About the Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X5-10S
The MDJ16X5-10S is an AirTAC MD-series adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body unit fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - that can sit side by side to save space. Its 16 mm bore with a short 5 mm stroke plus 10 mm of adjustment suits small, precise moves, delivering about 100.5 N of theoretical push at 0.5 MPa on the push side (86.4 N on the pull side) with a bumper for cushioning. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard version where the rod may rotate; the MK family adds a no-rotating plate for when it must not. This SKU carries the S suffix, so a magnet is built in, and magnetic-switch slots surround the body. 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 bore for thrust: 16 mm gives about 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa double acting. MD permits rod rotation while MK prevents it - this MDJ suits applications where rotation is acceptable and fine stroke control matters. The 5 mm base stroke sits well within the bore 16 table limit of 50 mm, and the J adds a 10/20/30 mm adjustable range (10 mm here). The S suffix means the magnet is included, so switch detection is ready; choose the unsuffixed version if not needed. Thread is PT by default with G available. The short covers favour compact, modest-stroke stations - do not stretch to an over-long stroke, and send side-load questions to us.
Applications
Pick-and-place nudging
Pushes small parts off a nest or into a pick position on a light automation line, with the magnet confirming cylinder position to the controller.
Small-parts clamp
Clamps tiny components during an assembly or marking step, where 5 mm of travel and the 10 mm adjustment hold parts square to the tool.
Reject gate stopper
Ticks a short stopper in and out on a miniature conveyor, mounted from any of the six body faces and monitored through the built-in magnet.
FAQ
How much push force does the 16 mm bore of MDJ16X5-10S produce?
At 0.5 MPa this double acting bore gives about 100.5 N on the push side and 86.4 N on the pull side. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, so thrust scales with supply pressure.
Is the stroke length a fit risk in a compact station?
The covers on this series are short, so cylinders are designed for compact, modest-stroke use. The base stroke here is 5 mm plus a 10 mm adjustable range; for exact body dimensions at your setting, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
