Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X10-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X10-10S 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 MDJ16X10-10S
The MDJ16X10-10S 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 to save valuable panel space. 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, and the trailing S means the piston carries a magnet so magnetic switches can be seated in the slots around the body to signal end positions. Cushioning is a bumper, and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
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 when the rod must stay fixed. This unit uses 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
Select the bore for thrust: this 16 mm bore pushes about 100.5 N (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa; go to 20 mm for 157.1 N push or 25 mm for 245.4 N if the load is heavier. MD allows rod rotation - choose MK if it must be prevented. Acting options 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, with MDJ adding a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range; this model is 10 mm stroke plus 10 mm adjustable. The S here means with magnet for switch sensing; drop the S if you do not need it. Thread is PT (default) or G. Keep strokes modest because of the short covers, and route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Test-rig actuation with end-position feedback
Fix the body to a test bench from any of its six faces and use the magnet with body slots to confirm the 10 mm stroke has fully reached each end before the next test step starts.
Compact small-parts press
Line several 16 mm cylinders side by side on a dense fixture plate; each delivers about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa for pressing pins, labels or light snap-fits, with the adjustable range setting the press depth.
Pick-and-place part presence check
Mount the cylinder vertically on a pick head and adjust the stroke so the probe contacts seated parts only; the magnet signal confirms contact without adding a separate sensor.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MDJ16X10-10S mean?
The trailing S means this cylinder is supplied with a magnet in the piston, so magnetic switches can be clipped into the slots around the square body for end-position sensing. Without the S the cylinder has no magnet. The rest of the code reads MDJ adjustable-stroke double acting, 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, with a 10 mm adjustable range and PT thread.
Can I use a very long stroke with this compact cylinder?
Be careful with long strokes: the multi-mount body has short covers, so very long strokes are best avoided even though the 16 mm double-acting table goes up to 50 mm. This model's 10 mm stroke plus 10 mm adjustable range sits comfortably inside that limit. For exact dimensions and side-load capacity, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
