The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X160-75S 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.
The MACJ16X160-75S pairs AirTAC's riveted stainless mini body with a wide trim band in the small-bore line: 75 mm of on-site stroke adjustment plus a variable air cushion at both ends. It is double-acting throughout, delivering 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N back at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa.
That cushion matters at speed - up to 800 mm/s - because it lets a light 16 mm cylinder stop heavier tooling without hammering the covers. With the magnet built in as standard, CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap on for position feedback. For sizing, treat about 60 N as the usable push, or around 5 kg of vertical lifting with a safety 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.
| 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.

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.
Fires finished small parts off an assembly counter into a bin, with the cushion keeping the 160 mm kick quiet even at high cycle rates.
Sets stop positions on a rotary small-parts turret; the 75 mm band covers several product sizes from one cylinder, and EMSG switches confirm each stop.
Extends a light guide slide on a filling bench, where the stainless round body resists splashes and the 160 mm stroke reaches across the work zone.
If this bore feels light, the next sizes up push 157.0 N (20 mm) and 245.3 N (25 mm) at 0.5 MPa. The stop screw shortens extension only - it will not lengthen travel past 160 mm, nor hold position if air is lost, so support any parked load externally. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting and I or Y rod knuckles where a floating joint helps. A 75 mm window means you can fixture the cylinder loosely and dial the exact stop later.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull is 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Its barrel is stainless steel and the 6 mm rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um, while the aluminium covers are rolled on with a sealed stainless block - a build that resists mild corrosion in damp food or outdoor spots far better than painted-steel minis.
