The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X100-75S 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.
This MACJ16X100-75S carries the widest trim AirTAC offers at this size: a 75 mm window on a 100 mm extend stroke, double-acting, with a variable air cushion at each end to kill end-of-stroke shock. It delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air.
Under the skin is a riveted stainless barrel and a 20 um hard-chrome rod - a combination that keeps moving smoothly where painted minis corrode. The piston magnet is standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without special orders. Do the math once: about 60 N of practical work at 0.5 MPa, which is close to 5 kg lifted vertically at a 2:1 margin.

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.
| 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.
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Raises and lowers a stop blade on an assembly conveyor to release one component at a time into a downstream fixture.
Advances a small lube nozzle into a stamping die between cycles; the 75 mm window covers different die heights without hardware changes.
Tucks bottom flaps on small cartons ahead of taping, with travel trimmed on the line instead of swapping cylinders.
Sizing check: bore 20 offers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa and bore 25 offers 245.3 N if the 100.5 N class is marginal for you; there is no smaller MA bore than 16. Remember the adjuster is an end stop for the extend stroke, not a load-holding device - unsupported weights will sag if pressure fails. Fit FA flange or LB foot, I or Y knuckles as the linkage demands, and watch rod bending: a 6 mm rod over 100 mm of stroke wants its load guided, not levered.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical peak 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Cycle at 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, trimming the extend stroke within the 75 mm window.
No - every MA-series cylinder leaves the factory with the piston magnet built in as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop straight onto the barrel for position feedback.
