The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X175-75S 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.
A generous 75 mm of on-machine adjustment makes the MACJ16X175-75S a natural fit for fixture families that share one pocket but need different extend end positions. Push force is 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa with 86.4 N on the pull side, climbing to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa - enough for light eject, feed and clamp duties. Budget roughly 60 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa, which is about a 5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
AirTAC rolls a stainless barrel onto aluminium covers with a stainless block, a riveted round-body construction that tolerates splash and humidity far better than painted mini cylinders. A variable cushion at each end absorbs stop shock across the 30-800 mm/s speed band, and the standard piston magnet drives CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches with no special-order piston. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).

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.

| 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.
Stepping a pallet 175 mm between drill positions on a small transfer unit, the 75 mm window covering several part heights.
Tipping a light carton off a checkweigher belt, where gentle cushioned stops protect the flaps at speed.
Feeding a depth probe into an o-ring groove on a leak station, the stainless body resisting coolant mist.
Bore 16 is the bottom of the MA range, so step up when loads grow: bore 20 reaches 157 N and bore 25 reaches 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The stop screw trims the extend stroke in the field within the 75 mm window; it does not hold position if air is lost, so add a blocking valve for critical holds. FA flange and LB foot mounting cover fixed installs, while I and Y knuckles suit pivoting joints. With 175 mm of travel on a 6 mm rod, watch side load to avoid premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
Bore 16 delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 140.7 N push with 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. The port is M5x0.8, the rod is 6 mm with an M6x1.0 thread, and the extend stroke adjusts across a 75 mm window.
No. Every MA cylinder ships with the magnet already built in, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches drop straight onto the barrel - no special-order piston, no retrofit delay on a 175 mm travel axis.
