The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X200-20S 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.
Speed without hammering: the MACJ16X200-20S pairs a 20 mm extend-stroke trim window with variable air cushions at both ends, so a fast 200 mm cycle still lands soft on the covers. This is a round-body AirTAC MA mini - stainless barrel, riveted covers, hard-chrome 6 mm rod - built to sit in washdown-prone corners where painted minis bubble and seize.
Delivered force is 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf. Treat about 60 N as the honest working push; vertically that corresponds to roughly 5 kg of lifted mass with a 2:1 margin. Ports are M5x0.8, the magnet is factory-fitted for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing, and the double-acting design strokes at 30-800 mm/s.

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.
Advance a shrink-sleeve applicator head onto the bottle and retract cleanly, trimming head height within the 20 mm window as container sizes change on the line.
Push a guide gate with 100.5 N of force, cushions tuned so the gate seats quietly at cycle speeds near the top of the 30-800 mm/s range.
Seat eyewear hinge pins in a bench fixture using about 60 N of working push, with the cushion removing end-of-stroke shock on delicate acetate frames.
Two sizes bracket this duty: a 20 mm bore (157.0 N push, 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa) when the load creeps up, while 16 mm is the entry point of the series, so nothing smaller exists. If forces look marginal at 0.5 MPa, raising supply toward 0.7 MPa adds roughly 40% more push without changing any hardware.
Set the final position with the stop screw anywhere inside the 20 mm window, remembering it only shortens the extend stroke and cannot hold a load when air is lost. Use the FA flange or LB foot plus external guiding to protect the slender 6 mm rod over 200 mm of travel.
Quick checklist
Yes: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. It is double-acting with a variable cushion and runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
They are independent: the cushion needle meters exhaust near each end to soften deceleration, while the stop screw sets where the extend stroke ends inside the 20 mm window. Together they let you run fast cycles without pounding the aluminium covers.
