Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ32X5-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ32X5-10 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 32 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 402.1 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 MKJ32X5-10
The MKJ32X5-10 is an AirTAC no-rotating multi-mount cylinder with a 32 mm bore, a very short 5 mm stroke and a 10 mm adjustable-stroke range - a compact package for short-throw jobs in tight fixtures. The square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. Double acting at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um, it produces a theoretical push thrust of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa (345.6 N pull) and cushions with a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. Like all MK models it uses a fixed rod, brass bushing and no-rotating plate so the rod cannot turn - the standard MD family is the choice where rotation is acceptable. This SKU is supplied without a magnet; the S suffix would add one. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), rated -20 to 70 C, with 1/8" PT ports on this bore. 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, not stroke, sets the force: even with just a 5 mm stroke, this 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short clamping or ejection moves. Choose MK over MD when the rod must not rotate. MKJ adds the adjustable range shown after the hyphen - here 10 mm - on top of the fixed stroke; bore 32 double acting strokes run up to 60 mm, but the short covers of this body style caution against over-long strokes, so keep the stroke short if you need full thrust in a compact envelope. Order the S suffix for a magnet and PT (default) or G thread. Route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Short-stroke eject for small parts
Fix the body through the side of a parts nest and use the 5 mm kick to push finished connectors or caps off a locating pin; the no-rotating rod keeps the ejector pin from spinning against the part.
Clamp for electronics sub-assemblies
Bolt the cylinder through its top face into a PCB or housing test fixture; the 32 mm bore's 402.1 N push holds the board flat over a tiny 5 mm clamp movement, ideal where fixture space is scarce.
Adjustable height stopper
Mount the body to a machine frame and use the 10 mm adjustable range to fine-tune the stopper face height for parts of slightly different sizes arriving on a transfer line.
FAQ
Why choose a 5 mm stroke with a 10 mm adjustable range?
The X5 stroke gives a short, precise push or clamp, while the -10 suffix adds an adjustable range on top of the fixed stroke so you can trim the end position at setup. It suits ejection, clamping and stopper jobs where a long stroke would waste space - the short covers caution against over-long strokes on this body style.
Does the short stroke reduce the thrust?
No. Thrust comes from the bore and pressure: this 32 mm bore gives a theoretical 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa in double acting form (345.6 N pull side). Stroke length affects travel, not force. For overall dimensions and allowable side load, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
