The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X200-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 200mm 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 100 mm trim window is the widest the MA family offers, and the MACJ16X200-100S puts it on a compact round-body barrel: double-acting, adjustable extend stroke, variable air cushion at both ends. The stainless-steel tube with riveted aluminium covers shrugs off splash and condensation that would rust a painted mini, and the hard-chrome 6 mm rod resists wear over its 200 mm travel.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N (140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa), with a theoretical ceiling of 20.5 kgf. Plan the tooling around roughly 60 N of usable push - the piston will also lift about 5 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin. AirTAC builds the magnet in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on. Ports are M5x0.8; the adjuster shortens the extend stroke only and is not a mid-stroke lock.

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.
Set the exact fill-head height on a bottling line by dialing the extend stroke inside the 100 mm window, with the cushion absorbing the stop impact at 100.5 N of push.
A standard magnet pairs with CMSG switches to flag retract on a small-parts picker, while the variable cushion protects the 6 mm rod at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Fine-stroke flap tucking on a case packer, trimmed on the machine instead of reordered: about 60 N of working force is enough for light card and fold tasks.
With only 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, step up to a 20 mm bore (157.0 N push, 131.9 N pull) or a 25 mm bore (245.3 N push, 206.1 N pull) if the load or cycle speed rises. AirTAC's 16 mm MA is already the smallest in the line, so there is no smaller option.
A 200 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod wants external guidance - add a guide or use the FA flange or LB foot mount to keep side load off the barrel, and the standard magnet keeps CMSG sensing available at any set position. The stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere inside the 100 mm window but holds nothing on air loss, so fit a locking valve where the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N and 120.9 N. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Running pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
By up to 100 mm, the full ordered window, using the external stop screw. It shortens the stroke only - it never extends past the ordered 200 mm, and it does not lock the piston if air pressure drops.
