Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X30-10
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X30-10 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 MDJ16X30-10
The MDJ16X30-10 is an AirTAC adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder with a 16 mm bore, a 30 mm base stroke and a 10 mm adjustable range. Its compact square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision that needs no added lubricant. As a double-acting cylinder it gives a theoretical push force of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N on the pull side), runs at 30-500 mm/s and cushions with a bumper. It uses air filtered to 40 um, takes proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and operates from -20 to 70 C.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD family, the standard version where rod rotation is allowed - choose the MK family when the rod must not rotate. The SKU ends without an S, so this unit is supplied without a magnet; trailing-S variants add one. The port is M5x0.8 with PT thread as the default (G optional). Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm exact dimensions and sizing from the datasheet - we can supply it 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 force you need: at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N theoretical push (86.4 N pull) in double acting. MDJ is the adjustable-stroke variant of the standard MD family, where rotation is allowed; pick the MKJ no-rotating version if the rod must stay fixed in orientation. The 30 mm base stroke sits within the bore-16 table (up to 50 mm) and this SKU adds a 10 mm adjustable range for fine trimming; remember the short cover means an over-long stroke should be avoided, so check long-travel picks with us. This SKU has no magnet - add the S suffix if you need sensing. Side-load capability is not stated here - route it to us. Select PT (default) or G thread.
Applications
Workholding stop with fine trim
Act as an adjustable end stop or locator on a workbench or welding table: the 10 mm adjustment trams the stop precisely to the part, with the 16 mm bore absorbing a 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Machine ejection stroke
Eject finished small components from a die or nest, where the 10 mm adjustable range lets operators fine-tune the ejection distance without remachining the mount - the body fixes from all 6 faces.
Multi-cylinder indexing rail
Run several 16 mm units side by side to index pallets along a rail in unison. Side-by-side multi-mounting keeps the pitch tight, and each body bolts from whichever face the rail offers.
FAQ
MDJ16X25-30 and MDJ16X30-10 look similar - how do I choose between them?
Both are 16 mm bore double-acting adjustable-stroke MD cylinders with no magnet. The first has a 25 mm base stroke with a 30 mm adjustment range; the second has a 30 mm base stroke with a 10 mm range. Pick by whether you need more total travel or more fine-trim authority.
Where does the 6-direction fixing matter most, and can I get the dimensions?
It matters wherever only one accessible face exists - side, top or bottom of a machine frame - because the square body bolts from any of the 6 faces and units mount side by side. Exact dimensions depend on stroke and mounting, so confirm them from the datasheet; we can send it on request.
