Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD10X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD10X10S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, push type), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 15.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD10X10S
The MSD10X10S is an AirTAC MSD-series multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body, single acting push-type cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space. With a 10 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke it gives a theoretical push force of about 15.8 N at 0.5 MPa and returns by spring, ideal for short push, clamp or eject motions in cramped layouts. Cushioning is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MSD family is the standard multi-mount body (the MK family adds no-rotating function). The trailing S in this SKU means a magnet is fitted for position sensing; the port thread is PT. Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm exact 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
Pick the bore for thrust: at 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore pushes with a theoretical 15.8 N in single acting form. MD is the standard body where rod rotation is acceptable; MK prevents rotation. This unit is single acting push (spring return); double acting, single pull, double rod and adjustable-stroke variants also exist. Single acting strokes run up to 20 mm, so 10 mm keeps the body compact - avoid over-long strokes. The trailing S means the magnet is fitted on this SKU (order the version without S if you do not need sensing); thread is PT, with G available. Side-load ratings and exact dimensions come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Fix the square body from the top or side of a compact fixture and use the 10 mm push stroke to hold small workpieces during assembly or inspection.
Jig positioning with sensing
The built-in magnet lets a switch confirm the clamped position on a small jig, while the 6-way body fixing lets you orient the cylinder exactly where the jig needs it.
Gate and stopper duty
Bolt the cylinder from the bottom of a compact slide or gate bracket; the spring-return push stroke raises a stopper pin or trip gate, with position feedback from the magnet.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MSD10X10S mean?
The trailing S means this SKU is fitted with a magnet, so external magnetic switches can detect rod position. Without the S (as in MSD10X10) the cylinder has no magnet. The rest decodes the same: MSD single acting push type, 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT port thread.
How do I mount this cylinder in a compact fixture?
The square body can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can be placed side by side to save space. Keep strokes short relative to the covers and confirm exact dimensions and side-load limits from the datasheet before designing the mount.
