Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK10X15
The AirTAC Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK10X15 is a genuine MK 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. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK10X15
The AirTAC MTK10X15 is a 10mm bore, 15mm stroke no-rotating multi-mount cylinder in single acting, pull type form: pressurized air retracts the piston rod and a built-in spring extends it. The square body fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision without added lubrication. Cushioning is a bumper, operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and the speed range for single acting cylinders is 50-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family adds a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod that stop the piston rod turning, unlike the standard MD family. This SKU carries no magnet (no trailing S). The port thread is PT, on an M5x0.8 port for this bore. 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
The 10mm bore is the smallest in the range and suits light-duty holding and positioning; on a pull-type single acting cylinder the pull-stroke force is lower than the push side, so confirm exact figures from the datasheet. Choose MTK (this model) when rod rotation must be prevented, or the standard MD family when it does not. Single acting strokes run up to 20mm, so this 15mm stroke stays within the short-cover design; avoid an over-long stroke on this family. This SKU has no magnet; select the S suffix if you need switch detection, and PT or G port thread.
Applications
Nest ejection of finished parts
The spring-extended rod pushes a finished small part out of a machining nest when air is exhausted; air retracts it to load the next blank. The no-rotating plate keeps the push face aligned.
Lane diverter stopper
Mounted through the side of a conveyor lane, the spring-out rod stops sliding bins at a checkpoint; air pulls it back to release them. Six-direction fixing suits tight side frames.
Fixture locating pin
A pull-type pin stays extended by spring to locate a weld jig, then retracts on air for part removal. Bodies mounted side by side place several pins along one compact edge.
FAQ
MTK or MK for my application?
Both are MK-family no-rotating cylinders with a plate, brass bushing and fixed rod that stop the rod turning. MTK is the single acting pull type here (air retracts, spring extends), while MK is double acting in both directions. Choose single acting pull when you need a spring-out function and a fail-extended rest position.
What should I check before ordering this 15mm stroke?
Single acting strokes are available up to 20mm, so 15mm fits the short-cover design, but an over-long stroke should be avoided on this family. Overall dimensions vary with the stroke and are given in the datasheet, which we can confirm on request along with any side-load limits for your mounting.
