Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ10X30-30
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ10X30-30 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ10X30-30
The MDJ10X30-30 is an AirTAC MDJ adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder whose compact square body fixes from 6 directions and sits side by side with other units to save space. It is double acting, with a 10 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, giving about 39.3 N theoretical push and 33.0 N pull at 0.5 MPa for light-duty jobs, plus a generous 30 mm of adjustable travel. Cushioning is a bumper, the medium is air filtered to 40 um, and the operating range is -20 to 70 C (0 to 150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material).
As a genuine AirTAC part in the MD family, the rod is free to rotate; choose the MK family when rotation must be prevented. This SKU has no magnet - the code carries no S. We confirm 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
Size the bore to the load: this 10 mm bore provides roughly 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa (33.0 N on the pull side). MD means the rod may rotate; MK would prevent it. The 30 mm base stroke is within the bore-10 double-acting table (up to 35 mm) and the MDJ adds a 30 mm adjustable range, the largest available. No trailing S here, so the unit ships without magnet - add the S variant if you need switch detection. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread as the default; G is offered. Because the cover is short, avoid stretching the stroke beyond the table, and send side-load questions to us.
Applications
Pick-and-place lift
Mounted under a compact picker head, the double-acting rod raises and lowers a light workpiece, with the 30 mm adjustment letting engineers re-tune lift height when the tooling changes.
Stopper on a mini conveyor
Fixed to the conveyor frame from the top or side, the cylinder pops up to halt small cartons or trays, the bumper absorbing the stop at the end of travel.
Test-fixture positioning
Row-mounted on a bench-top test rig, several units fit closely together, each with its own adjusted stroke so probes meet parts at slightly different heights.
FAQ
How do I pick between this MDJ10X30-30 and a fixed-stroke model?
If your stop or lift position may need to shift after installation, the MDJ adjustable stroke lets you add up to 30 mm of tuned travel on top of the 30 mm base stroke. A fixed-stroke MD is simpler and cheaper when the position is final. Either way, check the exact envelope dimensions from the datasheet first.
What should I watch out for when mounting this cylinder?
Use any of the 6 fixing directions the square body offers and place units side by side to save space, but remember the short cover: keep the stroke within the bore table rather than pushing travel to the limit. If your application pushes against the rod sideways, confirm the allowable side load from the datasheet through us.
