The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X200-40S 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.
Turn the external stop screw anywhere inside a 40 mm window and the MACJ16X200-40S shortens its 200 mm extend stroke to suit the jig, while cushioned air takes the arrival hit at both ends. Double-acting throughout, it develops 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
The riveted stainless round barrel and the hard-chrome plated rod (20 um) shrug off washdown and humid air, an edge painted mini cylinders lose quickly. Plan the work around roughly 60 N at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which equals lifting about 5 kg vertically with margin to spare. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on.

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.
Ejecting sample trays from an autosampler wash station where 100 N at 0.5 MPa is ample and the 40 mm stop window absorbs tray-size changes.
Folding glue flaps on small cosmetic cartons at up to 800 mm/s, with the end cushions keeping the crease quiet.
On a kitting bench, a CMSG switch on the standard magnet confirms the 6 mm rod reached each of the trimmed positions.
Bore 16 is the smallest in the range; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels light, step up to the 20 mm bore for 157 N. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only, so do not rely on it to park a load if air pressure drops - the piston will still drift. Mount it FA (flange) or LB (foot), and keep side loads off the 6 mm rod on this 200 mm stroke by guiding the part externally.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke can be trimmed anywhere within the 40 mm window using the external stop screw, and a variable air cushion at both ends tames the stop.
No - every MACJ16 cylinder ships with the piston magnet fitted as standard, so position feedback with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches needs no special-order piston. Supply clean air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and it will run from -20 to +70 C at 30-800 mm/s.
