Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X60SH
The AirTAC MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X60SH 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 MD16X60SH
The MD16X60SH is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so several units can be mounted side by side to save space. With a 16 mm bore in double-acting configuration and a 60 mm stroke, it provides about 100.5 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa on the extend stroke. Cushioning at end of stroke is a bumper, which absorbs impact without any added lubrication.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where the rod is free to rotate - the no-rotating design belongs to the MK family. The trailing S in the code confirms a built-in magnet that suits the magnetic-switch slots around the body, and the trailing G specifies a G port thread on the M5x0.8 port. We can confirm dimensions and sizing for this model 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 job needs roughly 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa; step up a bore size for more thrust. MD is the standard family where rod rotation is allowed - choose MK if rotation must be prevented. This SKU is double acting, carries a magnet (S) and has a G thread; the same cylinder without the G suffix comes with PT thread. Note that the bore-16 stroke table tops out at 50 mm, so confirm this 60 mm stroke and its short-cover limits from the datasheet before ordering, and route any side-load questions to us.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
The 60 mm reach lets the 16 mm bore extend across a fixture to clamp small parts securely before machining or assembly.
Gate stopper
Mounted beside a conveyor, the cylinder extends to stop or hold small packages at a gate position in the line.
Jig positioning
Fixed from the top or side of a jig, it pushes workpieces into position between handling cycles.
FAQ
Does the 60 mm stroke fit the standard bore-16 stroke table?
The bore-16 multi-mount table runs up to 50 mm, so this 60 mm stroke is a non-standard length. Confirm availability and exact dimensions from the datasheet or ask us before ordering.
How many ways can this cylinder be mounted?
The square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body.
