The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X75-30S 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.
Bigger adjustment range, same compact 16 mm package: the -30 stop screw lets the extend stroke be reset anywhere across a 30 mm band of the 75 mm travel, handy for lines that run several product heights. It stays double-acting with a variable cushion at each end, pushing 100.5 N and pulling 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
MA-series build quality shows in the riveted stainless barrel and the 20 um hard-chrome layer on the carbon-steel rod, both chosen to survive humid plants and occasional washdown better than coated minis. The piston magnet ships standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. As a working figure, expect about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.

|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Folding top flaps on small cartons at a case packer, with the wide 30 mm window handling different carton depths.
Locking plastic trays into position between wash and fill stations on a food line, cushioned at both stops.
Setting a hard end position on a light pneumatic slide where operators re-trim the extend stroke between batches.
This bore sits at the bottom of the MACJ range; when 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal, the 20 mm bore's 157.0 N push or the 25 mm bore's 245.3 N give real headroom. The 75 mm stroke is standard for bore 16 (300 mm maximum), and the 30 mm window covers most product-change re-trims. FA flange and LB foot are the mount options, with I and Y rod knuckles for pivoting loads - and keep in mind the stop screw sets the extend end stop only, never a mid-stroke lock.
Quick checklist
For the MACJ16X75-30S: 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; 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Bore is 16 mm, rod 6 mm with M6x1.0 thread, port M5x0.8, air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No. The stop screw defines where the extend stroke ends within the 30 mm window; it holds position mechanically only at that end and does not resist drift if air pressure is lost. The variable cushions at both ends do soften the approach, and speed is tunable from 30-800 mm/s.
