About the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-20S
Compact, riveted and stainless: the MACJ16X225-20S is a double-acting 16 mm bore mini with an adjustable extend stroke over a 20 mm band plus a variable cushion at each end. Push force reaches 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; that converts to lifting about 5 kg vertically once you take a 2:1 margin. The operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
The hard-chrome plated steel rod slides in a stainless barrel rolled onto aluminium covers, sealing well against mild corrosion in damp workshops. Every unit ships with the position magnet fitted, ready for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.

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 MACJ16X225-20S Is Used
SMT board push-off
Pushes populated PCBs off an unload conveyor edge; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa clears board and carrier weight easily.
Dial table stopper
Sequences parts on a rotary indexing table, with CMSG switches confirming both end positions of the 225 mm travel.
Vial tray indexing
Advances pharma vial trays one pitch at a time inside a packaging cell; the stainless barrel tolerates frequent wipe-downs.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-20S the Right Cylinder?
Compare before you buy: this 16 mm bore makes 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while a 25 mm bore jumps to 245.3 N push. If your part weighs under 5 kg and needs a vertical lift with margin, this size is enough. Long 225 mm strokes on a 6 mm rod demand clean alignment and external guidance to avoid bending loads.
Stroke trimming happens mechanically inside the 20 mm adjust window; remember the adjuster holds position only while air pressure holds it. Mount via FA flange or LB foot, and the factory-fitted magnet means DMSG or CMSG switches clip on directly.
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 MACJ16X225-20S FAQ
Rated figures: push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, push 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The MACJ16X225-20S runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s with M5x0.8 ports and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
The round barrel is stainless steel and the 6 mm rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel about 20 um thick, so occasional washdown and humidity cause far less trouble than on painted mini cylinders. Aluminium covers are rolled onto the tube for a sealed riveted body; avoid submersion and confirm aggressive chemicals from the datasheet.
