Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X175-100S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X175-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 175mm 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 MACJ16X175-100S
Need a small cylinder you can dial in on the machine? The MACJ16X175-100S is a double-acting 16 mm mini with a 100 mm adjustable-stroke window, so one part covers a whole family of stop positions. It pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with cushions at both ends smoothing every stop.
The round stainless barrel, riveted aluminium covers and hard-chrome rod make it a natural in damp or lightly washed-down equipment. There is no magnet surcharge either - it is built in, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Sized honestly, that is about 60 N of working force, or 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 MACJ16X175-100S Is Used
Sample tray lift
Raises small sample trays of roughly 5 kg between bench levels, with the standard magnet and an EMSG switch confirming top-of-stroke each cycle.
Presence-check pinning
Confirms a part is seated before a press cycle by probing with the rod tip; the 100 mm window absorbs layout changes across product variants.
Multi-stop indexing gate
Acts as an indexing gate on a small rotary table feed, where the wide trim band lets one cylinder serve two table diameters without re-ordering.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X175-100S the Right Cylinder?
Stepping up the range: a 20 mm bore pushes 157.0 N and a 25 mm bore 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, if 100.5 N falls short. The 100 mm trim is an extend-side mechanical stop, not a load lock - pressure loss lets the rod move, so support held loads separately. FA flange and LB foot mountings suit fixed frames, while I and Y knuckles suit linkage work. With a 6 mm rod over 175 mm of stroke, run the load on its own guide to avoid bending.
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 MACJ16X175-100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Theoretical peak is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Run it on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.
The variable air cushion at both ends throttles exhaust just before the covers, so the cylinder can close at up to 800 mm/s or stop a heavier tooling mass without hammering the aluminium covers. Set the cushion once and the 100 mm trim range works independently of it.
