Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-10S 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 MACJ16X225-10S
A 16 mm bore round-body mini cylinder in a riveted stainless barrel, the MACJ16X225-10S gives double-acting push with a 10 mm on-site window for trimming the extend stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N, so roughly 60 N is a sensible target for the real job. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you soften landings while running anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Corrosion resistance comes from the stainless tube and the hard-chrome plated rod, an advantage over painted minis in humid or washdown spots. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without special ordering, and the ports are M5x0.8.

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 MACJ16X225-10S Is Used
Lab sample slide
Advances microplate racks 225 mm between washer and reader stations in a small analytical lab, cushioned at both stops.
Bottle reject gate
Kicks underfilled 50 ml bottles off a beverage filler line; the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is ample for light PET containers.
Tea box flap tuck
Tucks side flaps on small cartons, where the 10 mm trim dial absorbs flap tolerance differences between batches.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-10S the Right Cylinder?
Needing more muscle than this 16 mm bore? The 20 mm MA unit reaches 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, nearly 1.6x this cylinder's 100.5 N. For light gates and sensor pushers, stay here and budget about 60 N of true working force. With a 225 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod, keep side loads off the rod and guide the payload externally.
The stop screw sets a shorter extend stroke inside the 10 mm window; it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the rod will settle if air is lost. Pick FA flange or LB foot mounting, add I or Y knuckles if the joint needs them, and rely on the standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switching.
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 MACJ16X225-10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm piston pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N, and theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, ports M5x0.8, rod thread M6x1.0, with a variable cushion at both ends.
Yes. Every MA-series cylinder leaves the factory with the piston magnet installed, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount straight onto the barrel. Variable air cushioning at both ends is likewise part of the MACJ design, softening stops at any speed within 30-800 mm/s.
