Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ6X30-10
The AirTAC Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ6X30-10 is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 6 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 14.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MDJ Adjustable Cylinder MDJ6X30-10
The AirTAC MDJ6X30-10 is an adjustable-stroke, double acting multi-mount cylinder with a 6 mm bore, a 30 mm base stroke and a 10 mm adjustable range for fine-setting the end of stroke. Its compact square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side with other cylinders to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. At 0.5 MPa this double acting bore delivers a theoretical push of about 14.1 N at 30-500 mm/s, cushioned by a bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the standard MD family - MK is the no-rotating counterpart in the same square body. This SKU has no magnet suffix, so it is supplied without a magnet, as the code shows. Since overall dimensions vary with stroke and mounting, we confirm exact 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 6 mm bore where thrust demand is light - about 14.1 N push at 0.5 MPa for this double acting cylinder. Stay with MD when some rod rotation is tolerable; choose MK when the rod must not rotate. This MDJ variant combines a 30 mm fixed stroke with a 10 mm adjustable range (10/20/30 mm ranges exist across the series), and double acting bore 6 strokes run up to 35 mm. The short cover cautions against stretching to an over-long stroke, and side-load capability we confirm from the datasheet. This code carries no S, so no magnet; thread is PT by default with G optional, on M5x0.8 ports at this bore.
Applications
Pick-and-place of small components
Drives the vertical drop of a light suction or gripper head on a compact pick-and-place unit. The 30 mm stroke with 10 mm adjustability sets the release point, and 6-way fixing suits the tight Z-axis envelope.
Positioning jigs for electronics assembly
Pushes a locating pin that seats a small PCB or connector into a jig. Side-by-side mounting places several cylinders on one jig plate, each with its own adjusted stroke length.
Part diverter on narrow transfer lines
Kicks light parts off a narrow conveyor into a chute. The compact square body bolts to the line frame from the direction that fits, and the bumper absorbs repeated divert cycles.
FAQ
How does the adjustable stroke work on the MDJ6X30-10?
MDJ cylinders carry a base stroke (30 mm here) plus an adjustable range - 10 mm on this model, with 20 mm and 30 mm ranges also offered - so you can shorten the effective stroke to match the fixture. Confirm the exact overall dimensions for your set stroke from the datasheet.
Can this cylinder take side loads on the rod?
The MD series has high guide precision and a bumper cushion, but it is a compact cylinder, so avoid treating side load as a design figure. The short cover also cautions against over-long strokes. We confirm allowable side-load and stroke-specific dimensions from the datasheet on request.
