The AirTAC Airtac MA Mini Cylinders MA16X80SU is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Slim, sealed and corrosion-tolerant, the MA16X80SU wraps an 80 mm stroke around a 16 mm bore in a riveted stainless-steel round barrel that rides out splash and humid shop air far better than painted minis. Push reaches 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa against 86.4 N on retract - ample for gates, detectors and light part handling.
The rod extends and retracts under air power (double acting), with fixed anti-impact bumper pads easing both stroke ends rather than any adjustable cushion, which is MAC-series territory. A magnet sits in every piston as standard, so mounting a CMSG or EMSG switch costs nothing extra at ordering. Plan the job at about 60 N of usable push and the small barrel will raise a 5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 margin in hand.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.

| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Flicks off-weight packs out of a food-grade weighing line; the stainless barrel stands up to daily washdown.
Opens an 80 mm bead window; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa slides the gate smoothly anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band.
Feeds sample trays one position per command; the M5x0.8 ports suit narrow instrument decks and short tubing runs.
For pushes under about 60 N this 16 mm bore is the right size; heavier duty points to the 20 mm bore at 157.0 N or the 25 mm at 245.3 N, both at 0.5 MPa. An 80 mm rod on a 6 mm pin should ride in a guide bushing whenever the load wants to tilt. The SU flat end covers face-mount to a bracket, M5x0.8 ports keep the plumbing light with an M6x1.0 rod thread, and because the piston floats when air is cut, fit a pilot check valve wherever the load must stay parked.
Quick checklist
This 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The port is M5x0.8, the rod is 6 mm with an M6x1.0 male thread, and 80 mm is a standard stroke inside the 500 mm series limit.
Each end carries a fixed anti-impact pad that decelerates the piston as it nears the cover, cutting noise and metal-to-metal shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s. It is not an adjustable cushion - the MAC series provides that - and it never locks the rod in place.
