Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-50S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-50S 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 MACJ16X60-50S
With a 50 mm adjustment band, the MACJ16X60-50S turns nearly the whole 60 mm travel into an on-site variable: the extend stroke can be set from 10 mm up to the full 60 mm using the external stop screw. Cushioning is variable at each end, so the 100.5 N thrust at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, lands softly even near 800 mm/s. Retraction pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa.
This is a rolled, round-body mini cylinder: a stainless tube, hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod and aluminium covers assembled by riveting, so there is no paint to chip in damp workshops or food-area washdowns. Every unit leaves the factory with a piston magnet already fitted, and CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches attach whenever needed. As a rule of thumb for this bore, roughly 60 N does real work at 0.5 MPa, and the theoretical 10 kgf lift figure halves to about 5 kg for safe vertical lifting.

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 MACJ16X60-50S Is Used
Pump leak-test clamp
Seals a test nipple on small cosmetic pump assemblies; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa holds the fixture closed while air leak testing runs.
Connector cap pick-place
Lifts about 5 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin, comfortably handling USB connector cap grippers on a benchtop pick-and-place unit.
Textile hold-down
Pins fabric plies to a cutting table; the 50 mm window adapts to different ply heights and the stainless tube shrugs off lint and humidity.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X60-50S the Right Cylinder?
Nothing smaller than a 16 mm bore exists in the MA family, so if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels marginal for the job, move to the 20 mm frame and its 157.0 N push. Keep the working pressure between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 40 um filtered air, feed it through M5x0.8 ports, and mount with FA flange or LB foot hardware, adding an I or Y knuckle where alignment wanders. The adjustable stop defines the forward limit only - treat it as a travel setting, never as a load-holding brake, because an unpressurized cylinder still coasts.
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 MACJ16X60-50S FAQ
Rated output for the 16 mm bore: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa.
Bolt it down with an FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y rod knuckle if alignment drifts, and plumb the M5x0.8 ports with PT, G or NPT threads at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
