Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD10X5S
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD10X5S 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 MSD10X5S
The MSD10X5S is a single acting, push-type multi-mount cylinder from AirTAC's MD family, fitted with a magnet as the SKU shows. The compact square body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units mount 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 tiny advances such as ejecting or seating a small part. 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. The trailing S means this SKU carries the magnet option, so a switch in the body slots can signal rod position. 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; move to the 16, 20, 25 or 32 mm bores for more force. Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable and MK if it must be prevented. MSD is single acting, push type, running 50-500 mm/s. Single acting strokes run up to 20 mm, and this 5 mm stroke suits the family's short-cover design - avoid an over-long stroke. The trailing S adds the magnet; without it, order MSD10X5. Thread is PT by default with G available. Side-load limits come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Part ejection from chutes
The short push stroke knocks small finished parts off a chute or nest, while the magnet lets a slot-mounted switch confirm the rod has extended.
Small-parts clamping with signal
Seat a pad onto light clamps and stops with the 10 mm bore's 15.8 N push at 0.5 MPa, and use the magnet for clamped-position feedback.
Gate stopper on compact conveyors
Fixed through the frame from any of 6 directions, the cylinder pushes a stopper into the part path; side-by-side mounting keeps the station compact.
FAQ
What does the S in MSD10X5S mean?
The trailing S means this single acting, push-type multi-mount cylinder is supplied with a magnet, so a switch fitted in the body's slots can detect rod position. MSD10X5 without the S is the same cylinder without a magnet. The bore is 10 mm and the stroke 5 mm.
Can I mount it from any side of my machine?
Yes - the square body fixes from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. That lets units sit side by side to save space. Cushioning is a bumper, and exact dimensions and side-load limits come from the datasheet, which we can confirm on request.
