The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X125-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 125mm 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.
Where product sizes differ by only a few millimetres, the -10 window on the MACJ16X125-10S is all the trim you need: set the extend stop anywhere from 115 to 125 mm and lock it. Double-acting piston, variable air cushion at each end, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply and a speed band of 30-800 mm/s.
The two-way piston seal doubles as a grease store, cutting maintenance on this stainless round-body unit. Output is 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa - the vertical-lift view is easier: about 5 kg lifted with a 2:1 margin. The 6 mm rod carries 20 um of hard chrome, and the standard-fit magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches with no 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.
| 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.

| -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.
The 10 mm window soaks up bottle-to-bottle diameter differences on a rotary labeler; 100.5 N holds the label firm while the cushion ends any roller bounce.
Presses a test probe onto contact pads on an electronics bench fixture; about 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa protects fine pads from over-pressing.
Swings a small feeler arm across a parts chute to confirm presence; the magnet reports the flipped state to the PLC through a CMSG or DMSG switch.
This is the entry force class of the MA range; if the load outgrows 100.5 N push / 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, step to bore 20 for 157.0 N / 131.9 N at the same pressure. At a 125 mm stroke the 6 mm rod is the weak link against buckling and side thrust, so support long or overhung loads with external guides rather than the cylinder itself. FA flange and LB foot mounts, plus I and Y knuckles, cover most fixtures. The trim stop is a mechanical end stop for the extend side, not a mid-stroke lock - the rod will settle if pressure disappears.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N and 120.9 N; theoretical peak is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Derate for real work: around 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 5 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin.
The barrel is stainless steel and the aluminium covers are rolled onto it, sealing the body; the 6 mm carbon-steel rod carries 20 um of hard chrome against rust and wear. Operating range spans -20 to +70 C with air filtered to 40 um, so coolants and misty food-plant air are not a problem.
