Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ6X10-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ6X10-10S 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 MKJ6X10-10S
The AirTAC MKJ6X10-10S is a no-rotating multi-mount cylinder with a 6 mm bore, a 10 mm base stroke and a 10 mm adjustable range. The compact square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. As a double acting MKJ it delivers a theoretical push thrust of 14.1 N at 0.5 MPa, and cushioning is provided by a bumper. No added lubricant is needed thanks to the high guide precision.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating version of the multi-mount range, where a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing stop the piston rod from turning; MD is the standard type that allows rotation. The trailing S on this SKU means a magnet is built in, so the SKU shows the magnet option as supplied. We confirm overall 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
Choose bore 6 for light-duty thrust: the theoretical push force is 14.1 N at 0.5 MPa, with the pull side lower. Pick MK when the rod must not rotate and MD when rotation is acceptable. This MKJ is double acting with a 10 mm stroke, and the J adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top; keep the base stroke short, since the cover design limits over-long strokes. The trailing S means the magnet is included; order the same code without S for a non-magnetic version. The air port is M5x0.8 with PT thread, and G thread is available. Operating pressure at this bore is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). Route side-load questions to us before applying off-center loads.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
Clamps small brackets or boards in assembly fixtures. The 6 mm bore gives a light 14.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, and the no-rotating rod keeps the clamp pad flat against the part.
Pick-and-place transfer
Slides a suction plate or gripper sideways between pick and place points. Six-direction fixing lets the body bolt wherever the cell layout demands, and the rod holds orientation.
Gate stopper on a conveyor
Raises a small stopper gate to hold or release tiny parts on a conveyor line. The compact square body mounts side by side with neighboring cylinders in tight frames.
FAQ
What does the code MKJ6X10-10S decode to?
MKJ is the no-rotating, adjustable-stroke member of the MK multi-mount family, double acting. The bore is 6 mm, the base stroke is 10 mm, the -10 adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top, and the trailing S means the cylinder includes a magnet. The port is M5x0.8 with PT thread.
Where does the no-rotating feature actually help?
Because a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing stop the piston rod from turning, the attached fixture keeps its orientation through every stroke. That matters for flat clamp pads, stopper gates and pick-and-place plates where a twisted rod would misalign the part.
