Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD20X10S

The MSD20X10S is a compact AirTAC multi-mount cylinder with a square body that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side to save space. It is a single acting push type: air pressure extends the 20 mm bore rod over a 10 mm stroke, delivering a theoretical 110.0 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, well suited to clamping, stopping and ejecting small parts where room is scarce. Cushioning is a bumper, and magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body.

This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family, the standard multi-mount series; the MK family is the no-rotating option when the rod must be held against turning. The trailing S in the code confirms this unit is supplied with a built-in magnet for switch detection. It runs 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 are stroke dependent - we confirm sizing from the datasheet on request.

For single acting push duty, pick the bore by force: 20 mm gives 110.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, versus 70.4 N at 16 mm and 179.1 N at 25 mm. Use the MD series for standard duty or MK when the rod must not rotate. Single acting strokes run up to 20 mm, and this 10 mm stroke suits short movements - remember the short covers and keep strokes inside the catalogue table. The trailing S supplies the magnet for position sensing; drop it if detection is not needed. Port thread is PT as standard, with G available on request. Side-load capacity is a datasheet figure - route it to us.
