Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD10X5
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD10X5 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 MSD10X5
The MSD10X5 is a single acting, push-type multi-mount cylinder from AirTAC's MD family. Its compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision. The 10 mm bore gives a theoretical push force of 15.8 N at 0.5 MPa, and the short 5 mm stroke suits very small advances such as seating a pad or tripping a lever. Cushioning is a bumper, the medium is air filtered to 40 um, and speed is 50-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MSD is the single acting, push-type variant of the standard MD multi-mount family; the MK family is the no-rotating counterpart if your job needs the rod held from turning. This SKU is shown without a magnet. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with an M5x0.8 port and PT thread. We confirm exact 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
Pick the bore for thrust: this 10 mm bore pushes a theoretical 15.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 16, 20, 25 and 32 mm bores give more and the 6 mm bore less. Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable and MK if it must be prevented. MSD is single acting, push type; double acting, double rod and adjustable-stroke variants are available in the same family. Single acting strokes run up to 20 mm, and this 5 mm stroke fits the family's short-cover design - avoid an over-long stroke. A trailing S on a related SKU adds a magnet; thread is PT by default with G available. Side-load limits come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
The 5 mm stroke is enough to seat a pad or lever onto small parts held in a nest, with the 10 mm bore's 15.8 N push at 0.5 MPa suiting light clamping jobs.
Gate stopper on compact conveyors
Bolted through the conveyor frame, the cylinder pushes a stopper pin into the part path; the square body fixes from 6 directions for tidy, side-by-side packing.
Jig positioning pin
Use the short push stroke to advance a locating pin into a jig hole on small assembly fixtures, mounting the body top, side or bottom as the fixture allows.
FAQ
What does MSD10X5 mean?
MSD is AirTAC's single acting, push-type variant of the MD multi-mount cylinder, 10 is the bore in mm and 5 the stroke in mm. No trailing S means this SKU is without a magnet, and the blank thread position means PT; G is available as an option.
Where can I mount this cylinder?
The square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so you can bolt it wherever the machine allows and place units side by side to save space. Cushioning is a bumper; exact dimensions and side-load limits come from the datasheet, which we can confirm for you.
