Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD6X10
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD6X10 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, push type), 6 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 5.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD6X10
The AirTAC MD multi-mount family is a compact square-body cylinder that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side to save space on small, crowded mechanisms. This MSD6X10 is the single-acting push type on a 6 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke: air pressure extends the rod with a theoretical push of 5.7 N at 0.5 MPa, sized for light positioning and ejection jobs, and the stroke is cushioned by a bumper. The body carries magnetic-switch slots and runs on air filtered to 40 um without added lubricant.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard multi-mount series (the MK family is the no-rotating version), and the magnet is optional - this SKU has no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet. The air port on this 6 mm bore is an M5x0.8 PT thread. Dimensions at this stroke and any detailed sizing are confirmed 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
Bore sets the force: at 0.5 MPa this 6 mm single-acting push cylinder gives a theoretical 5.7 N, with an operating range of 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) and speeds of 50-500 mm/s. The single-acting stroke table tops out at 20 mm, so 10 mm suits short pin-push and eject jobs. Choose the MD standard family if some rod rotation is acceptable, or the MK no-rotating family if it is not; other acting options are single-pull (MTD), double-acting (MD), double-rod (MDD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ). This SKU carries no magnet (the S suffix adds one), and the thread is PT with G available as an alternative. Keep strokes short on this series and route any side-load question to us.
Applications
Jig positioning pins
The rod extends to raise a locating pin that seats a small workpiece in a drilling or assembly jig, with the cylinder fixed from whichever face of the jig block is free.
Indexing small carriers
Mounted beside a dial plate or pallet track, the cylinder pushes small carriers one step forward between stations in a compact indexing mechanism.
Light clamping of small parts
A brief push holds tiny components such as connectors or clips against a stop during a soldering, marking or testing step, with units placed side by side on multi-station fixtures.
FAQ
Is the MSD6X10 supplied with a magnet for position switches?
No. This SKU has no trailing S in its code, so it is supplied without a magnet. If you need switch detection, select the MSD6X10S, which is the same cylinder with the magnet option fitted.
What mounting options does this compact body give me?
The square body can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can sit side by side to save space. Exact overall dimensions for the 10 mm stroke and side-load limits come from the datasheet; we can confirm them on request.
