Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X10-10SH
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X10-10SH 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 MDJ16X10-10SH
The MDJ16X10-10SH is an AirTAC MD-family multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body, double-acting actuator fixed from any of six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and able to sit side by side with other cylinders to save 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. The trailing S means the piston is magnetised for switch sensing in the body slots, and the H indicates the optional high-temperature seal material, extending the working temperature range from the standard -20 to 70 C up to 0-150 C. Cushioning is a bumper; operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MD is the standard multi-mount family where rod rotation is allowed - the MK family is the one that prevents rotation with its no-rotating plate. This unit carries 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
Pick the bore for thrust: 16 mm gives about 100.5 N push (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa, while 20 mm reaches 157.1 N and 32 mm 402.1 N. MD allows rod rotation; switch to MK 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; this model is 10 mm stroke plus 10 mm adjustable. S gives you the magnet for sensing, and H selects the high-temperature seals for 0-150 C service. Thread is PT (default) or G. Avoid over-long strokes on the short-cover body, and send side-load questions to us.
Applications
Hot-zone gate stopper
Mount the cylinder beside a production line near drying or curing ovens and use the 10 mm plus 10 mm adjustable stroke to stop or divert parts, with the high-temperature seals handling ambient heat up to 150 C.
Warm-storage tray indexing
Fix the body to a conveyor frame from whichever of its six faces fits, and index warm trays one position at a time; the magnet in the piston signals each completed stroke to the controller.
Compact clamp near heat sources
Position several of these cylinders side by side on a clamp plate close to heat lamps or hot plates, each applying about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa to hold workpieces where standard NBR-only seals would age faster.
FAQ
What does the H at the end of MDJ16X10-10SH change?
The H selects the optional high-temperature seal material. Standard MD cylinders work from -20 to 70 C; with the high-temperature seals this cylinder is rated from 0 to 150 C, which suits locations near ovens or heated tooling. The rest of the code reads MDJ adjustable-stroke double acting, 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke plus 10 mm adjustable, S with magnet, PT thread.
Why choose MDJ instead of a plain MD cylinder, and what are the limits?
MDJ adds an adjustable-stroke range - here 10 mm on top of the 10 mm base stroke - so you can trim the effective stroke without shimming the fixture. Remember the short-cover design argues against very long strokes, and both exact dimensions and side-load capacity come from the AirTAC datasheet rather than a single published figure, so confirm with us.
