Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X70
The AirTAC Airtac MD Multi-Position Clamping Cylinder MD16X70 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 MD16X70
The MD16X70 is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can be mounted side by side to save space on the machine. Its 16 mm bore works double acting over a 70 mm stroke, giving about 100.5 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa on the extend stroke. Cushioning is a bumper at each end of travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family, where rod rotation is allowed; the no-rotating plate design is found in the MK family instead. The code carries no S suffix, so this cylinder is supplied without a magnet, and without a G suffix it uses the default PT port thread on its 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
The 16 mm bore suits tasks needing around 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa; go up a bore if you need more thrust. MD means rotation of the rod is acceptable - switch to MK when it is not. This SKU is double acting with PT thread and no magnet; add the S suffix for a magnet-equipped version or G for a G thread. The bore-16 stroke table ends at 50 mm, so this 70 mm stroke should be confirmed from the datasheet along with its short-cover limits - and send side-load questions to us.
Applications
Part push-off
At the end of a machining cycle the cylinder extends to push finished small parts off the fixture into a chute or tray.
Conveyor gate
Bolted through the top or side of the frame, it acts as a gate to divert or stop flow on a small-package conveyor.
Fixture clamping
The 70 mm stroke bridges the distance from the mount face to the clamp point on jigs and holding fixtures.
FAQ
What does the PT port thread on this cylinder mean?
PT is the default port thread for the MD family; a G-thread version is made under codes ending in G. On this 16 mm bore the port size is M5x0.8 either way.
This stroke is longer than the bore-16 table - is that a problem?
The standard bore-16 table stops at 50 mm, so this 70 mm stroke is a non-standard length with a longer exposed rod. Confirm exact dimensions from the datasheet or ask us before ordering, and route any side-load requirements to us as well.
