The MP10 combines the functions MP5, while maintaining a competitive price. It is designed as a compatible replacement for the Tortoise by Circuitron™ switch machine, with the same mounting footprint, but a much reduced installation height, however the MP10 is NOT a stall motor: it runs for 3 seconds drawing 100 mA and shuts off, drawing no power when travel is complete in either direction.

The MP10 can be powered via either a Two-wire connection, with movement controlled by the polarity of the power supply,
or by a Three-wire connection, alternately applying power to control movement.

The throw range can be set to 3.5, 6.0, 9.5, or 12.5mm by moving a pin on the internal cam. It can be used for any gauge Z through O.
