Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-40S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-40S 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 MACJ16X60-40S
A 40 mm trimming span lets the MACJ16X60-40S shrink its extend stroke from 60 mm down to 20 mm with the external stop screw, adjusted after installation without touching the air supply. Both directions are air driven, both ends carry a variable cushion, and the 16 mm stainless barrel delivers 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa going out and 86.4 N coming back. The 30-800 mm/s speed range covers slow dosing through quick ejection.
Corrosion resistance comes from the riveted stainless-steel tube rather than any coating: mild washdown and outdoor humidity will not lift paint or seep under plating, and the hard-chrome 6 mm rod keeps the seals running smooth. The magnet is built in as standard equipment, so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch snaps on whenever a controller needs position confirmation. Practically, treat 60 N as the honest working push at 0.5 MPa, and expect about 5 kg of vertical lift capability when applying a 2:1 safety 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 MACJ16X60-40S Is Used
SMT feeder stop
Stops PCB panels at the placement head on SMT lines; the 40 mm trim range absorbs layout revisions without swapping the cylinder.
Vial capping head
Presses aluminum caps onto 2 ml pharma vials with about 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa, in a wipe-clean stainless construction.
Hopper gate ejector
Drops single fasteners from a vibratory feeder bowl gate, with 86.4 N of return force resetting the gate between cycles.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-40S the Right Cylinder?
Compare frames by force: at 0.5 MPa the next size up, a 20 mm bore, offers 157.0 N of push, while this 16 mm body suits jobs in the 60-100 N range. A 60 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod keeps side loads low - guide the payload externally if tooling can cock sideways, or bending moments will shorten seal life. Run it on 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), feed it through M5x0.8 ports, and fixture it with an FA flange or LB foot. The trim screw sets where the rod stops at the extend end; it does not lock the piston, so a loss of air lets the load settle wherever friction and gravity take it.
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 MACJ16X60-40S FAQ
The 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it develops 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull; theoretical peak force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rolled stainless barrel plus hard-chrome plated rod resists moisture, mild chemicals and washdown far better than painted mini cylinders, keeping the seals and the 6 mm rod smooth through long duty cycles.
