or linear indexer, with the adjustable range set so the index position can be tuned without re-machining the fixture.
Compact press fit
Apply light press force to seat small bearings or pins; several bore-10 units mount side by side on one plate to multiply throughput in a small footprint.
FAQ
Should I choose the MK family or the MD family here?
Choose MK (this cylinder) when the load must not rotate: a fixed rod, no-rotating plate and brass bushing stop the rod turning. The MD family is the standard multi-mount where rod rotation is allowed. Both fix from 6 directions and mount side by side; acting type and bore are then matched to the thrust you need.
The stroke is adjustable - what are the limits?
The J variant adds 10, 20 or 30 mm of adjustable range on top of the base stroke, and the base 30 mm sits within the bore-10 double-acting stroke table (up to 35 mm). The compact cover means the stroke should stay proportionate to the body - do not over-stroke. Exact dimensions, adjustable-range detail and side-load limits come from the datasheet, which we confirm on request.
