Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-100S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 225mm 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.

About the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-100S
Almost half of this cylinder's 225 mm stroke is tunable: the MACJ16X225-100S carries a 100 mm extend-trim window, the widest in the small-bore MA adjustable range, so one actuator can serve several part sizes. It is double-acting with a variable air cushion at each end, producing 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
A stainless round barrel riveted to aluminium covers and a 20 um hard-chrome rod give it washdown and outdoor durability that painted minis lack. Budget about 60 N of real push at 0.5 MPa - in lifting terms, around 5 kg vertical with margin. The piston magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches attach without ordering options.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-100S Is Used
Pallet-label kicker
Kicking a label applicator arm across pallet corners at a dock, where the 100 mm window absorbs different pallet stack heights.
Bakery tray stacker
Lifting empty dough trays one at a time on a rack loader, where roughly 5 kg of vertical capacity per cycle fits the job.
Booth interlock latch
Driving a washdown booth interlock latch, relying on the stainless barrel and chrome rod to survive daily hose-downs.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-100S the Right Cylinder?
When 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is not enough, the 20 mm bore of the same family offers 157 N; nothing smaller than 16 mm exists in the range. The stop screw is an extend-side end stop, not a load brake - with air lost, the rod can still be pushed back. Mount on FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y knuckles if the linkage needs them, and on a 225 mm stroke keep side loads off the slim 6 mm rod.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push. Theoretical maximum 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 225 mm with a 100 mm extend trim window, variable cushions at both ends, 30-800 mm/s speed, on air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Neither is a lock. The variable air cushion softens deceleration near each end, and the stop screw simply shortens the extend stroke mechanically; if air pressure fails, the rod can drift. For positive holding, add an external lock or a valve-based holding circuit.
