The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X75-50S 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.
Bore 16 in a rolled, round stainless body: the MACJ16X75-50S keeps 50 mm of the ordered 75 mm stroke adjustable, so technicians set the exact extend position at the machine instead of re-ordering a shorter cylinder. Air works the piston in both directions across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a variable air cushion at each head to soften deceleration and cycle speeds from 30-800 mm/s. Supply air through the M5x0.8 port; the 6 mm rod carries an M6x1.0 thread.
Force output at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N return, rising to 140.7 N forward at 0.7 MPa with a 20.5 kgf ceiling at 1.0 MPa. In practice budget around 60 N for real work - that lifts roughly 10 kg straight up, or about 5 kg with a safety factor of two. Mild corrosion and rinse-down zones are where the stainless tube and hard-chrome carbon-steel rod earn their keep over painted mini cylinders, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches with no options needed.

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.

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.

If 60 N of practical force falls short, the next sizes up are bore 20 at 157.0 N and bore 25 at 245.3 N (0.5 MPa push). Remember the adjuster defines where the rod stops when extending; it does not hold the load against back-drive, and a de-pressurized cylinder can still creep, so plan external stops or a locking valve. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, fit an I or Y knuckle for pivoting links, and rely on the standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing. With a 6 mm rod carrying a 75 mm stroke, avoid side thrust and guide the payload separately. Prefer a rigid double-rod version for alignment-critical pushes? The MACD keeps the cushion but drops the adjuster.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N and pull is 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those become 140.7 N and 120.9 N, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8, the 6 mm rod is threaded M6x1.0, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Yes. Every MA cylinder leaves the factory with a piston magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel - no special-order piston or retrofit required.
