Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-100S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 150mm 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 MACJ16X150-100S
Long travel at light force is where this MACJ earns its place: a 150 mm extend stroke with a 100 mm adjustment window lets you tune the end of stroke anywhere the machine needs it, cushioned by a variable air damper at each end. Double-acting, it pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa while running 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Corrosion resistance comes from the stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod, a real edge over painted steel minis in damp, food or outdoor cells. The magnet is built in at no extra cost, dropping straight onto CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switch rails for position feedback.

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 MACJ16X150-100S Is Used
Blister pack diverter
A 150 mm cross-push that sweeps blister packs from one lane to a reject lane, with the 100 mm window letting engineers retune the gate after line changes.
Reagent tray indexing
Positioning reagent trays in lab automation, where the stainless barrel tolerates routine wipe-downs and the built-in magnet drives a CMSG switch per station.
Small carton kicker
Flicking light parcels off an infeed conveyor at up to 800 mm/s, cushioned at both ends so the kick does not hammer the covers.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-100S the Right Cylinder?
At 150 mm of travel the slender 6 mm rod is side-load sensitive, so guide the load externally or fit an I or Y rod knuckle rather than letting the rod carry a cantilevered part. For heavier duty the 20 mm bore reaches 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm window means on-site trimming without reordering, but remember the stop screw only sets the extend limit and will not lock the piston against air loss. Match FA flange or LB foot mounts to your frame.
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 MACJ16X150-100S FAQ
The 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s.
The variable air cushion at both ends is adjustable, so you can bleed in more deceleration for fast or heavier moves and protect the aluminium covers from end-of-stroke shock. That lets this long-stroke mini run closer to its 800 mm/s ceiling without hammering.
