The AirTAC AirTAC MA16X80SCA Mini Cylinder 16x80 CA Pivot 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.
A compact 16 mm bore double-acting round-body mini cylinder with an 80 mm stroke, the MA16X80SCA pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa - enough to lift about 5 kg vertically on a 2:1 margin, or to plan roughly 60 N of real work. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s, and fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the rod at both ends of travel (a deceleration pad, not an adjustable cushion - that belongs to the MAC family). The riveted stainless-steel barrel and 6 mm hard-chrome-plated rod shrug off moisture and mild washdown where painted minis swell and flake, making this a natural fit for damp benches and food-area tooling. A magnet is built into the piston as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG reed switches drop straight onto the barrel, and the CA pivot back cover gives you a rear clevis eye for swinging linkages without an extra bracket.

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.
A short-stroke placer that lifts capped sample vials of about 4-5 kg off a pharma bench conveyor, sized on the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa with margin.
Swinging a light gate blade across a 80 mm slice of conveyor to divert cosmetic bottles or blister packs into a reject chute.
Pressing snap-fit lids onto small clamshell trays at end-of-line packing, where the fixed bumper pads take the hit at the bottom of each 80 mm stroke.
At 16 mm this is the smallest bore in the MA range, so if the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa falls short of your load, step up to the MA20 (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) rather than over-pressurising. For plan the work at about 60 N rather than the full rating. Note that a plain MA does not lock position: cut the air and the rod drifts, so pilot a check valve or add a rod lock if the load must stay put. The 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order barrel is needed. Match the CA pivot rear eye to an SDB pivot bracket or rod knuckle (I/Y type) if the joint must swing; FA flange or LB foot mounts suit fixed frames instead. Switch selection: any CMSG / DMSG / EMSG magnet sensor fits out of the box.
Quick checklist
It is double acting. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The CA pivot back cover puts a clevis eye directly on the rear of the riveted round body, so the cylinder can swing in a linkage without extra brackets. Because the magnet is fitted as standard, CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clamp onto the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signalling - no special-order piston required.
