Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X35-20S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X35-20S 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 MDJ16X35-20S
The MDJ16X35-20S is an adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body unit that fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side to save space on crowded machines and fixtures. Its 16 mm double-acting bore produces a theoretical 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, enough for light clamping, indexing and positioning, with a 35 mm stroke and a 20 mm adjustable range. Cushioning is a bumper, and the cylinder runs at 30-500 mm/s.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family; the MK counterpart adds a no-rotating plate when the rod must not turn. Magnet: this SKU includes a built-in magnet, indicated by the trailing S, so position feedback can be picked up from the slots around the body. It operates on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) between -20 and 70 C, and we confirm 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
Match the bore to the load: at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm cylinder gives a theoretical 100.5 N on the push stroke and 86.4 N pulling. Next choose MD (rotation allowed) or MK (no-rotating), then the acting type: double, single push (MSD/MSK), single pull (MTD/MTK), double rod (MDD/MKD) or adjustable stroke (MDJ/MKJ). The 35 mm stroke is within the 50 mm bore-16 double-acting limit, and this J model adds a 20 mm adjustable range; because the body uses short covers, avoid over-long strokes. Keep the S for the magnet, pick PT or G thread (this SKU is PT with an M5x0.8 port), and route any side-load question to us with the datasheet.
Applications
Indexing on conveyors
Fixed from the top or side of a small conveyor, the 35 mm stroke with a 20 mm adjustment advances parts between stops, with the magnet confirming end positions.
Lab and test-rig actuation
Compact side-by-side mounting fits several cylinders on a test bench for repeatable light pressing or release actions of about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa.
Guided part ejection
Used as a small ejector on assembly chutes, the double-acting push knocks finished parts off a nest, and the bumper absorbs the return stroke.
FAQ
Why choose the MDJ16X35-20S over the non-S version?
The trailing S means a magnet is built into the piston, so magnetic switches can detect stroke end positions from the slots around the body. The cylinder otherwise matches the plain MDJ16X35-20: bore 16, 35 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustable range, double acting.
What pressure and force can I expect from this bore?
It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm double-acting bore gives a theoretical 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. Mount the body from any of six directions, and check side-load and exact dimensions from the datasheet before finalising the design.
