Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X60-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X60-30S 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 MDJ16X60-30S
AirTAC's MDJ series is an adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body air cylinder that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side to save space on the machine frame. This MDJ16X60-30S is double acting, with a 16 mm bore, a 60 mm main stroke and a 30 mm adjustable range on top of it, giving about 100.5 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa. Cushioning is a bumper, and the magnetic-switch slots around the body support position sensing with high guide precision.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MD family is the standard multi-mount design where rod rotation is allowed; the MK family is the separate no-rotating version with a fixed rod and plate. The trailing S on this SKU means the cylinder is supplied WITH a magnet, which is an option on this series. Overall dimensions depend on the stroke, so we confirm them and any sizing details from the AirTAC 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 the thrust you need: a 16 mm double-acting bore delivers about 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N on the pull side). Choose MD if rod rotation is acceptable or MK if the rod must not turn. Acting choices are double (MD/MK), single push (MSD/MSK), single pull (MTD/MTK), double rod (MDD/MKD) and adjustable-stroke (MDJ/MKJ), which add a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range to the main stroke. Order the magnet with the trailing S; port thread is PT by default or G on request. Note the standard stroke table for a 16 mm bore tops out at 50 mm, so confirm this longer stroke against the datasheet before ordering; keep strokes short where the covers limit travel, and route side-load questions to us.
Applications
Small-parts clamping
Clamp small components in assembly and machining fixtures, where the 16 mm bore and compact square body let several cylinders sit side by side in a tight clamp pattern.
Compact pick-and-place
Drive short vertical lift-and-lower moves for small parts, with the 30 mm adjustable range trimming the stroke to match the part height exactly.
Fixture positioning on lines
Position jigs and stops along a conveyor or dial table, fixing the cylinder from the top, side or rear of the frame to suit the layout.
FAQ
What does the code MDJ16X60-30S actually mean?
MDJ is AirTAC's adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder (double acting, standard MD family). 16 is the bore in mm, 60 is the main stroke, 30 is the 30 mm adjustable range added on top, and the trailing S means the cylinder is built WITH a magnet. No trailing G means the port thread is PT; ports on this bore are M5x0.8.
Can I mount this cylinder from any face, and are there stroke limits?
Yes - the square body can be fixed from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom), and cylinders mount side by side to save space. Keep in mind the standard stroke table for a 16 mm bore tops out at 50 mm, so confirm this model's longer stroke, overall dimensions and any side-load limits from the datasheet before designing it in.
