Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD16X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD16X10S 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 MSD16X10S
The AirTAC MSD16X10S is a single-acting push-type multi-mount cylinder in the MD family: a compact square-body air cylinder you can fix from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mount side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body. The 16 mm bore delivers a theoretical push force of about 70.4 N at 0.5 MPa, enough for small-parts clamping, light gate actions and short-stroke positioning, and the 10 mm stroke suits tight, quick push jobs. Cushioning is a bumper, and the air supply should be filtered to 40 um.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MSD means single acting, push type - air extends the rod - unlike the standard double-acting MD or the no-rotating MK family, and the trailing S shows this SKU carries the magnet. It operates on 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) at -20 to 70 C, with G-thread versions available as an option. We confirm exact dimensions and sizing help 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
Start with the bore: this 16 mm bore gives roughly 70.4 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, so size it against your clamp or push load before fixing the stroke. Choose MD if rod rotation does not matter and MK if the rod must not turn; this MSD is the push-type single-acting MD variant. Single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm, so 10 mm sits comfortably in range - keep the stroke short, as the compact cover design is not intended for over-long strokes. Pick the magnet with the trailing S (as here), and thread PT (default) or G.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Bolt the square body into a fixture from whichever of the six faces lines up with the part, and use the 70.4 N push at 0.5 MPa to hold small components during a light machining or assembly step.
Gate or stopper action
Mount cylinders side by side along a line to drive short 10 mm push strokes that actuate slides, gates or part stoppers without needing a separate mounting bracket per axis.
Jig push positioning
Fix the body through the top or bottom face inside a jig and use the magnet, read by switches in the body slots, to confirm the rod has fully extended to index the workpiece.
FAQ
What does MSD16X10S decode to?
MSD is the single-acting, push-type variant of the MD multi-mount family, 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, with magnet (the trailing S) and PT thread (no G suffix). Push type means air extends the rod. Air supply is filtered to 40 um, operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and the theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is about 70.4 N.
How many ways can I mount this cylinder?
The square body can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units mount side by side to save space. Because the covers are compact, avoid requesting an over-long stroke; single-acting strokes in this bore run up to 20 mm. For side-load figures and exact per-stroke dimensions, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
