Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X45-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X45-10S 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 MDJ16X45-10S
The MDJ16X45-10S is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder, a compact square-body actuator that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side to save space. This double-acting unit has a 45 mm stroke with an added 10 mm adjustable range for fine-tuning the end of travel. At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore delivers about 100.5 N of theoretical push, and the cushion is a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD family, the standard version that allows rod rotation; the MK family is the no-rotating alternative. The trailing S shows this SKU carries a magnet, so the switch slots around the body can be used for position sensing with a suitable switch. We confirm exact 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
Pick the 16 mm bore where its roughly 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa meets your load. MD allows rod rotation; choose MK when the rod must not turn. Acting type here is double acting with adjustable stroke: 45 mm base stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range, within the bore's stroke table. The S suffix means a magnet is fitted for switch-based position sensing. Thread is PT, with G available. The short covers caution against an over-long stroke; ask us to check side-load against the datasheet.
Applications
Pallet-sensor fixture
Mount the cylinder beside a pallet lane and use the magnet with body switches to confirm the stopper is fully extended or retracted.
Pick-and-place lift
Fix the body from below a compact pick station, lifting small parts with an adjustable stroke end position confirmed by the magnet.
Workholder positioning
Cluster cylinders side by side in an assembly fixture, each adjusted to its own travel and monitored through its switch slots.
FAQ
What is the difference between MDJ16X45-10S and MDJ16X45-10?
Only the magnet. The S suffix on this SKU means a magnet is fitted, so switches can sense piston position in the slots around the body; the version without S is supplied without a magnet. Bore, stroke, adjustable range, thread and acting type are identical.
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation?
Yes. The multi-mount square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), and units can sit side by side to save space. Exact overall dimensions depend on stroke and come from the datasheet, as does any allowable side-load.
