Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X10-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X10-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.

About the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X10-10S
A stubby 10 mm stroke and a 10 mm trim window make the MACJ16X10-10S a compact positioner for cramped fixtures. It is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, and an external stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site inside the ordered 10 mm window. The body is a stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium covers, driving a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod that shrugs off washdown mist where painted minis corrode. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N.
Run the numbers before sizing: budget about 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-800 mm/s. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X10-10S Is Used
Fixture pin ejection
Ejects locating pins from shallow pockets in aluminium drill jigs, where the 10 mm trim window matches exact pin rise without shims.
Small-part kick-off
Taps lip-balm cartons or blister cards sideways off a benchtop conveyor at about 60 N of working force, with cushions softening every tap.
Lab valve actuation
Presses a small dosing valve on a filling rig, where the 5 kg vertical-lift class and stainless barrel suit frequent wipe-downs.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X10-10S the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the smallest in the MA range; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels light, step up to bore 20 for 157.0 N. Keep in mind the stop screw fixes the extend end mechanically - it is not a clamp, so the rod will still settle if air is lost. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y rod knuckles if the load pivots, and pick the thread you need: PT as standard, or G and NPT, all on an M5x0.8 port.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X10-10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, plan around 60 N at 0.5 MPa - about 5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The -10 in the code is a 10 mm window: an external stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site within that range. It is a positioning end stop, not a mid-stroke brake, so the rod can still drift if supply pressure drops. Twin variable air cushions at each end absorb the remaining shock.
