The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X200-10S 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.
Fine positioning in 10 mm steps is the job of the MACJ16X200-10S, a double-acting AirTAC mini cylinder with adjustable stroke and a variable air cushion at each end. Its rolling-packed body - stainless barrel, aluminium covers, chrome-plated 6 mm rod - is riveted into one sealed unit that stays tight in vibration-heavy frames.
Force output sits at 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull on 0.5 MPa air, rising to 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa; the 20.5 kgf theoretical figure is a stress-case number, not a working one. Budget near 60 N for real work, or expect about 5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A grease-storing two-way piston seal keeps the seal lips lubricated across the whole 200 mm stroke, and the built-in magnet feeds CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches as standard.

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.

| 0.5 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.
Register a micro-dosing nozzle above a sample tray and creep it in 10 mm increments until the dispense height is exact, with cushions giving a gentle settle at both ends.
Press a spring-loaded probe block onto PCB test points with about 60 N of controlled force, trimming the engage depth on the fixture instead of remachining it.
Nudge a tracking roller on a narrow conveyor to re-center the belt; the standard magnet and a DMSG switch confirm the set position every cycle.
If 10 mm of trim feels too coarse, note this is already the smallest bore AirTAC makes in the MA range; going larger, a 20 mm bore lifts output to 157.0 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and a 25 mm bore to 245.3 N and 206.1 N.
Mount on the FA flange or LB foot and guide the load externally, because the 6 mm rod on a 200 mm stroke will bend under side load. The stop screw is a position setter for the extend stroke, not a brake - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a locking valve if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
0.5 MPa gives 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull; 0.7 MPa gives 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
A high-precision stainless-steel tube with aluminium-alloy covers rolled and riveted onto it. The carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating, and the heterogeneous piston seal stores its own grease film, which suits damp or lightly washed environments.
