Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-30S 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 MACJ16X60-30S
Tune the forward travel of this AirTAC MACJ16X60-30S anywhere inside a 30 mm window: the external stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke to as little as 30 mm once your fixture is set. Double-acting air drives both directions, and a variable cushion at each end means the 100.5 N extend force at 0.5 MPa can arrive gently even at high speed. Return force at the same pressure is 86.4 N.
A stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium end covers resists the moisture that swells painted mini bodies, while the hard-chrome plated rod keeps sealing wear low over millions of cycles. Position sensing needs no special order: the piston magnet ships standard and pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. For sizing, count on about 60 N of real working push at 0.5 MPa; vertically the bore manages roughly 10 kgf, about 5 kg if you hold a 2:1 lift margin.

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 MACJ16X60-30S Is Used
Pen assembly press
Seats ink cartridges in pen barrels with 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; the 30 mm window lets line engineers fine-tune seating depth after every tooling change.
Lab sample slide
Indexes microplate racks between stations in a compact analyzer, with a CMSG switch confirming each end position via the standard magnet.
Sleeve label kicker
Kicks misaligned shrink-sleeve containers onto a reject chute; the dual-end cushion lets the 16 mm body run at 800 mm/s without clatter.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-30S the Right Cylinder?
If your load outgrows the 86.4-100.5 N band of this 16 mm bore, a 20 mm MA frame adds headroom with 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa; there is no smaller bore below 16 mm in the series. Remember the adjuster is an end-stop positioner only - with air removed the rod is free to move, so add a separate brake if a load must be held mid-travel. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, fit an I or Y knuckle at the rod, and plumb it through its M5x0.8 ports at 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 MACJ16X60-30S FAQ
Expect 100.5 N extend and 86.4 N retract at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N extend and 120.9 N retract at 0.7 MPa, and a 20.5 kgf theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa for this 16 mm bore.
No. A magnet is fitted to every piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches simply clip to the stainless barrel whenever the PLC needs extend or retract confirmation.
