Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD6X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD6X10S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, pull type), 6 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 2.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD6X10S
The MTD6X10S is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounted side by side with others to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision without added lubrication. This 6 mm bore single acting pull-type version works on filtered air at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), takes a 10 mm stroke, and cushions with a bumper. Because it is a pull-type cylinder, confirm the pull-side force for this small bore from the datasheet before sizing the job.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD standard family (the MK family is the no-rotating counterpart). The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet, and the thread is PT. We can 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
Bore sets the force: at 6 mm this is the smallest multi-mount bore, and the pull-side force for this single acting model is confirmed from the datasheet. Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable, or the MK family if the rod must not turn. Acting type options are double acting, single acting push (MSD/MSK), single acting pull (MTD/MTK), double rod, or adjustable stroke. Single acting stroke runs up to 20 mm, and the 10 mm stroke here stays within that table; the short cover cautions against specifying an over-long stroke. Side-load capacity comes from the datasheet, so route it to us. The trailing S on this SKU means the magnet is included; thread is PT, with G available.
Applications
Lab sample-slide actuation
The 10 mm pull stroke retracts a small probe or shutter on laboratory equipment, with the 6 mm body fixed from the top or bottom of a crowded instrument plate.
Pick-and-place part release
Mounted side by side on a compact gripper plate, the pull stroke releases tiny components from vacuum cups or nests between transfer steps.
Fine jig adjustment
Fixing from any of 6 directions lets the cylinder pull a locating pin in and out of a micro-assembly jig where space for a conventional cylinder does not exist.
FAQ
How does MTD6X10S differ from MTD6X10?
Only the magnet. The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet for magnetic-switch detection; MTD6X10 without the S is supplied without one. Both are 6 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, single acting pull-type multi-mount cylinders with PT thread.
Is a long stroke available on this single acting cylinder?
Single acting multi-mount cylinders run up to 20 mm stroke, and this SKU's 10 mm sits within that table. Note the short cover cautions against specifying an over-long stroke, and dimensions per stroke come from the datasheet.
