Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X30-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X30-30S 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 MKJ16X30-30S
The MKJ16X30-30S is an AirTAC multi-mount cylinder whose compact square body can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and placed side by side with other cylinders to save space. The 16 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and 30 mm adjustable range let the end position be dialled in for the task. Running double acting on air filtered to 40 um, it gives a theoretical push thrust of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, cushioned by a bumper at each end of travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MK no-rotating family: a fixed rod and no-rotating plate prevent the piston rod from turning. The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet for use with the switch slots around the body. We can confirm dimensions and sizing details 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
The 16 mm bore provides 100.5 N theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa, suited to light clamping, positioning and stopper work. MK is the choice over MD when rod rotation must be prevented - the no-rotating plate and fixed rod hold orientation. MKJ adds a 30 mm adjustable range on top of the 30 mm base stroke; bore 16 double-acting cylinders reach up to 50 mm, so avoid an over-long base stroke because the cover carries the adjustment. The trailing S means the magnet is included on this SKU; omit S if you do not need position switches. Thread: PT standard, G optional.
Applications
Switch-monitored pick-and-place
The magnet and body slots allow end-of-stroke detection while the no-rotating rod keeps a gripped part oriented through the lift-and-place cycle.
Adjustable jig locating pins
Side-by-side multi-mount fixing packs several 16 mm cylinders along a fixture, and the 30 mm adjustable range trims each locating position to suit the part.
Orientation-locked gate stopper
On a small parts line, the fixed rod stops a flat component turning at the gate while the built-in magnet signals that the stop is fully extended.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MKJ16X30-30S mean?
The trailing S means this cylinder is supplied with a magnet, so pneumatic switches can be detected in the slots around the body. Without the S, the cylinder is supplied without a magnet - magnet is an option, not a fixed feature.
How does the no-rotating feature work on this MK cylinder?
A fixed rod and a no-rotating plate in the MK construction stop the piston rod from turning, so mounted tooling keeps its orientation. Confirm allowable side-load and per-stroke dimensions from the datasheet before loading the rod laterally.
