Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK25X10
The AirTAC Airtac MTK Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTK25X10 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (single acting, pull type), 25 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 144.4 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 MTK25X10
The MTK25X10 is a 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke single-acting, pull type multi-mount cylinder from AirTAC's MK series. Its compact square body can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision with no added lubricant. Single-acting, pull type operation means air works on one side only, running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a bumper as the cushion and speeds of 50-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating version of the standard MD series: a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning. This SKU (MTK25X10) is supplied without a magnet; the S-suffix version MTK25X10S adds one. Because this is a single-acting, pull type model, its pull-side force is lower than the push-side figure - we confirm the exact value, plus 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
Choose the 25 mm bore when you want the strongest option in the MK single-acting range; because the MTK is a pull type, the pull-side force is lower than the push side, so confirm the exact figure from the datasheet before sizing. If your job needs the rod to push rather than pull, the MSK is the single-acting push type and the MK is the double-acting option. Keep the stroke within the single-acting table limit of 20 mm - 10 mm sits well inside, and the short single-acting covers caution against an over-long stroke. The magnet is added only with the S suffix, and the port thread is PT as standard with G available.
Applications
Releasing small-part clamps
Use the air-powered pull stroke to draw a latch or clamp jaw back and free a finished small part from a tight fixture, with no rotating rod to disturb the clamp alignment.
Gate retract under narrow conveyors
Fix the body to the frame from the bottom or side using the 6-way mount, and let the 10 mm pull stroke retract a small gate or stopper blade in a cramped conveyor layout.
Jig locating-pin retraction
Mount MTK25X10 cylinders side by side along a drilling or assembly jig to pull locating pins clear of the workpiece, with the no-rotating design keeping each pin's orientation fixed.
FAQ
What does the MTK in MTK25X10 mean?
MTK is the MK family's single-acting, pull type variant: air works on one side to pull the rod, and the MK body keeps the rod non-rotating. On a 25 mm bore the port is M5x0.8 with a PT thread as standard (G is available). Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation?
Yes. The multi-mount body fixes from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so you can bolt it wherever the machine layout needs. Keep the stroke short, as the single-acting covers suit strokes up to 20 mm, and confirm side-load limits and exact dimensions from the datasheet.
