The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-10S 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.
For lines that need long travel but a precisely placed end point, the MAJ16X100-10S runs a 100 mm stroke with a 10 mm stop-screw window at the extend end. Set the final position once and the stainless round barrel - riveted to its aluminium covers, driving a 20 um hard-chrome rod - keeps cycling through damp or lightly corrosive air where painted minis would rust.
Force class is entry level: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Budget about 60 N for real work at 0.5 MPa - say lifting a 5 kg gate leaf with a 2:1 margin - and move to a larger bore if that is tight. The two-way piston seal carries its own grease film, fixed bumper pads calm the stroke ends, and the standard-fit magnet drops straight under CMSG, DMSG or 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.
| 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.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | 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.
Stops or releases small parts between conveyor lanes in a sorting module, position-checked by a DMSG switch.
Slides a sample tray 100 mm into a lab analyzer position, ending at the same trimmed point every cycle.
Presses a light labeling pad onto bottle caps over the full stroke, finishing against the tuned stop.
This is the smallest MA bore, so compare upward: the 20 mm bore pushes 157 N and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. On a 100 mm stroke keep the load guided; a 6 mm rod tolerates little side force. The 10 mm trim range means the last 10 mm of extension is tunable on site - useful for seating a part exactly - but the screw is an end stop rather than a mid-stroke lock: lose air and the rod moves. FA flange or LB foot, plus I or Y rod knuckles, covers mounting, and the magnet is already inside for sensor fitment.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Working range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, ports M5x0.8.
Yes - a magnet is built into the piston as standard on every MA-series cylinder, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount on the stainless barrel with no special-order piston and nothing extra to buy beyond the switch itself.
