Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X30-30
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X30-30 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 MKJ16X30-30
The MKJ16X30-30 is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder with a compact square body that can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side with other cylinders to save space on a machine plate. With a 16 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and a further 30 mm adjustable range, the end position can be set precisely for the job. Running double acting on air filtered to 40 um, it delivers a theoretical push thrust of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, with a bumper cushion at the ends of travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MKJ variant belongs to the MK no-rotating family: a fixed rod and no-rotating plate stop the piston rod from turning, and the SKU carries no magnet. Contact us if you would like dimensions or sizing help confirmed from the datasheet.

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
At 16 mm bore this cylinder gives 100.5 N theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa - enough for light clamping, positioning and stopper duties. Choose MK over MD when the rod must not rotate: a no-rotating plate and fixed rod hold the rod orientation, while the MD family allows rotation. The MKJ adjustable-stroke format adds a 30 mm adjustable range on top of the 30 mm base stroke; bore 16 double-acting cylinders go up to 50 mm, so keep the base stroke short because the cover carries the adjustment. Magnet: this SKU has none; pick the S version if switch slots are to be used. Thread: PT is standard, G is available.
Applications
Jig positioning on fixtures
The adjustable range lets the stop position be set exactly for each fixture, and the no-rotating rod keeps an orientation-sensitive jig element facing the right way.
Indexed dial-table locking
Side-by-side mounting of several 16 mm cylinders around an indexing table lets each station clamp or release without the rod twisting out of alignment.
Orientation-critical part stopper
On a small conveyor gate, the fixed rod stops a flat or keyed part from rotating as it is held, while 6-way fixing fits the tight space beside the belt.
FAQ
What does the -30 after the stroke in MKJ16X30-30 mean?
MKJ is the adjustable-stroke variant. The first 30 is the base stroke in mm and the second 30 is the adjustable range in mm, so the rod position can be trimmed within an extra 30 mm of travel on top of the base stroke.
How many ways can this cylinder be fixed?
The square multi-mount body can be bolted from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can sit side by side to save space. Keep the base stroke short since the cover carries the adjustment, and ask us for datasheet figures on dimensions or allowable side-load.
