Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X50-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X50-10S 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 MDJ16X50-10S
The AirTAC MDJ16X50-10S is an adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder that fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side with other cylinders to save space. Its 16 mm bore delivers about 100.5 N theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa in this double-acting format, suiting light clamping and positioning jobs. Cushioning is a bumper, and this SKU includes the magnet so magnetic-switch slots around the body can be used for position sensing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MD standard family, so rod rotation is not prevented; if you need the rod held against rotation, choose the MK family instead. The -10 code adds a 10 mm adjustable range on top of the 50 mm stroke. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um, and ports are M5x0.8 PT as shown. 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
Size the bore to your thrust need: at 0.5 MPa double-acting, a 16 mm bore gives about 100.5 N push (86.4 N on the pull side); step up or down in bore if your load needs more or less. Choose MD when rod rotation is acceptable and MK when it must be prevented. Acting options are double, single-push, single-pull, double rod, or adjustable-stroke as here, where the -10 code adds a 10 mm adjustable range on the 50 mm stroke; bore 16 double-acting strokes run up to 50 mm in the table. Order the S suffix when you need the magnet for switch sensing, as on this SKU, and choose PT or G thread. Keep strokes within the table since the short cover cautions against over-long strokes, and route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Small-parts stopper
With the magnet fitted for switch feedback, the 16 mm cylinder stops or holds small parts on a track, mounted side by side in a tight layout.
Fixture indexing
Six-way fixing lets this cylinder index workpieces in assembly fixtures, with the 10 mm adjustable range trimmed to the fixture height.
Gate actuation
The compact square body slides into chutes and gates where space is limited, and the magnet signals open and closed positions to the controller.
FAQ
Why choose the S version of the MDJ16X50-10?
The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet, so magnetic switches can sense rod position in the slots around the body. Without the S the cylinder is ordered without a magnet. MDJ is the adjustable-stroke variant, so -10 adds a 10 mm adjustable range on the 50 mm stroke.
Where can this cylinder be mounted, and where do I find dimensions?
It fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and sits side by side with other cylinders, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. Keep strokes within the table because the short cover cautions against over-long strokes. Overall dimensions and allowable side-load are stroke-specific, so confirm them from the datasheet or ask us.
