The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-20S 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.
A 20 mm trim range on a 100 mm stroke gives this MAJ16X100-20S room to absorb fixture tolerance: wind the external stop screw in or out and the extend endpoint moves anywhere across that 20 mm window. Underneath sits the classic MA build - a stainless round barrel rolled together with aluminium covers and a stainless block, driving a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod.
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. Keep real workload near 60 N at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 10 kg vertically at full pressure or about 5 kg with a 2:1 margin. Anti-impact bumper pads are fixed at both ends for quiet deceleration, and because the magnet is standard, CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches read position with no retrofit.

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. |
| -20 | 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.
Drives a 100 mm slide gate over a small hopper outlet, with the endpoint tuned across the 20 mm window.
Swings a light clamp arm over to lock a bracket on an electronics assembly jig at the end of each cycle.
Acts as a retractable stop for battery trays on a warehouse transfer cart, position-checked by an EMSG switch.
Step up from this bore when forces climb: the 20 mm bore reaches 157 N and the 32 mm bore 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa. With 100 mm of travel on a 6 mm rod, use external guides for anything beyond pure thrust. The stop screw only limits extension and will not hold position if air is lost - treat it as a repeatable end stop, never a lock. Mount via FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y knuckle if the load pivots, and rely on the built-in magnet plus a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch for cycle verification.
Quick checklist
Bore 16 delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and up to 20.5 kgf theoretically at 1.0 MPa. It operates on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, 30-800 mm/s, with M5x0.8 ports.
The barrel is stainless steel with a hard-chrome plated (20 um) carbon-steel rod and riveted aluminium covers, so the cylinder resists washdown and light corrosion better than painted mini bodies. Note that the anti-impact pads only soften stroke ends - they are not adjustable air cushions; that feature belongs to the MAC family.
