Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X35-20
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X35-20 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 MKJ10X35-20
The MKJ10X35-20 is a genuine AirTAC adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder with a compact square body that fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so several units can be mounted side by side to save space. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body, and the 10 mm bore provides a theoretical push thrust of 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa in double-acting operation, ideal for light clamping, gating and positioning work. Cushioning is a bumper, and the 35 mm stroke with a 20 mm adjustable range gives wide latitude for dialing in the end position.
This MK-family cylinder is no-rotating: a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing prevent the piston rod from turning, keeping the load orientation stable. As an MKJ variant it is double acting with an adjustable stroke, and this SKU is supplied without the magnet - the body slots remain available if you add switching later. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread; operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa on filtered air with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure. Dimensions and sizing are confirmed 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
Size the bore by thrust: this 10 mm bore yields 39.3 N push and 33.0 N pull at 0.5 MPa in double-acting operation; step up a bore if you need more force. MK prevents rod rotation, while the standard MD family is the choice when rotation is acceptable. Acting choices span double (MK), single push (MSK), single pull (MTK), double rod (MKD) and adjustable stroke (MKJ).
The 35 mm stroke is the maximum listed for a 10 mm double-acting bore, and this MKJ adds a 20 mm adjustable range on top of it. Bear in mind the short cover on small bores, so avoid pushing for an over-long stroke and check suitability with us if you need more travel. The magnet is optional via the S suffix (not fitted here), and thread is PT or G.
Applications
Sorting diverter gate
Mount the compact body under or beside a conveyor to drive a diverter or kick-off gate; the no-rotating rod keeps the gate aligned, and the 20 mm adjustable range lets you tune the divert angle travel on a 35 mm stroke.
Jig positioning pin
Fix the body from the top plate of an assembly jig to advance a locating pin into a part hole; the 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa is ample for light positioning, and the adjustable stroke absorbs fixture tolerance.
Side-by-side multi-clamp row
Line several cylinders along a narrow fixture rail to clamp light workpieces simultaneously; the square body mounts from 6 directions and stacks flush, saving space over round tie-rod cylinders.
FAQ
This SKU has no S suffix - what does that mean for the MKJ10X35-20?
The trailing S marks the built-in magnet, so without it this cylinder is supplied without a magnet. The magnetic-switch slots around the body are still there, so you can specify the S version instead if you later want switch detection. Magnet presence is purely a suffix choice; it does not change the 35 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment or pressure rating.
What should I watch when the 35 mm stroke is at the top of the bore's range?
For a 10 mm double-acting multi-mount cylinder, 35 mm is the maximum listed stroke, and the MKJ adds up to 20 mm of adjustment on top. Because the body has a short cover, an over-long stroke is best avoided, so confirm the application and any side-load requirement with us, and take exact dimensions from the datasheet.
