About the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X175-50S
With a 50 mm trim range on its extend stroke, the MACJ16X175-50S lets you dial in the exact end position on the machine without swapping cylinders. Bore 16 delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi supply range), rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa - a class suited to light eject, feed and clamp work. In practice, plan for about 60 N of usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The body is a stainless round tube rolled onto aluminium alloy covers, a riveted build that shrugs off washdown and damp air far better than painted minis; the 6 mm rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel. Variable air cushions at both ends soak up stop shock at speeds from 30-800 mm/s, and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) with filtered air to 40 um.

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 MACJ16X175-50S Is Used
Small-part ejector
Kicking finished connectors off a machining fixture at up to 800 mm/s, with the 50 mm window tuned per part family.
Lab dosing slide
Pushing a reagent tray 175 mm into an analytical washer, where the stainless barrel survives daily rinse-down.
Light gate latch
Sliding a weighing-station gate shut on a checkweigher, with the air cushion removing the clunk at each end.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X175-50S the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the smallest bore in the MA series, so the only sizing move is upward: bore 20 reaches 157 N and bore 25 reaches 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa if the load creeps past about 60 N. The external stop shortens the extend stroke only within the ordered 50 mm window; it is not a mid-stroke lock, so on air loss the rod still drifts. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, and add I or Y rod knuckles where the joint must pivot. At 175 mm of travel on a 6 mm rod, keep side loads minimal to protect the bearing surfaces.
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 MACJ16X175-50S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the MACJ16X175-50S pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 120.9 N; theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Ports are M5x0.8, the 6 mm rod thread is M6x1.0, and the extend stroke trims over a 50 mm window.
The variable air cushion is adjustable at both ends, so you can soften landings when running faster or carrying heavier light loads - useful across the full 30-800 mm/s speed band. The trim stop sets the extend end point; it never replaces a proper end-of-stroke cushion.
