Airtac MSK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MSK10X10
The AirTAC Airtac MSK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MSK10X10 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (single acting, push type), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 15.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MSK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MSK10X10
MSK10X10 is a single-acting push-type multi-mount cylinder: a 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke compact square body that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), so several units can sit side by side to save space. Push type means air pressure drives the rod out and it retracts when the air is released, which suits clamps and ejectors that should free the part on air loss. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), theoretical push thrust is 15.8 N at 0.5 MPa, speed is 50-500 mm/s and the cushion is a bumper. Use air filtered to 40 um; the temperature range is -20 to 70 C.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MK family, where a no-rotating plate, bushing and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning (the MD family is the standard type where rod rotation is allowed). As coded, this SKU is supplied without a magnet and with PT thread; magnet (trailing S) and G thread versions exist but are not this SKU. We confirm overall dimensions, which vary with stroke, and sizing details 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 10 single-acting push gives about 15.8 N theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa, so step up a bore size if your clamp or eject job needs more force. Choose MK (this SKU) when the rod must not rotate, or MD when rotation is acceptable. Within the MK family, push (MSK) extends under air, pull (MTK) retracts under air, and double acting (MK) works both ways. Single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm, so 10 mm sits well inside the table; avoid stretching past the short cover by ordering an over-long stroke. Add S to the code if you need a magnet, and pick PT (default) or G thread; the port on this bore is M5x0.8. Route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Small-part clamping
The rod pushes out to hold a small bracket or fitting in a drill or assembly jig and retracts on air release, so a dropped air line frees the part. The square body bolts flush beside other cylinders on a crowded fixture.
Conveyor gate and stopper
Fix the body through a miniature conveyor frame from the top or side to pop up a stopper that indexes small bins or cartons. The no-rotating rod keeps the stopper plate facing the product flow.
Nest ejection in testing
Use the short push stroke to kick an oriented part out of an inspection nest into a collection chute, with the fixed rod and no-rotating plate holding the ejector pad square to the part.
FAQ
What does MSK10X10 decode to?
MSK is the single-acting push-type no-rotating version of the MK multi-mount family, 10 is the bore in mm and 10 is the stroke in mm. There is no trailing S, so this SKU is supplied without a magnet, and the blank thread field means PT ports (M5x0.8 on this bore).
Where can I mount this cylinder and how long can the stroke be?
The square body fixes from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom, and units mount side by side to save space. Single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm on this family, and overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet before designing the fixture.
