The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ16X75-75S 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.
Set it anywhere from zero trim to the full 75 mm: on the MACJ16X75-75S the adjustable window spans the whole stroke, the widest trim this size offers, so one cylinder can serve several stations after minor line changes. It is double-acting with a variable cushion at both covers, rated for 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s, and takes air through an M5x0.8 port while the 6 mm rod is threaded M6x1.0.
Numbers that matter at 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N extend, 86.4 N retract, climbing to 140.7 N extend at 0.7 MPa and 20.5 kgf at the 1.0 MPa theoretical peak. Treat about 60 N as the practical working force - enough to raise roughly 10 kg vertically, or 5 kg at a 2:1 margin. Because the barrel is stainless steel rolled onto aluminium covers with a hard-chrome plated rod, the unit tolerates humid, rinsed or outdoor locations better than painted-steel minis, and every unit ships magnet-ready for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.

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.
Raising and lowering a light stopper blade under small packages, with the full 75 mm window covering several product heights on one unit.
Holding small aluminium brackets during manual deburring, where the stainless barrel stands up to coolant mist and frequent wipes.
Flipping a gravity-chute flap between two bins in a small-parts store, cushioned at both ends so the flap never slams home.
This 16 mm bore unit tops out around 60 N of usable push, so check bore 20 (157.0 N) or bore 25 (245.3 N) at 0.5 MPa before committing to heavier work. The 75 mm trim range sets extend length mechanically; on air failure the piston is free to move, which makes the stop a positioning aid rather than a brake - size external holding accordingly. FA flange and LB foot are the fixed mounts, I and Y knuckles suit swinging links, and the built-in magnet makes position sensing a bolt-on with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Long slender strokes like 75 mm on a 6 mm rod deserve external guidance for any side load. Where a rubber bumper beats an air cushion for your cycle, the MAJ variant carries the same adjustable principle.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N extend and 86.4 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N extend and 120.9 N retract. The theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air enters through an M5x0.8 port and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
The rolled stainless tube with a hard-chrome plated rod resists mild corrosion, coolant mist and rinse-down far better than painted mini cylinders, and the variable cushions at both covers let you run faster cycles without hammering the end faces.
