Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ20X5-10
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ20X5-10 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 20 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 157.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ20X5-10
The MDJ20X5-10 is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side to save space. With a 20 mm bore, double-acting operation, a short 5 mm stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range, it delivers about 157.1 N of theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short-throw marking, indexing or clamping where only a few millimetres of travel is needed. Cushioning is a bumper, and magnetic-switch slots surround the body.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. MD is the standard multi-mount family, while the MK family adds a no-rotating plate that stops the rod turning. This SKU has no magnet suffix, so it is built without a magnet; overall dimensions and sizing are per stroke and we confirm them 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
Choose the bore for thrust: this 20 mm bore gives about 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, against 245.4 N for the 25 mm bore. MD lets the rod rotate; MK prevents rotation. Acting options are double acting, single push (MSD), single pull (MTD), double rod (MDD) and adjustable stroke (MDJ). Strokes for the 20 mm bore run up to 60 mm, and this MDJ pairs a 5 mm base stroke with a 10 mm adjustable range - the short covers suit only short strokes, so do not stretch beyond the table. No S suffix means no magnet. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread standard and G optional; send side-load questions to us.
Applications
Short-throw small-parts clamping
Clamp small components that need only a few millimetres of travel: the 20 mm bore gives about 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa over a 5 mm stroke with 10 mm of adjustment.
Indexing pin actuation
Raise and lower an indexing or locking pin in a compact machine station, fixing the square body from the top, bottom or side of the plate as the layout demands.
Test and assembly fixtures
Drive a probe, marker or contact point in a bench fixture where cylinders mount side by side and the adjustable range trims the contact depth exactly.
FAQ
Does the MDJ20X5-10 include a magnet?
No. The code has no trailing S, so this model is built without a magnet. If you need magnetic-switch detection, choose the same cylinder with an S suffix, such as MDJ20X5-10S.
What is the adjustable range on this model?
A 5 mm base stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range on top. That makes it suitable for very short-throw jobs; for longer travel, move up the MDJ stroke table (20 mm bore strokes run to 60 mm) and confirm dimensions from the datasheet.
