Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X70-10
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ16X70-10 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 MDJ16X70-10
AirTAC's MDJ series is an adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder: a compact square-body air cylinder that fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounts side by side to save space where a tie-rod cylinder would not fit. This MDJ16X70-10 is double acting, with a 16 mm bore, a 70 mm main stroke and a 10 mm adjustable range on top of it, producing about 100.5 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa. Cushioning is a bumper, and magnetic-switch slots around the body give 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. This SKU has no trailing S, so it is built WITHOUT a magnet - the magnet remains an optional extra on the series. Overall dimensions depend on the stroke, and we confirm them 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
Size the bore to the load: a 16 mm double-acting bore gives about 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N pulling). Choose MD when rod rotation is acceptable and MK when it must be prevented. Acting options run from double (MD/MK) through single push (MSD/MSK), single pull (MTD/MTK) and double rod (MDD/MKD) to adjustable-stroke (MDJ/MKJ) with a 10, 20 or 30 mm adjustable range added to the main stroke. A magnet is ordered with the trailing S and left out without it; thread is PT by default or G on request. The standard stroke table for a 16 mm bore tops out at 50 mm, so confirm this longer stroke from the datasheet before ordering; favor the shortest stroke the job allows, and send side-load questions to us.
Applications
Jig positioning
Advance and retract locating pins in drill and weld jigs, fixing the cylinder to the top, side or bottom face of the jig body as the layout demands.
Gate and stopper action
Raise and lower a small gate or product stopper on a conveyor line, with the 10 mm adjustable range fine-tuning the travel to the stopper height.
Indexing mechanisms
Push an indexing pawl or ratchet on a small rotary table, where several cylinders can be mounted side by side along the machine frame.
FAQ
How do I choose between a 10 mm and 30 mm adjustable range on an MDJ cylinder?
The number after the hyphen is the extra adjustable range added on top of the main stroke - 10, 20 or 30 mm on MDJ. MDJ16X70-10 gives a 70 mm main stroke plus 10 mm of fine adjustment, which suits setups needing only small trim; pick the range that covers the travel variation in your fixture. Confirm final dimensions from the datasheet.
Does this cylinder come with a magnet, and where can it be mounted from?
This SKU (MDJ16X70-10) has no trailing S, so it is built without a magnet; add the S suffix if you need one for switch sensing. The square body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and cylinders can sit side by side. Since the standard stroke table for a 16 mm bore tops out at 50 mm, confirm this longer stroke, its dimensions and side-load limits from the datasheet.
