Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD16X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD16X10S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, pull type), 16 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 60.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD16X10S
The AirTAC MD/MK multi-mount series is a compact square-body cylinder that can be fixed from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision. The MTD16X10S is the single acting, pull type: air retracts the rod and a built-in spring extends it, delivering a 10 mm stroke at 50-500 mm/s. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), takes 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, works from -20 to 70 C, and cushions with a bumper. At 0.5 MPa the single-acting push thrust of a 16 mm bore is 70.4 N; because this pull type works against its spring, the useful force is lower - confirm the exact pull figure from the datasheet.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. Within the series the MD family is the standard multi-mount cylinder while the MK family adds a no-rotating plate that stops the rod turning; the MTD prefix means the standard MD body in the pull-type single-acting version, where rod rotation is not prevented. As the SKU shows, this model includes the magnet for switch sensing. Dimensions and sizing for your mounting arrangement are confirmed 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 16 mm bore when you need the series' mid-range force: single-acting push thrust at 0.5 MPa is 70.4 N for this bore, and the pull-type return force is lower because the spring opposes the stroke. In the MD family the standard body allows rod rotation, while MK variants prevent it; acting types span double (MD), single push (MSD), single pull (MTD, this model), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ, which adds a 10/20/30 mm adjustable range). Single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm, so the 10 mm stroke of this SKU sits well inside the table - the short cover rewards keeping the stroke short, and side-load limits are confirmed by us from the datasheet. This model carries the magnet (S) and the PT thread; G threads are available.
Applications
Spring-extended line stopper
The normally-extended rod blocks small parts in a conveyor lane, and air retracts it to release one part at a time; the spring keeps the stop engaged if air is lost.
Fixture locating pin
Mounted top-down on a jig, the spring keeps the pin out to locate a bracket, and a pulse of air retracts it so the operator can load the next part.
Index lock on a rotary table
The rod extends by spring into an index plate to lock each position, and air pulls it back for indexing to the next station.
FAQ
What does the code MTD16X10S decode to?
MTD is the single acting, pull type of the standard MD multi-mount family (air retracts, spring extends), 16 is the 16 mm bore, 10 is the 10 mm stroke, the trailing S means the magnet is included, and the absence of G means the PT port thread. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
Can I fit a longer stroke to save adding cylinders later?
Keep the stroke short: single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm and the compact cover is designed for short, precise moves, so an over-long stroke is best avoided. For exact stroke-specific dimensions and side-load limits, confirm from the datasheet with us.
