Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X5-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ10X5-10 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 MKJ10X5-10
The MKJ10X5-10 is a short-stroke, adjustable, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder in AirTAC's MK family. The compact square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so cylinders mount side by side to save space, with switch slots around the body and high guide precision with no added lubricant. The 10mm double-acting bore produces 39.3 N theoretical push (33.0 N pull) at 0.5 MPa, works on 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, and cushions through a bumper. The 5mm base stroke carries a 10mm adjustable range for fine setup.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family prevents rod rotation via a fixed rod, no-rotating plate and brass bushing (typical construction - bore detail in the datasheet), whereas the MD family is the standard type that allows rotation. This SKU has no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet; choose an -S code if you need one. Overall 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
The 10mm bore suits short moves needing up to 39.3 N push or 33.0 N pull at 0.5 MPa; step up a bore for more thrust. MKJ is the adjustable-stroke, no-rotating variant - double acting, with a 10, 20 or 30mm adjustable range over the base stroke. This model pairs a 5mm base stroke with a 10mm adjustment, ideal where travel must be trimmed in place; the short cover cautions against over-long strokes, and side-load limits come from the datasheet. No S in the code means no magnet is fitted, and the thread is PT as standard or G when ordered with G.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Mounted on the side of a machining or assembly jig, the non-turning rod drives a clamp pad straight down onto a small part. The 5mm stroke with 10mm adjustment is tuned once to the part height and holds with 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa.
Jig positioning pin
In a drill or weld jig, the cylinder extends a locating pin that must enter the workpiece square - the no-rotating plate guarantees pin orientation, and 6-direction fixing lets it be bolted wherever the fixture layout allows.
Lift-and-locate riser
Fitted under a light carrier plate, the short-stroke unit raises a part a few millimetres to clear a locating edge. Bumper cushioning protects the small lift, and the bumper-stopped return keeps the cycle smooth.
FAQ
How do I read the stroke figures in MKJ10X5-10?
The 5 after the X is the base stroke in millimetres and the -10 is the adjustable range, so effective travel is set anywhere within 5mm plus 10mm of adjustment. There is no trailing S, so this cylinder is supplied without a magnet; add S to the code for the magnet version. Thread is PT by default, or G on request.
Can I use a long stroke on this compact body?
No - the short cover on this cylinder family cautions against over-long strokes. Double-acting bore-10 strokes run to 35mm, and this model is intended for short, adjustable moves. Overall dimensions and allowable side-load vary with bore and stroke, so confirm both from the datasheet before fixing the mounting.
