Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X70-10
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ16X70-10 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 MKJ16X70-10
The MKJ16X70-10 is an AirTAC MKJ adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder: double acting, 16 mm bore, 70 mm stroke with a 10 mm 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, suited to light clamping, gating and positioning in compact machinery. Note that the standard bore-16 stroke table tops out at 50 mm, so confirm this longer coded stroke 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. There is no S suffix on this SKU, so no magnet is fitted; magnetic versions are available under the S option. 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; this SKU is coded 70 mm plus a 10 mm adjustable range, 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: no S on this SKU, so no magnet. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT threads on this SKU; G threads are selectable. Route side-load limits to us.
Applications
Small-parts clamp
Clamps small housings on a machining or assembly fixture; the 6-way fixing lets the cylinder bolt onto whichever fixture face is free.
Parts ejector at a station
Pushes finished parts off a nest at an assembly station; the no-rotating rod keeps the pusher plate aligned with the nest through every stroke.
Slide-and-locate indexing
Positions workpieces between indexing stops on a linear pallet transfer; side-by-side mounting keeps several cylinders inside a narrow rail.
FAQ
What does the code MKJ16X70-10 decode to?
MKJ means an adjustable-stroke, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder; 16 is the bore in mm; 70 is the stroke in mm; -10 is the adjustable range. There is no trailing S, so no magnet is fitted. Note the standard bore-16 stroke table tops out at 50 mm, so confirm this longer coded stroke with us or the datasheet before ordering.
What are the benefits of the multi-mount body in a tight machine?
The square body fixes from 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top, bottom), so it mounts onto whatever face is available, and cylinders sit side by side to save space. Exact overall dimensions for your stroke and any side-load limits come from the datasheet; we can confirm them on request.
