Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X15-20
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X15-20 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 MDJ16X15-20
The MDJ16X15-20 is a compact AirTAC multi-mount cylinder that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), letting you mount units side by side to save space. This adjustable-stroke variant combines a 16 mm bore and 15 mm base stroke with a 20 mm adjustable range, double acting for both push and pull work. At 0.5 MPa it produces 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 rod may rotate; the MK no-rotating family stops that with a fixed plate. The code shows no magnet, so no position sensing is included here. 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
Choose the bore for the thrust: this 16 mm double-acting bore gives a theoretical 100.5 N push (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa. Stay with MD when rod rotation is acceptable, or move to MK when it must be prevented. Acting types are double acting, single-push (MSD), single-pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ, this variant, adding 10/20/30 mm of adjustable travel). Bore 16 strokes run to 50 mm in the table, but keep the base stroke within the short cover rather than over-reaching. No S in this code means no magnet; add it if you need sensing. Pick PT or G thread. Ask us about side-load limits.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
The adjustable 20 mm range accommodates part-to-part variation in a clamp fixture, with 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holding small parts securely.
Pick-and-place indexing
Mount from the top or bottom inside a tight pick-and-place frame; the bumper cushions each end of the transfer stroke.
Adjustable stopper position
Six-way fixing plus the 20 mm adjustable range lets you set stopper travel on a line without swapping cylinders.
FAQ
How does the 20 mm adjustable range work on MDJ16X15-20?
MDJ adjustable-stroke cylinders have a 15 mm base stroke here plus a 20 mm adjustable range (10, 20 or 30 mm are offered) on top, so you can set the effective stroke shorter within that window. The code has no trailing S, so no magnet is fitted; thread is PT by default.
Can I use a long stroke on this small bore?
Bore 16 cylinders are listed up to 50 mm stroke, but an over-long stroke against the short cover is not advisable for stability; keep the stroke suited to the compact body. Confirm dimensions from the datasheet and ask us before applying side-load.
