Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X160-50S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X160-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 160mm 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 MACJ16X160-50S
A 16 mm bore that you can tune after installation: the MACJ16X160-50S is double-acting, with an extend stroke trimmed by an external stop screw across a 50 mm window and a variable cushion at each end. At 0.5 MPa it develops 100.5 N of push, enough for light clamping and indexing duty.
AirTAC builds the MA body by rolling aluminium covers and a stainless block onto a stainless tube, with a hard-chrome 6 mm rod that shrugs off washdown and outdoor damp. The magnet comes standard, so DMSG or CMSG switches fit without a special piston. For real sizing, budget about 60 N for the actual job - roughly a 5 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin.

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 MACJ16X160-50S Is Used
Carton gate latching
Snaps a reject gate across a small carton line; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a lightweight flap, and the 50 mm window sets the gate travel exactly.
Bench jig clamping
Clamps thin sheet parts in a manual assembly jig with about 60 N of usable force, while the stainless barrel stands up to coolant mist at the bench.
Sensor-actuated stop pin
Drops a stop pin into a parts path under CMSG switch control, with the 50 mm band letting engineers re-position the pin as the layout changes.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X160-50S the Right Cylinder?
Compared at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore gives 157.0 N and the 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N if you later need more muscle. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for extension only; on air loss the rod can still be pushed back, so add an external support for held loads. Mount via FA flange or LB foot, and note the male rod thread is M6x1.0 with M5x0.8 ports. Keep the load guided - a 6 mm rod over 160 mm of travel does not tolerate side force.
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 MACJ16X160-50S FAQ
Design around 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa those become 140.7 N and 120.9 N, peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air and expect 30-800 mm/s.
No - the magnet is standard on every MA cylinder, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signalling, with no special-order piston required.
