Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X15-10
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X15-10 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 MDJ16X15-10
The MDJ16X15-10 is a compact AirTAC multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), so units mount side by side to save space on your machine. This adjustable-stroke variant carries a 16 mm bore with a 15 mm base stroke and an extra 10 mm adjustable range, double acting for power in both directions. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a theoretical push force of 100.5 N, and cushioning is by bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD standard family, where the piston rod is free to rotate; the MK family with a no-rotating plate is available where rod rotation must be prevented. The SKU shows no magnet, so position sensing is not included in this code. We confirm exact dimensions and sizing 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
Size the bore to the force you need: at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm double-acting bore gives a theoretical 100.5 N push (86.4 N pull). Choose MD when rod rotation is acceptable, or MK when rotation must be prevented. Acting choices include double acting, single-push (MSD), single-pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ, this variant, adding a 10/20/30 mm adjustable range on top of the base stroke). Stroke for this bore runs up to 50 mm in the table; keep the base stroke within the short cover rather than asking one small cylinder to reach too far. Add the trailing S for a magnet, and pick PT or G port thread. Route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is well matched to clamping small parts in fixtures, and the 10 mm adjustable range lets you tune clamp position without remachining.
Pick-and-place transfer
Mount the body top or bottom to fit a tight pick-and-place slide; side-by-side mounting keeps multiple axes in a compact footprint.
Indexing a light fixture
Six-way fixing lets you bolt the cylinder where the indexing sequence needs it, and the bumper cushions the end of each index stroke.
FAQ
What does the -10 in MDJ16X15-10 mean?
This is an MDJ adjustable-stroke cylinder: 16 mm bore, 15 mm base stroke, plus a 10 mm adjustable range on top (available ranges are 10, 20 or 30 mm). The code carries no trailing S, so no magnet is fitted, and the port thread is PT by default.
How many ways can this cylinder be mounted?
The multi-mount square body can be fixed from 6 directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom. Cylinders can also sit side by side to save space. Overall dimensions are per stroke, so confirm exact figures from the datasheet; ask us about allowable side-load before applying lateral force.
