Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X20S
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X20S 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 MTD10X20S
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 MTD10X20S 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, fitting retract-type clamp, stopper and positioning work in dense panel layouts. Cushioning is a bumper, magnetic-switch slots run around the body, and guide precision is high with no added lubricant required. The trailing S means this SKU is supplied with the magnet, ready to work with magnetic switches.
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
Match the bore to the force needed: 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 the higher, and the two sides must not be mixed. MD is the standard family (rotation allowed); pick MK where 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 anything longer. The S suffix here means the magnet is included; ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread, with G as the alternative. Route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Vertical retract clamp
Pull a small clamp or lifting finger upward out of the way inside a compact machine head, with the cylinder fixed from the top or bottom face.
Machine-tool stopper
Retract a stopper pin that halts a sliding fixture or pallet on a machining line, sensing end position with a switch in the body slot.
Pick-and-place release
Draw a small gripper or part carrier back from a nest on a compact pick-and-place module, stacking several cylinders side by side under the plate.
FAQ
What does the acting type of the MTD mean in practice?
MTD is the single-acting, pull-type variant of the MD multi-mount family: air power does the pulling stroke, in contrast to the push-type MSD. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) at this 10mm bore and speed is 50-500 mm/s. For the exact pull-side thrust figure at your working pressure, confirm from the datasheet - single-acting push-side figures are higher and should not be substituted.
Where do I find dimensions and side-load limits for this cylinder?
Overall dimensions depend on the stroke and mount orientation, and side-load capacity is not published as a simple number here, so both should be confirmed from the datasheet - we can send it and help with sizing on request. What is fixed by design is the six-direction mounting and the side-by-side layout that saves panel space.
