Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X15
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X15 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 MTD10X15
MTD10X15 is a 10 mm bore, 15 mm stroke single-acting pull type cylinder from AirTAC's MD multi-mount series. The compact square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units sit 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 is without 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 and dimensions 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 the 15 mm stroke fits the table with margin - but keep strokes short, as the covers are built for compact duty. This SKU is without a magnet; add S to the code for magnetic-switch sensing, and pick PT (blank) or G port thread.
Applications
Vertical lift ejector
The 15 mm stroke lifts or drops a small part a short controlled distance when air is applied. Six-way fixing means the cylinder can hang under a plate or off a fixture side.
Small-part clamping pin
Retracts under air to open a clamp pocket and returns to hold the part when air is vented. Units mount side by side along the fixture for multi-point holding.
Fixture stop-and-release
Acts as the stop pin in a jig: air retracts the pin to let the workpiece advance to the next position. The bumper cushions contact, and the square body fixes from any of six directions.
FAQ
Why choose a 15 mm stroke on a 10 mm bore single-acting pull cylinder?
Single-acting strokes in this family run up to 20 mm, so 15 mm is near the top of the range. The covers on these compact cylinders favour short strokes, so if you need more travel, check the datasheet or ask us about the double-acting MD options before upsizing the stroke.
What is the difference between MTD and MK in this series?
MTD belongs to the standard MD multi-mount family, where the rod is free to rotate. The MK series is the no-rotating version, with a fixed rod and plate that stop the rod turning. Both fix from six directions and mount side by side; for the pull side thrust of this 10 mm bore, confirm the figure from the datasheet.
