Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X10-10
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X10-10 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 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 MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X10-10
The MDJ16X10-10 is an AirTAC MD-family multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body, double-acting actuator that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side so several cylinders share the same panel pitch. This 16 mm bore version gives a theoretical push force of about 100.5 N (86.4 N on the pull side) at 0.5 MPa, with a 10 mm stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable-stroke range for fine-tuning the effective stroke in tight fixtures. Cushioning is a bumper, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and magnetic-switch slots are machined around the body; this SKU comes without a magnet, so add the S suffix if you need position sensing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard multi-mount cylinder, where rod rotation is allowed; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate for jobs where the rod must not turn. This unit has the default PT thread on its M5x0.8 port. Overall dimensions and sizing details are stroke-specific - we confirm them from the AirTAC 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
Choose the bore for thrust: this 16 mm bore pushes about 100.5 N (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa; step up to 20 mm (157.1 N push) or down to 10 mm (39.3 N) if your load calls for it. MD means rod rotation is allowed - pick the MK family if rotation must be prevented. Acting choices are double acting (MD), single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) or adjustable stroke (this MDJ). Double-acting 16 mm strokes run up to 50 mm, and MDJ adds a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range on top; this model is 10 mm stroke plus 10 mm adjustable. Add S for magnet and choose PT (default) or G thread. Keep the stroke modest - the short covers of a compact body mean very long strokes are best avoided - and send side-load questions to us.
Applications
Jig positioning on fixtures
Bolt the square body to a machining or assembly jig from whichever of its six faces suits the layout, and use the 10 mm stroke plus 10 mm adjustable range to set the exact push-in depth for locating workpieces.
Small-parts clamping
Side-by-side mounting lets several 16 mm cylinders sit on one compact clamp plate, each delivering around 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa to hold small components during gluing, marking or testing.
Rotary-table indexing assist
Mount the cylinder under or beside an indexing table and adjust the stroke to advance each part into the next station; the 10-500 mm/s double-acting speed range keeps cycle timing smooth.
FAQ
What does the MDJ16X10-10 code tell me about this cylinder?
MDJ is the adjustable-stroke double-acting variant of the standard MD multi-mount family, 16 is the 16 mm bore, the first 10 is the 10 mm base stroke, and the -10 adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top. It comes with the default PT thread and, as this SKU shows, without a magnet (add S for magnet). Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
How many ways can I mount it, and where do dimensions and side-load limits come from?
The body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can be mounted side by side to save space. Because overall dimensions are stroke-specific and side-load capacity is not a single published number here, confirm both from the AirTAC datasheet or ask us and we will pull the figures for you.
