Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X25-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X25-10 is a genuine MK 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. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X25-10
This MKJ16X25-10 is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder: a compact square body you can fix from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and line up side by side to save space. The MKJ build is no-rotating and adjustable-stroke: a fixed rod and plate stop the rod turning, and the 25 mm base stroke adds a 10 mm adjustable range for trimming the end position. Double acting on a 16 mm bore, it produces a theoretical 100.5 N push (86.4 N pull) at 0.5 MPa, cushions on a TPU bumper, and runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. Within the range, MD is the standard square body and MK is the no-rotating version with plate, brass bushing and fixed rod - this SKU is MK, so rotation is prevented. There is no trailing S, so it is supplied without a magnet. It operates on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at -20 to 70 C (0-150 C only with the optional high-temperature seal material). Dimensions and sizing are confirmed 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 by thrust: the 16 mm bore delivers a theoretical 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, so stay inside that for reliable cycle loads. MKJ versus MDJ is the core choice - MKJ prevents rod rotation for the MK family, while MDJ (MD family) allows it. Acting is double, giving powered motion both ways. The 25 mm stroke fits the bore 16 table (up to 50 mm), and the -10 suffix adds a 10 mm adjustable range; keep strokes short on this compact body rather than stretching toward its limit. This SKU has no magnet and PT threads on M5x0.8 ports; choose the S suffix for magnet and G for G threads. Side-load figures come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Conveyor gate and divert
Kicks or gates product at a conveyor junction where the prevented rotation keeps the gate plate square to the flow across its 25-35 mm set stroke.
Jig positioning
Positions and seats workpieces in a drill or press jig, with the 10 mm adjustable range dialing in the seat depth and the square body fixing from the top or side.
Light hold-down clamp
Clamps thin panels or brackets during an assembly step, using the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and side-by-side mounting to fit multiple clamps in one row.
FAQ
Why pick the MKJ over a standard MDJ cylinder?
The MKJ is the no-rotating version: a plate, brass bushing and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning, so anything mounted on the rod - a gate, plate or part carrier - stays square. The MDJ is the standard family, where the rod is free to rotate. Both share the same six-direction mounting and side-by-side layout benefits.
How short should the stroke be on this compact body?
Bore 16 cylinders are offered up to 50 mm stroke, but the short cover design means an over-long stroke is a caution point on such a compact body. This model's 25 mm base plus 10 mm adjustment is a comfortable fit; for longer travels or side-load questions, confirm the limits from the datasheet or check with us.
