Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD6X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MSD Multi-Position Fixed Cylinder MSD6X10S 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 MSD6X10S
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 mechanisms. This MSD6X10S 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 for light positioning and ejection jobs, and the stroke is cushioned by a bumper. Magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body, and the cylinder 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 carries the trailing S, so it is supplied with a magnet for switch detection in the body slots. The air port on this 6 mm bore is an M5x0.8 PT thread. Dimensions at this stroke and 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 over an operating range of 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) at 50-500 mm/s. The single-acting stroke table tops out at 20 mm, so 10 mm is right for short pin-push and eject jobs. Pick the MD standard family when slight rod rotation is acceptable, or the MK no-rotating family when it is not; other acting options are single-pull (MTD), double-acting (MD), double-rod (MDD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ). The trailing S on this SKU means the magnet is included; the thread is PT, with G available. Keep strokes short on this series, and route side-load limits to us before mounting.
Applications
Jig positioning with switch feedback
The rod raises a locating pin to seat a small part in a jig, and the fitted magnet lets a switch in the body slot confirm the extended position to the controller.
Indexing small carriers
Placed beside a pallet track, the cylinder steps small carriers forward one station at a time, with magnet feedback verifying each push in the cycle.
Light clamping of small parts
A brief push holds tiny components against a stop during marking or testing, with units mounted side by side on multi-station fixtures where panel space is tight.
FAQ
Why choose MSD6X10S over MSD6X10, and what does the S mean?
The trailing S is the magnet option: the MSD6X10S is supplied with a magnet so magnetic switches can be seated in the slots around the body to signal rod position. The MSD6X10 without the S is the same cylinder supplied without a magnet.
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation, and how do I check the dimensions?
Yes - the square body fixes from six directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom, and units can be placed side by side to save space. Overall dimensions for the 10 mm stroke and any side-load limits are in the datasheet; confirm them with us before finalising the mount.
