Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X30-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X30-30S 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 MDJ16X30-30S
The MDJ16X30-30S is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can be mounted side by side to save space. This adjustable-stroke double acting version has a 16 mm bore and 30 mm base stroke with a 30 mm adjustable range, delivering a theoretical push force of about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, with a bumper cushion for end-of-stroke deceleration.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MD standard family (rotation of the rod is not prevented - choose the MK family for no-rotating). The trailing S shows this SKU comes with a magnet for magnetic-switch detection; magnet versions are optional, not standard. We confirm overall dimensions and sizing from the 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
Bore sets your force: a 16 mm bore gives a theoretical push force of about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa in double acting use. Choose MD for a standard cylinder where rod rotation is acceptable, or MK if rotation must be prevented. The MDJ adjustable-stroke variant adds a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range on top of the base stroke; bore 16 double acting strokes run up to 50 mm, so keep the total within that table - the short body cover means an over-long stroke should be avoided.
This SKU is the -30 adjustable range with magnet (trailing S); without-magnet versions carry no S. Thread is PT as standard, with G available on request. Side-load capability and exact dimensions depend on the stroke - confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Clamp small components in assembly fixtures where the 16 mm bore's ~100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa is enough, and the magnet supports position feedback at each end of the adjustable stroke.
Jig positioning
Position workpieces in drilling or welding jigs, bolting the square body from any of 6 directions so multiple cylinders sit side by side in a tight jig footprint.
Gate and stopper actuation
Extend and retract a gate or stopper on a light parts line, using the adjustable stroke to fine-tune the stop position and the magnet for switch-based confirmation.
FAQ
Does the MDJ16X30-30S include a magnet?
Yes. The trailing S in the model code means this SKU is supplied with a magnet, which allows magnetic-switch detection in the slots around the body. Magnet versions are an optional choice - models without a trailing S are supplied without a magnet.
How can I mount this cylinder?
The multi-mount square body can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can be mounted side by side to save space. Because the cover is short, avoid specifying an over-long stroke; confirm overall dimensions from the datasheet.
