Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-50S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-50S 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 MACJ16X150-50S
Trim range widens to 50 mm on this model, letting maintenance shorten the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 150 mm without swapping cylinders. Cushioning is variable at both ends and travel speed spans 30-800 mm/s. This is the 16 mm bore size, good for 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa.
The stainless tube, aluminium covers and stainless block are roll-packed into one sealed round body with no external tie hardware. With margin factored in, plan near 60 N of working force; held to a 2:1 lift margin that is around 5 kg vertical, plenty for small gates and trays. The piston magnet comes as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without special orders.

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 MACJ16X150-50S Is Used
Tray index stop
Positions small parts trays on an electronics kitting line; a 50 mm window absorbs tray size variants and the cushioned stop keeps index noise down on quiet shop floors.
Microplate sampler arm
Dips a light sample probe into microplate wells on a lab bench; about 100 N of push at 0.5 MPa is ample and the stainless body wipes clean after splashy reagents.
Print-head parking stop
Parks a wide-format printer carriage at an adjustable home position, trimmed within 50 mm for different print widths; the magnet feeds a CMSG switch to confirm home.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X150-50S the Right Cylinder?
Compare sizes before ordering: at the same 0.5 MPa supply this bore pushes 100.5 N, while a 20 mm MA bore manages 157.0 N and a 32 mm bore 402.2 N - a big step up for heavier clamps. Port thread on the 16 mm bore is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0; supply spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). FA flange or LB foot mounting, with I/Y knuckles optional.
Because the adjuster sets the extend limit only, treat it as a stop rather than a lock; a dropped air line lets the piston drift. The 6 mm rod over 150 mm of travel has limited bending reserve, so guide any side-loaded workpiece separately and let the cylinder push in pure line thrust. Magnets being standard, sensor feedback via CMSG or EMSG needs no custom piston.
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 MACJ16X150-50S FAQ
Yes: at 0.5 MPa the push is 100.5 N and the pull 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it is 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull; the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working practice is to size loads to about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push, roughly 60 N here.
No. The stop screw only sets where the extend stroke ends; it is not a brake or mid-stroke lock, so with no air pressure the rod can be pushed back. Use a separate clamp or valve for holding. What you do get is standard CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position feedback from the built-in magnet at the trimmed end.
