Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X30-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X30-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm 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 MACJ16X30-10S
Tight panels and compact jigs rarely leave room for a full-size actuator, and the MACJ16X30-10S answers with a 30 mm stroke on a 16 mm stainless barrel that trims down to about 20 mm of extend via its 10 mm adjustment window. Running double-acting with variable cushions at each end, it produces 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N back at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N forward at 0.7 MPa. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Size the job at about 60 N of sustained output at 0.5 MPa, which covers lifting roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Because the riveted body pairs a stainless tube with a hard-chrome plated rod, splash zones in bottling cells and washable fixtures treat it far better than painted minis. The magnet installed as standard accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches right out of the box.

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 MACJ16X30-10S Is Used
Capping head lift on a bench filler
Trimming the 30 mm extend stroke inside the 10 mm window lets the capping head kiss each bottle at exactly the same height, and the variable cushions keep glass from taking any shock.
Tool crib drawer ejector
About 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa pops heavy drawer fronts open on cue; the stainless body tolerates the coolant mist common around machine shop storage.
Kicker arm on a PCB depaneling conveyor
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa flicks finished panels off the belt, and with the magnet standard a CMSG switch confirms the arm is home before the next board arrives.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X30-10S the Right Cylinder?
When 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa runs short, the MACJ20 (157.0 N at 0.5 MPa) is the next rung, and the MACJ25 nearly doubles the effort again at 245.3 N. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, and add I or Y knuckles for swing links. Keep in mind the adjuster is only an extend-stroke end stop - it will not lock the rod against a load if pressure is lost. For a short stroke like this, precise flange alignment matters more than rod bracing.
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 MACJ16X30-10S FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N and 120.9 N, with a 20.5 kgf theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
The ordered 30 mm stroke trims anywhere within the 10 mm window using the external stop screw, down to roughly 20 mm of extend. It lengthens nothing and holds no load - on air loss the piston simply drifts - so use it to dial in landing position, not as a brake. The variable air cushions at both ends are adjusted separately.
