Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X50-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X50-10 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 MKJ16X50-10
The MKJ16X50-10 is a compact no-rotating multi-mount cylinder from AirTAC with a 16 mm bore, a 50 mm stroke and a 10 mm adjustable-stroke range. The square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and cylinders can be mounted side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots machined around the body. As a double-acting cylinder it runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, delivers a theoretical push force of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and cushions with a bumper. High guide precision is built in with no added lubricant required.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the MK family, where a no-rotating plate, bushing and fixed rod stop the piston rod from turning - the MD family is the standard type where rotation is acceptable. This SKU is supplied without the magnet option; choose an S-suffix model if you need position-detection switching. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread. Exact dimensions and sizing details 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
Bore sets the force: at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push (86.4 N pull) in double-acting use; step up to 20 or 25 mm if you need more. MK means the no-rotating plate prevents the rod from turning - pick MD if rotation is acceptable. This is a J-type adjustable model: a fixed 50 mm stroke plus a 10 mm adjustable range on top (20 and 30 mm ranges are also offered). Stroke on a 16 mm bore runs up to 50 mm, and the short covers reward keeping the stroke modest rather than over-long. The magnet is an S-suffix option (absent on this SKU); thread is PT as standard with G available. Side-load limits and exact dimensions come from the datasheet - ask us.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
Clamp small machined or molded parts on a fixture where the square body fixes from 6 directions and the no-rotating rod holds the clamp pad square to the part.
Jig positioning
Position and locate workpieces in assembly jigs; the adjustable stroke lets you fine-tune the final stop point without reworking the fixture, and units mount side by side on tight tooling plates.
Indexing stopper
Use as a stopper or indexing pin on a small indexing dial or pallet line, where the fixed rod and plate stop rotation and the bumper cushions each index cycle.
FAQ
What does the '-10' at the end of MKJ16X50-10 mean?
It is the adjustable-stroke range. This J-type cylinder has a fixed 50 mm stroke, and the '-10' adds a 10 mm adjustment on top of it, so the effective stroke can be set between 50 and 60 mm. The same model is also offered with 20 mm and 30 mm adjustable ranges.
Can the piston rod rotate on this cylinder?
No. The MK family adds a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod that stop the rod from turning, which is why it suits clamp pads and stopper plates that must stay square. If rod rotation is acceptable in your layout, the standard MD family is the equivalent choice.
