Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X100-100S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X100-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 100mm 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 MACJ16X100-100S
The MACJ16X100-100S carries a trim window as long as its own travel: the -100 code means the extend stroke can be set anywhere within the full 100 mm ordered travel using an on-site stop screw. It is double-acting with variable air cushions at both ends, built as a round stainless barrel rolled onto aluminium covers, driving a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod through damp or washed-down corners. Output at 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull.
Sizing math: count on roughly 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift near 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Supply pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed reaches 800 mm/s. A magnet is factory-fitted, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop straight onto the barrel.

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 MACJ16X100-100S Is Used
Carton flap tuck
Tucks flaps on cosmetic cartons along a 100 mm reach, trimmed per SKU on the line without swapping the cylinder.
Height-set stop gate
Positions a product stop gate on a bottle filling line; the window lets operators re-height it for each container batch.
Switch-indexed probe
Pairs with CMSG switches to index a 100 mm inspection probe stroke on an electronics test bench.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X100-100S the Right Cylinder?
Weigh it against the fixed-stroke MAC16X100 with cushion: if you never need to retune stroke, the fixed version does the same push at a lower cost, while this one adapts on the machine. Need more muscle? Bore 20 delivers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa in the same family. The adjuster holds the extend end stop only - on air loss the piston drifts, so add a check or lock valve if the load must hang. With a 6 mm rod over 100 mm of travel, keep side loads off the rod and guide the payload externally. FA flange and LB foot mounts, I and Y knuckles, and an M5x0.8 port (the smallest in the range) complete the order.
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 MACJ16X100-100S FAQ
Design values: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Derate to about 60 N of working force for a stable long-term margin.
The rolled stainless tube with aluminium end caps shrugs off washdown mist and mild corrosion that blister painted mini cylinders, while the hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod keeps the seals happy over long duty. Variable air cushions at each end let the 100 mm travel land gently even near the top of the 30-800 mm/s range.
