Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X35
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X35 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 MD16X35
The MD16X35 is an AirTAC MD-series multi-mount cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 35 mm stroke. Its compact square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side, so banks of cylinders sit in one tight line. Magnetic-switch slots are formed around the body, guide precision is high, and no added lubricant is needed. Double acting, it delivers a theoretical push thrust of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa on the 16 mm bore, with a bumper providing the cushioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD family, where the rod is free to rotate; pick the MK no-rotating family if rotation must be prevented. This SKU carries no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet, and the port is M5x0.8 with a PT thread. It runs on air filtered to 40 um over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and -20 to 70 C. We confirm stroke-specific 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
Select the 16 mm bore when roughly 100.5 N of theoretical push at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N pull) matches your job; go to 20 or 25 mm for more force. Stay on MD if rod rotation is acceptable and move to MK if it is not; double acting powers both directions, with MSD/MTD single acting, MDD double rod and MDJ adjustable stroke as alternatives. The 35 mm stroke sits inside the bore-16 table (up to 50 mm), and the short covers reward keeping the stroke as short as the job allows. This code has no S, so no magnet is fitted - add the S suffix if you later need switch detection. The thread is PT, with G available; route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Conveyor stopper gate
Raise a stopper blade under moving parts to release one piece at a time; the bumper absorbs the arrive, and six-way fixing suits any frame face.
Jig positioning push
Seat a workpiece squarely against a locator before fastening; the 35 mm stroke covers part variation without lengthening the station.
Light press and insert
Seat plugs, pins or labels with about 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa - light-duty pressing where a full-size cylinder will not fit.
FAQ
Does the MD16X35 include a position-sensing magnet?
No - the code has no trailing S, so this cylinder is supplied without a magnet. The switch slots are still formed in the body; order the MD16X35S version if you want the magnet fitted for position detection.
How long can the stroke be on this 16 mm bore?
The bore-16 stroke table runs up to 50 mm, so the 35 mm stroke on this SKU is within range. Because the short covers keep the body compact, avoid an over-long stroke for your job, and confirm exact overall dimensions from the datasheet.
