The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X15-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 15mm 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.
Short 15 mm strokes with a 10 mm trim window make the MACJ16X15-10S ideal for eject, stamp or index moves where every millimetre counts. It is double-acting, cushioned at both ends, and the extend stop can be re-set in seconds during changeover.
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore produces 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull; up to 140.7 N is available at 0.7 MPa. Construction is a riveted stainless round barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, so it shrugs off coolant mist and mild washdown. The piston magnet comes as standard, letting CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount straight on.

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. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
A crisp 15 mm tap delivers adhesive dots, with the 10 mm window dialled in for consistent dot size.
Flip a light diverter flap between chutes at up to 800 mm/s, cushioned so the flap never slams.
Press test buttons or microswitches with 100.5 N; the standard magnet signals actuation to the controller.
This is the smallest bore in the MA family, so there is no smaller step - if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is light for the job, move to bore 20 (157 N) or 25 (245.3 N). The 10 mm adjuster trims only the extend stroke and holds nothing when air fails. Fit it with an FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y knuckle for linkages, and keep the load axial over the short 15 mm travel.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: push 100.5 N, pull 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa: push 140.7 N, pull 120.9 N. Theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
No. Every MA cylinder ships with the piston magnet built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be added at any time without a special-order piston or extra charge.
