Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-20S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm 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 MACJ16X60-20S
The MACJ16X60-20S is a double-acting AirTAC mini cylinder whose extend stroke can be trimmed on site by up to 20 mm, so the 60 mm ordered travel becomes any length from 40 mm to 60 mm without shims or spacers. A variable air cushion sits at both ends and soaks up end-of-stroke shock, letting the piston run anywhere in its 30-800 mm/s band faster than a rigid-stop cylinder would allow. At 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore generates 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N on the return.
Built around a riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod, it tolerates washdown splash that would pit painted-steel minis, and the rolled aluminium covers seal the tube directly. As a working figure, plan on about 60 N of real push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 100.5 N rating, and expect roughly 10 kgf of vertical lift, halved to about 5 kg for a comfortable 2:1 margin. A piston magnet is included as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip onto the barrel whenever a controller needs end-position feedback.

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 MACJ16X60-20S Is Used
Bottle divert gate
Pushes empty 330 ml PET bottles off a beverage conveyor lane with 100.5 N of thrust, and the 20 mm window trims gate travel to the exact lane pitch.
Jig clamp on assembly fixtures
Holds small PCB terminals in a soldering jig; about 60 N of usable force is ample, and the end cushion keeps the part from taking a jolt.
Carton tab tucker
Folds cardboard tabs on a small packaging line in damp washdown zones, where the stainless barrel outlasts painted mini cylinders.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-20S the Right Cylinder?
Step up to a 20 mm bore if your load needs 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa; the 16 mm barrel is already the smallest MA frame, so there is nothing below it in this family. The stop screw only sets the forward end position - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod will drift if air is lost under load. FA flanges and LB feet bolt it down, and I or Y rod knuckles absorb small misalignment. Supply 40 um filtered air between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
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 MACJ16X60-20S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the MACJ16X60-20S pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and output climbs to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The stop screw sets any extend length from 40 mm to 60 mm, and the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston so shock on the aluminium covers drops sharply, even near the 800 mm/s top speed.
