Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X30-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X30-10S 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 MDJ16X30-10S
The MDJ16X30-10S is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder with a 16 mm bore, a 30 mm stroke and a further 10 mm adjustable-stroke range. Its body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can be bolted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body and high guide precision that needs no added lubrication. Double acting with a bumper cushion, it gives about 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD standard family, not the no-rotating MK family, and the trailing S in the code means the magnet is fitted for switch detection. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and the temperature range is -20 to 70 C, extendable to 0-150 C with the optional high-temperature seal material. Overall dimensions vary with stroke, so confirm 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
Bore 16 in this double acting MD family delivers 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N on the pull side), so size the bore to your load and step up to 20, 25 or 32 mm if you need more. Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable and MK if rotation must be prevented; acting options are double, single push, single pull, double rod or adjustable stroke. Bore 16 strokes run to 50 mm, and this MDJ version adds a 10/20/30 mm adjustable range on top of the fixed stroke - keep the stroke short, because the covers are compact and an over-long stroke is best avoided. Order with the S suffix for a magnet and PT (default) or G thread; ask us about side loads and datasheet sizing.
Applications
Jig positioning on fixtures
Locating jigs and clamping fixtures on a compact assembly base: the 16 mm bore pushes about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, and the square body fixes from any of six directions so cylinders mount side by side where round bodies will not fit.
Small-parts clamping
Holding small parts during a machining or assembly step: the 30 mm stroke with a 10 mm adjustable range lets you fine-tune grip position, and the bumper cushion stops the clamp jaw slamming home.
Compact pick-and-place
A short horizontal push or retract in a compact pick-and-place head: the magnet in this version carries position switches in the body slots, and the 6-way mounting lets the cylinder sit flush between neighbouring axes.
FAQ
What does the MDJ16X30-10S code mean?
MDJ is the adjustable-stroke member of AirTAC's standard MD multi-mount family (double acting, rod rotation allowed). 16 is the bore in mm, 30 the fixed stroke, and -10 adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top. The trailing S means a magnet is fitted; no S would mean no magnet, and no G means PT thread as standard.
How is the cylinder mounted, and what about side loads?
The square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units sit side by side to save space, with switch slots around the body. Permissible side load and exact dimensions per stroke are not quoted here; confirm them from the datasheet, which we can provide on request.
