The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X10-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A compact double-acting round mini cylinder for tight spots: the MAJ16X10-10S works on a 10 mm stroke, and an external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke anywhere within the 10 mm window without touching the plumbing. The stainless-steel barrel and hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod (20 um) shrug off washdown and light corrosion that would pit painted mini bodies.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. In practice, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - enough to seat a small switch, kick a chip off a fixture or hold a light cover closed. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften both stroke ends, the riveted aluminium covers keep the body short, and the built-in magnet (standard on MA) accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches straight out of the box.

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.

| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
Seats a microswitch or reed sensor on a packaging machine cam shaft with a repeatable 10 mm press.
Knocks finished boards off a test nest on an inline electronics line, one light stroke at a time.
Clamps small vials or caps under a filling head, working on roughly 60 N of real force at 0.5 MPa.
Bore 16 is the smallest in the MA family; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels thin for the job, step up to the 20 mm bore (157 N push) or the 25 mm bore (245.3 N). For a 10 mm stroke this cylinder is at its best as a short punch or stop - keep the rod free of side loads and guide the part itself. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I and Y rod knuckles cover most fixturing. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop only: with air lost the piston still drifts, so never use it to hold a load in place.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MA-series cylinder, including this one, ships with a magnet built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or hall-effect switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel with no special-order piston.
