Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ6X5-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ6X5-10S 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 MKJ6X5-10S
The AirTAC MKJ series is a compact multi-mount cylinder: a square body that can be fixed from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision that runs without added lubricant. This MKJ6X5-10S is the no-rotating, adjustable-stroke, double acting version with a 6 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range. At 0.5 MPa it gives a theoretical push force of 14.1 N, it runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and its cushion is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MK is the no-rotating family: a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod (typical construction) stop the piston rod from turning, unlike the standard MD family. As the SKU shows, this model carries a built-in magnet, and it uses a PT thread with an M5x0.8 port. We can confirm exact dimensions and sizing from the AirTAC 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 for thrust: at 0.5 MPa a 6 mm bore delivers 14.1 N on the push side and 10.6 N on the pull side in double acting use. Choose MK when the rod must not rotate; the standard MD family suits jobs where rotation is acceptable. Other acting options are single acting push (MSK), single acting pull (MTK) and double rod (MKD). Bore 6 double-acting strokes run up to 35 mm, and the MKJ design here pairs a 5 mm fixed stroke with a 10 mm adjustable range added on top. The covers are short, so avoid an over-long stroke and confirm lengths from the datasheet; route side-load questions to us. The trailing S adds the magnet for switch sensing, and the thread is PT as standard with G available.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
Clamping tiny machined fittings during a secondary operation, with the built-in magnet letting switches confirm the clamp is closed.
Lab pick-and-place
Moving sample vials between deck positions on a compact benchtop analyser, where the rod must not rotate the vial as it lifts.
Rotary indexing
Advancing parts one station at a time on a small rotary indexing table, with cylinders mounted side by side to save panel space.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MKJ6X5-10S mean?
S means a magnet is built into the piston, so magnetic switches can sense piston position in the slots around the square body. The same cylinder ordered as MKJ6X5-10, without the S, has no magnet. Magnet is an option on the MD/MK range, never a default, so order the suffix your circuit needs.
Can these cylinders be mounted side by side?
Yes. The square body fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and cylinders mount side by side to save space. Exact body dimensions per stroke and any allowable side-load limit come from the datasheet, so confirm those with us before laying out the manifold.
