The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X75-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm 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.
A mid-length 20 mm window gives this 16 mm bore MACJ room for on-site stroke trimming - enough range to retune the 75 mm extend position when a product size or tooling changes. Air works on both faces of the piston, and the variable cushion at each end lets you run 30-800 mm/s without hammering the covers.
The round stainless barrel is rolled onto aluminium covers with a stainless block, sealing out moisture that defeats painted mini cylinders. Hard-chrome on the 6 mm carbon-steel rod adds further corrosion resistance. Magnet is a standard inclusion, so a CMSG or DMSG switch snaps on for position feedback. In practice, size the task to roughly 60 N of push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 100.5 N - about 5 kg of vertical lifting with 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.
| 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.

| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.

Between the 20 mm bore (157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) and this 16 mm unit (100.5 N), the crossover sits near a 6 kg load at moderate pressure; go up a bore if your mass is close to the limit. Bore 16 tops out at a 300 mm standard stroke, so 75 mm is fully standard. Mount via FA flange or LB foot, or hang an I or Y knuckle on the rod thread. Note the stop screw fixes the extend end position only - it is not a holding brake, and the rod will move if supply pressure falls.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Maximum theoretical force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 16 mm bore uses a 6 mm rod with M6x1.0 male thread and an M5x0.8 port, running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.
The rolled stainless round barrel plus hard-chrome plated rod shrug off condensation and light washdown where painted minis corrode. Combined with the standard built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, it suits wet or humid stations without special ordering.
