About the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-40S
Over a 40 mm window the extend stroke of this MACJ16X150-40S can be shortened at the machine without ordering a new cylinder - the screw stop sets where the 150 mm travel ends. It is double-acting with a variable cushion at each end and a 30-800 mm/s speed band, running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N back at 0.5 MPa.
Build quality is where this mini earns its keep: a stainless round tube riveted to aluminium covers, with a hard-chrome plated rod that keeps sliding wear low in damp or dusty shops. Halve the rated push for margin and you can lift about 5 kg vertically - enough for small chucks, caps or sensor fixtures. Every unit ships magnet-on, ready for EMSG reed or DMSG Hall-effect switches.

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 MACJ16X150-40S Is Used
Carton tab folder
Folds small carton tabs on a cosmetic box line; the 40 mm trim window matches different carton depths and the two-end cushion stops tab hammering at line speed.
Belt-line reject gate
Swings a light reject gate on a snack-food conveyor; the stainless barrel handles routine hose-down and the 86.4 N pull returns the gate promptly between products.
Jig clamp for TIG fixtures
Clamps thin brackets in a TIG weld jig where 60 N of practical force is ample; the hard-chrome rod resists staining between wipe-downs in coolant-misted shops.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-40S the Right Cylinder?
If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is not enough for the job, the next MA size up, the 20 mm bore, reaches 157.0 N, and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N - both at the same supply. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), so brief spikes are handled. Porting is M5x0.8 on this bore size; FA flange and LB foot plates, plus I and Y knuckles, cover most fixturing.
The stop screw is a position setter, not a holding brake: without air the rod is free to move, so clamp loads elsewhere where hold matters. On a 150 mm stroke with a 6 mm rod, keep thrust in line with the rod axis and support side loads externally; the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for end-of-travel confirmation.
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 MACJ16X150-40S FAQ
Full set at the 16 mm bore: push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; push 140.7 N and pull 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa; 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Design around roughly 60 N of usable push at the lower pressure for long seal life.
The barrel is stainless steel with rolled aluminium covers, unlike painted-steel minis that chip in wet areas. The 6 mm rod is hard-chrome plated for wear, the magnet is included as standard for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensing, and both ends have a variable cushion you can tune with a screwdriver.
