Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD16X10
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD16X10 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, push type), 16 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 70.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD16X10
The MSD16X10 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 mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision. The 16 mm bore delivers a theoretical push force of 70.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and the 10 mm stroke suits short advances such as clamping, stopping or ejecting small parts. 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 the rod must not turn. 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 16 mm bore pushes a theoretical 70.4 N at 0.5 MPa, well above the 6 and 10 mm bores and below the 20, 25 and 32 mm options. 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; double acting, double rod and adjustable-stroke variants exist in the family. Single acting strokes run up to 20 mm, and this 10 mm stroke stays within the short-cover design - avoid an over-long stroke. A trailing S 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 16 mm bore's 70.4 N push at 0.5 MPa seats clamp pads or levers onto small parts in machining and assembly nests, with a compact side-by-side fixture layout.
Gate stopper on compact conveyors
Bolt the square body through the frame from any of 6 directions and push a stopper into the part path to hold parts at a workstation.
Indexing stopper on rotary tables
Use the 10 mm push stroke to engage a locating pin that stops the table at each index position; the slim body fits tight tooling plates.
FAQ
How much force does the MSD16X10 push with?
At 0.5 MPa this single acting, push-type 16 mm bore gives a theoretical push force of 70.4 N, with operating pressure of 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). If you need more, the 20, 25 and 32 mm bores in the same family offer higher thrust - confirm the exact figure from the datasheet for the bore you choose.
Is the stroke limited on this cylinder?
Single acting multi-mount cylinders run up to 20 mm stroke, and short strokes like this 10 mm suit the compact cover design - an over-long stroke should be avoided. For exact body dimensions per stroke and side-load limits, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
