Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD20X10

The MSD20X10 is a compact AirTAC multi-mount cylinder whose square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side to save space on packed machines. It is a single acting push type: air pressure extends the 20 mm bore rod over a 10 mm stroke, producing a theoretical 110.0 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, enough for firm clamping, stopping and ejecting of small parts in tight spaces. Cushioning is a bumper.

This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family, the standard multi-mount series; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate where the rod must not turn. The code carries no trailing S, so this unit is supplied without a magnet - choose the MSD20X10S if you need magnetic switch detection. It operates on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to 70 C temperature range (0-150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material). Exact dimensions depend on stroke - we confirm sizing from the datasheet on request.

For single acting push duty, bore sets the force: 20 mm gives 110.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while 16 mm gives 70.4 N and 25 mm gives 179.1 N. Stay in the MD series for standard behaviour or move to MK when rotation of the rod must be prevented. Single acting strokes run up to 20 mm, so this 10 mm stroke suits short movements; the short covers mean an over-long stroke on a compact body is a false economy - keep within the catalogue table. This SKU has no magnet; add S for detection, and note the port thread is PT as standard with G available. Send us side-load questions rather than estimating.
