Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X10S
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X10S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, pull type), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 9.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X10S
MTD10X10S is a 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke single-acting pull type cylinder from AirTAC's MD multi-mount series, with a magnet as the trailing S in the code shows. The compact square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units mount side by side to save space, and the slots around the body take magnetic switches. Air works in one stroke only, with a speed range of 50-500 mm/s; the cushion is a bumper, the medium is air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). Confirm the pull-side thrust figure for this bore from the datasheet before sizing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. In the family, MD is the standard series while MK is the no-rotating version with a fixed rod and plate; MTD marks the single-acting pull type. This SKU carries a magnet, with an M5x0.8 port and PT thread as standard. Typical materials are aluminium alloy body and covers, a stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals - bore-specific details, dimensions and sensor selection come from the datasheet, which we confirm 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 available; for this single-acting pull type, take the exact pull-side thrust figure from the datasheet rather than quoting push-side numbers. Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable and MK if the rod must not turn; MTD is single-acting pull, where air drives one stroke only. Strokes for single-acting cylinders run up to 20 mm, so 10 mm fits the table - keep the stroke short, as the covers suit compact duty. The trailing S means this SKU includes a magnet for switch sensing; a code without S would be magnet-free. Pick PT (blank) or G port thread.
Applications
Position check pin
Retracts a check pin under air so a positioned part can move on, with the magnet in the piston feeding switch feedback from the body slots. Six-way fixing suits cramped fixtures.
Fail-safe release stopper
Holds a small part back at a station and retracts under air to release it; when air is vented the pin returns. The bumper cushions the stop, and side-by-side mounting saves rail space.
Jig indexing pin
Pulls the indexing pin clear of the jig on air so the pallet can advance, then re-engages when air is released. The magnet gives a signal that the pin is retracted.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MTD10X10S mean?
The trailing S means this cylinder is supplied with a magnet in the piston, so magnetic switches can be sensed in the slots around the body. A code without the S would be the same cylinder without a magnet. The rest of the code decodes as: MTD single-acting pull type, 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT thread.
How is this cylinder mounted on my fixture?
The square body can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so several units can be mounted side by side to save space. Keep strokes short to suit the compact covers; single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm. Exact dimensions and side-load allowances come from the datasheet - we confirm on request.
