Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X20H
The AirTAC MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X20H 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 MD16X20H
The MD16X20H is a genuine AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body pneumatic cylinder that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side to save space. This double acting unit has no magnet, delivers a theoretical push force of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa on its 16 mm bore, and cushions with a bumper rather than an air cushion. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The H suffix denotes the high-temperature seal option, extending the working temperature range to 0-150 C where the standard range is -20 to 70 C - useful near ovens or warm tooling. This is a standard MD-family cylinder, so rod rotation is not prevented; see the MK no-rotating family for a fixed rod. Port thread is PT on an M5x0.8 port. We confirm exact dimensions and sizing from the AirTAC 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
Select the 16 mm bore when your station needs about 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa; the 10 mm bore gives 39.3 N and the 20 mm bore 157.1 N. This MD version is double acting and magnet-free with the high-temperature seal option; add an S suffix for a magnet, choose MDJ for an adjustable stroke, or switch to MK to stop rod rotation. The 20 mm stroke sits inside the 50 mm maximum for 16 mm bores - the short compact covers caution against over-long strokes, and side-load questions should come to us. Thread is PT on this SKU or G on request.
Applications
Hot-part eject near an oven line
Mounted beside a small curing or drying oven, the MD16X20H pushes warm parts off a fixture with its 0-150 C seal option where standard NBR seals would not survive.
Clamp on warm tooling
The square body fixes to the side of a heated mold or press tool, clamping inserts with 100.5 N of push force in a space too tight for a tie-rod cylinder.
Sorter divert in a warm dock
Bolted under a parcel sorter, the 20 mm stroke kicks small cartons onto a spur line, with six-direction fixing making alignment in the tight frame simple.
FAQ
How does the H version of the MD16X20 differ from the standard cylinder?
The H suffix denotes the high-temperature seal option, extending the working temperature range to 0-150 C instead of the standard -20 to 70 C. Everything else stays the same: 16 mm bore, 20 mm stroke, double acting, no magnet, PT thread, and 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa.
What stroke can I run on a 16 mm multi-mount cylinder?
Bore 16 double acting cylinders go up to a 50 mm stroke, and the short compact covers mean an over-long stroke is best avoided for the body design. If you need more travel, confirm the configuration from the datasheet or contact us for sizing help.
