The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 100mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 100 mm stroke and a full 100 mm adjustable window, this model lets the extend stroke be set anywhere from near zero to the complete travel via the external stop screw - handy when one fixture runs parts of different heights. The body is a riveted round package: stainless-steel tube, hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod and aluminium covers rolled on for a sealed, compact unit.
Rated 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa). For sizing, treat roughly 60 N as the working push at 0.5 MPa; vertically that is about 10 kg of lift at full pressure, or about 5 kg if you keep a 2:1 margin. Fixed anti-impact pads take the sting out of both stroke ends, and the standard-fit magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for end-position checks on long travels.

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.

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.
Pushes a light diverter flap on a parts chute, routing good parts or scrap bins at up to 800 mm/s.
Raises a 4 kg locating pin out of a pallet on an assembly dial, leaving half the force in reserve.
Opens a small parts tray or drawer on a kitting station with a smooth, repeatable 100 mm push.
At 100.5 N (0.5 MPa) this is the entry force level - the 20 mm bore gives 157 N and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N if the load is heavier. A 100 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod is where side loads start to matter: guide the load externally rather than letting the rod carry it. The stop screw sets a mechanical extend limit; it is not a brake, and the rod will settle if air pressure is lost. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, add I or Y knuckles on the rod, and lean on the built-in magnet with a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch for repeatability.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um.
An external stop screw limits how far the rod extends, anywhere inside the ordered 100 mm window. It shortens the extend stroke only - it cannot push travel past 100 mm - and it acts as a hard stop, not an air cushion. Fixed bumper pads handle the stroke-end deceleration.
