Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X10SH
The AirTAC MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X10SH 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 MD16X10SH
The MD16X10SH is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body actuator that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side to save space. Its 16 mm bore and 10 mm stroke fit short clamp or position moves: as a double-acting unit it produces about 100.5 N of push (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa, runs 30-500 mm/s, and cushions with a bumper. The included magnet pairs with the switch slots around the body.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where rod rotation is not prevented; choose the MK family if rotation must be stopped. This SKU carries the magnet (trailing S) plus the additional H option suffix - confirm the exact scope of that option from the datasheet. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread, and we confirm dimensions and sizing 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
Select the 16 mm bore when you need about 100.5 N of push (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa; larger bores give more thrust. This standard MD unit allows rod rotation - pick MK when rotation must be prevented. Acting is double; the 10 mm stroke is comfortably inside the bore-16 table (up to 50 mm), though short bodies discourage over-long strokes, and side-load questions should come to us. The trailing S adds the magnet; the trailing H is an additional option code to verify on the datasheet. Thread is PT by default, G optional.
Applications
Fixture clamping
Hold a small workpiece against a fixture while it is machined or inspected. The 16 mm bore supplies about 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa from a body that mounts in any of six directions.
Lift and present
Raise a small part or nest a few millimeters to present it to a station. The magnet signals stroke end, and the short body fits under low machine decks.
Connector insertion
Press small connectors or plugs home on an assembly bench. The bumper cushions the end of the 10 mm stroke for a gentle, repeatable insertion.
FAQ
What is the difference between MD16X10SH and MD16X10S?
Both are double-acting, magnet-equipped multi-mount cylinders with a 16 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. The trailing H adds an extra option code; confirm its exact scope on the datasheet or ask us before ordering.
Should I worry about stroke length on this compact body?
Yes. The multi-mount body is intentionally short, so keep the stroke proportionate to the cover design. A 10 mm stroke like this one is well suited; for longer strokes on a 16 mm bore the table goes to 50 mm, and we can check your specific combination against the datasheet.
