Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-30S 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 MACJ16X225-30S
Small frames often need a stroke that is exact, not nominal. The MACJ16X225-30S shortens its 225 mm extend stroke by up to 30 mm via the stop screw, while the double-acting piston and variable air cushions keep the motion controlled. Force at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull, with 140.7 N available at 0.7 MPa.
The 6 mm hard-chrome rod and stainless round barrel shrug off splash and humidity better than painted mini cylinders. Note the adjuster is an end stop only: on air loss the rod can drift, so add a valve or lock if holding matters. M5x0.8 ports, magnet standard.

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 MACJ16X225-30S Is Used
Glue bead dispensing
Presses a dispensing needle onto electronics or hobby joints; the 30 mm trim matches different fixture heights without shims.
Parcel kicker
Diverts small parcels on a sorter take-off; about 60 N of working force suits light polybags and padded envelopes.
Press slide setting
Sets an inner slide position on a small stamping fixture where the exact stop point changes with each die set.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X225-30S the Right Cylinder?
Sizing neighbours: a 20 mm bore gives 157 N push at 0.5 MPa against this model's 100.5 N, and 16 mm is already the smallest bore in the MA family, so upsizing is the only route to more force. Treat 60 N as the practical output and you keep a healthy reserve. Because the rod is only 6 mm over a 225 mm span, side thrust should be taken by external guides, not the rod.
The 30 mm window is set by the external stop screw and shortens the extend stroke only; it will not act as a brake when pressure drops. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, and the standard magnet pairs with EMSG or CMSG switches.
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 MACJ16X225-30S FAQ
Double-acting output is 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa; the 1.0 MPa theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf. The pressure window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, cushioning variable at both ends, and ports are M5x0.8.
A stop screw at the cover caps the extend travel anywhere inside the 30 mm ordered window, so the effective stroke can be shortened on site without swapping cylinders. It is purely a mechanical stop: it never lengthens travel past 225 mm and it does not lock the rod if air pressure is lost. Variable air cushioning at both ends still protects the covers.
