Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ6X10-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ6X10-10 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 6 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 14.1 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 MKJ6X10-10
The MKJ6X10-10 is the compact end of AirTAC's MK no-rotating multi-mount range: a bore-6 cylinder with a 10 mm stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable-stroke range. Its square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units mount side by side in tightly packed assemblies, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. Double acting with a bumper cushion, it produces a theoretical 14.1 N push (10.6 N pull) at 0.5 MPa over a 30-500 mm/s speed range on air filtered to 40 um.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK no-rotating design adds a plate, brass bushing and fixed rod so the piston rod cannot turn, unlike the standard MD series where rotation is allowed. The SKU has no S suffix, so this unit is supplied without a magnet. We confirm dimensions and bore-specific detail 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 6 mm bore suits light-duty work: 14.1 N push or 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with operating pressure of 0.2-1.0 MPa. This MKJ variant is double acting with an adjustable stroke - the -10 suffix adds a 10 mm adjustment on top of the 10 mm base stroke, and bore-6 strokes run up to 35 mm in the table. Choose MK over MD when the rod must not rotate. Magnet is optional via the S suffix and this SKU is supplied without one; the port is M5x0.8 with a PT thread as standard, G optional. The short cover cautions against over-long strokes, and side-load figures come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Micro clamp in PCB test fixtures
The tiny 6 mm body bolts side by side between test points on electronics fixtures, clamping small boards with light, controlled force and no rod rotation.
Pick-and-place of small connectors
Mounted under a miniature pick plate, the non-rotating rod keeps connector orientation fixed during short transfer moves on compact automation cells.
Fine stopper on a micro conveyor
Fixed from the side or top of a miniature belt, the adjustable 10 mm range sets exact stop positions for small vials, caps or components without the plunger spinning.
FAQ
How much force does the 6 mm bore of the MKJ6X10-10 produce, and can I add a magnet?
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical output is 14.1 N on the push stroke and 10.6 N on the pull stroke, with an operating pressure of 0.2-1.0 MPa. A magnet is optional: the S suffix in the model code adds one, and this SKU, with no S, is supplied without. Contact us if you need the magnet-equipped version.
How far can I adjust the stroke, and is there a limit on stroke length?
The -10 suffix gives a 10 mm adjustable range on top of the 10 mm base stroke. Bore-6 double acting cylinders run up to 35 mm in the stroke table, but the compact cover design cautions against over-long strokes, so confirm your target stroke against the datasheet - we will check it with you before ordering.
