Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X60
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X60 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 MD16X60
Multi-mount cylinders are compact square-body pneumatic cylinders that fix from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and can be mounted side by side to save space. This MD16X60 is a double-acting 16 mm bore with a 60 mm stroke, giving a longer reach for positioning, pushing or ejecting. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a theoretical push force of 100.5 N, and the cushion is a bumper. Magnetic-switch slots around the body accept switches for position feedback.
A genuine AirTAC part, the MD family is the standard multi-mount cylinder where rod rotation is allowed; the MK family prevents it. This SKU has no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet. The port thread is PT, with G available. Overall dimensions depend on the stroke - confirm them from the datasheet, and note the stroke length point covered in our selection notes.

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
Choose the bore for thrust: a 16 mm double-acting bore gives 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, within the 6-32 mm range that spans roughly 10.6-402.1 N push. MD allows rod rotation; pick MK when rotation must be prevented. Acting choices: double (MD), single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable (MDJ with a 10-30 mm adjustable range). Note that the standard stroke table for the 16 mm bore tops out at 50 mm, so confirm this 60 mm stroke with us before ordering; long strokes on a compact body also need checking against side-load - ask us. Magnet is added with the trailing S; thread is PT by default or G.
Applications
Slide gate actuator
Fix from the top of a conveyor line and use the 60 mm stroke to open and close a slide gate or diverter in the product path.
Lift-and-locate pin
Mount beneath a fixture to raise a locating pin into a workpiece hole; the six-way fixing suits crowded fixture plates.
Nest ejection pusher
Push finished parts out of a nest or off an indexing table; units sit side by side for multi-point ejection in tight layouts.
FAQ
Is a 60 mm stroke available on the 16 mm bore?
The standard stroke table for the 16 mm bore runs up to 50 mm, so this 60 mm length sits above it. Confirm availability and the exact dimensions from the datasheet with us before ordering.
What does the multi-mount body let me do?
Fix the cylinder from any of six directions - front, back, left, right, top or bottom - and place several units side by side to save space. The compact square body favours short strokes, so keep travel within the bore's table and route side-load questions to us and the datasheet.
