Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X10H
The AirTAC MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X10H is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (double acting), 16 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X10H
The MD16X10H is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and can be mounted side by side to save space. With a 16 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, this double-acting unit delivers about 100.5 N of push (86.4 N on the pull side) at 0.5 MPa, runs at 30-500 mm/s on filtered air, and cushions end of travel with a bumper. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where rod rotation is not prevented; step to the MK family if your application needs a no-rotating rod. As the SKU shows, no magnet is fitted - order MD16X10S if you need one. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread, and we confirm dimensions, the trailing H option suffix and sizing details 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 your task needs roughly 100.5 N of push (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa; go to 20 or 25 mm for more force. This is a standard MD unit, so rotation is allowed - choose MK if it must be prevented. The acting type here is double; the 10 mm stroke sits well inside the bore-16 table (up to 50 mm), but keep strokes short on this compact body and route any side-load question to us. No magnet in this SKU; add S for one. Thread is PT by default, with G available.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
Clamp small machined or molded parts in a tight fixture. The 16 mm bore gives about 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, and the square body clamps down from the top or side of a crowded plate.
Jig positioning
Push parts square against a jig stop on an assembly fixture. The 6-direction fixing lets the cylinder sit wherever the jig frame allows, and units mount side by side on narrow pitch.
Gate or stopper
Extend a stopper blade into the path of small parts on a conveyor line. The short 10 mm stroke and bumper cushion give a quick, gentle stop without added lubrication.
FAQ
Does the MD16X10H include a magnet for position sensing?
No. This SKU has no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet. If you need piston position detection, order MD16X10S instead - same bore, stroke and acting type, with magnet included.
Can I fix this cylinder in any orientation?
Yes. The multi-mount body fixes from six directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. That makes it easy to tuck into a compact machine layout or mount several units side by side. For exact dimensions and side-load limits, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
