Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X20
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X20 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 MTD10X20
The AirTAC MTD multi-mount cylinder is a compact square-body actuator that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side to save space. This MTD10X20 is the single-acting, pull-type variant in a 10mm bore with a 20mm stroke: air power draws the rod in over the full short travel, a good match for retract-type clamp, stopper and indexing jobs in tight layouts. Cushioning is a bumper, magnetic-switch slots run around the body, and guide precision is high with no added lubricant required. This SKU carries no S suffix, so it is supplied without the magnet.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD family, the standard multi-mount series - rod rotation is not restricted here (that is the MK no-rotating family's role). It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), from -20 to 70 C (up to 150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material), at 50-500 mm/s. We confirm dimensions and sizing 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
Pick the bore for the force the job needs: 10mm is the compact mid-size of the range. As this is a single-acting pull type, confirm the pull-side thrust for this bore from the datasheet - single-acting figures differ by side, the push side is always higher, and the two must not be mixed. MD is the standard family (rotation allowed); choose MK when the rod must not rotate. Acting options are double acting (MD), single-acting push (MSD), single-acting pull (MTD, this model), double rod (MDD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ). Single-acting strokes run up to 20mm, so this stroke sits at the top of the range - the short cover cautions against going longer. No S suffix here means no magnet; ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread, with G as the alternative. Route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Retracting ejector
Pull a small ejector or kicker pin back inside a compact assembly head to clear the part path, with the cylinder bolted through the top or bottom face.
Indexing fixture
Retract a locking pin so a rotary indexing table can step to the next station, mounting the cylinder sideways in a cramped fixture plate.
Chute divert gate
Draw a divert gate out of the flow in a bin- or tote-handling chute, using side-by-side mounting where there is no room for a tie-rod cylinder.
FAQ
How do I choose between MD and MK in this size?
MD is the standard multi-mount family, so the rod is free to rotate - fine for clamping, stopping and retracting pins. MK is the no-rotating family, which adds a plate, bushing and fixed rod to stop the rod turning. If your tooling needs the rod orientation held, step up to MK; otherwise this MTD is the simpler choice.
Why is the stroke limited to 20mm on this single-acting cylinder?
Single-acting MD-family models are built with a short cover and offer strokes up to 20mm, so an over-long stroke should be avoided on this design. If you need more travel, look at the double-acting variants, and confirm the pull-side thrust and dimensions for your bore and stroke from the datasheet.
