Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X50-20
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X50-20 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 MDJ16X50-20
The AirTAC MDJ16X50-20 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 magnetic-switch slots are provided around the body, though this SKU is ordered without a magnet.
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 -20 code adds a 20 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 -20 code adds a 20 mm adjustable range on the 50 mm stroke; bore 16 double-acting strokes run up to 50 mm in the table. The S suffix orders the magnet option and the thread is PT or G. Keep strokes within the table since the short cover cautions against over-long strokes, and route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Height-adjustable eject
The 20 mm adjustable range lets this 16 mm cylinder eject parts from nests with the throw set to each product variant, all in a side-by-side bank.
Chute diverting
Mounted from the top or side of a narrow conveyor, the compact body pushes parts off a chute with the bumper cushioning the stop.
Workholder positioning
Six-direction fixing suits custom benches where the cylinder clamps or positions light workpieces within a 50 to 70 mm effective travel window.
FAQ
How is MDJ16X50-20 different from the -10 version?
Both are AirTAC MDJ adjustable-stroke, double-acting cylinders with a 16 mm bore and 50 mm base stroke. The -20 code adds a 20 mm adjustable range on top of the stroke, where -10 adds 10 mm; -10, -20 and -30 are the available options. A trailing S would add the magnet.
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.
