Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X60-20S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X60-20S 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 MDJ16X60-20S
The AirTAC MDJ16X60-20S is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and installed side by side to save space on machines where every millimetre counts. Its 16 mm double-acting bore gives a theoretical push force of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, well suited to light clamping and positioning, and a bumper cushions the piston at the end of travel. The adjustable-stroke design adds a 20 mm adjustment range over the base stroke, giving wider on-machine setting latitude than the 10 mm version.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family (rod rotation is not prevented - the MK family is the no-rotating option). The trailing S means a magnet is included for switch detection in the slots around the body. It runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with M5x0.8 PT ports, and 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
Match the bore to the force needed: 16 mm gives 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N pull); move to 20 or 25 mm for heavier loads. MD lets the rod rotate; MK prevents rotation. Acting types span double, single push, single pull, double rod and adjustable-stroke, with 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable ranges on the J codes - this model carries the 20 mm range. Keep the S suffix for the magnet or drop it if sensing is not needed; PT thread is standard, G optional. The bore 16 stroke table tops out around 50 mm, so confirm this 60 mm stroke plus any side-load requirement from the datasheet with us before ordering.
Applications
Fixture clamping with feedback
The fitted magnet confirms clamp position on fixtures where side-by-side 16 mm cylinders hold small parts.
Pusher and gate actuation
The 20 mm adjustable range sets pusher travel precisely, with 6-way body fixing to suit compact conveyor layouts.
Setup-variable positioning
Bumper cushioning plus a wide 20 mm adjustment range suits stations where product sizes change between runs.
FAQ
Why choose the -20S version over the -10S?
Both are 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke adjustable-stroke cylinders with a magnet. The difference is the adjustment range: this -20S code adds 20 mm of on-machine stroke setting versus 10 mm on the -10S, useful when the stop position must be set over a wider span. Both share the same 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa.
Is a 60 mm stroke normal for a 16 mm bore?
The standard bore 16 stroke table tops out around 50 mm, and the short cover design of these cylinders cautions against over-long strokes. This 60 mm stroke code is listed and orderable, but confirm it against the datasheet, along with any side-load figures and exact dimensions, with us before finalising your design.
