Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X60-50S
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X60-50S 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 MKJ16X60-50S
The MKJ16X60-50S is an AirTAC MKJ adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder: double acting, 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke with an adjustable range, and a no-rotating rod. Its compact square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top, bottom) and mounts side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and a bumper cushion. At 0.5 MPa this bore gives about 100.5 N of push-side thrust, enough for light clamping, gating and positioning in tight footprints. Note that the standard bore-16 stroke table tops out at 50 mm and adjustable ranges are normally 10, 20 or 30 mm, so confirm this coded configuration before ordering.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The MK family is the no-rotating version of the MD multi-mount range: a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing stop the piston rod turning, which the standard MD body does not do. The trailing S on this SKU means a magnet is fitted for switch detection. We confirm dimensions, weights and sizing for your exact configuration 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
Choose the 16 mm bore when you need roughly 100.5 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa (the pull side is lower). Pick MK over MD when the rod must not rotate; MD allows rotation. Acting options are double acting (MK), single push (MSK), single pull (MTK), double rod (MKD) and adjustable stroke (MKJ). The standard bore-16 stroke table runs up to 50 mm and adjustable ranges are 10/20/30 mm; this SKU is coded 60 mm plus 50 mm, so confirm availability with us or the datasheet. A long stroke extends the cover beyond the compact body, so avoid over-long strokes where you can. Magnet: this SKU carries the S suffix. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT threads on this SKU; G threads are selectable. Route side-load limits to us.
Applications
Conveyor gate stopper
Fixes to a conveyor frame from any of 6 directions and drives a stopper blade; the no-rotating rod keeps the blade square while the adjustable range fine-tunes the stop position.
Pick-and-place with plate
Carries a gripper or vacuum plate on the fixed rod, so the plate keeps its orientation between pick and place points in a small assembly cell.
Jig clamp with fine adjustment
Bolted side by side along an assembly jig, the adjustable stroke lets one SKU clamp parts of slightly different heights without redesigning the bracket.
FAQ
How do I read the code MKJ16X60-50S?
MKJ means an adjustable-stroke, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder; 16 is the bore in mm; 60 is the stroke in mm; -50 is the adjustable range; the trailing S means a magnet is fitted. Be aware the standard bore-16 stroke table tops out at 50 mm and adjustable ranges are usually 10, 20 or 30 mm, so confirm this coded configuration with us or the datasheet before ordering.
Where does the no-rotating feature actually matter?
A fixed rod and no-rotating plate stop the rod from turning, so plates, stopper blades and brackets stay square through every stroke - something the standard MD body does not provide. Side-load limits and exact dimensions for your stroke come from the datasheet; we can confirm them on request.
