About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-40S
Double-acting with an adjustable extend stroke, the MAJ16X100-40S lets an external stop screw trim the 100 mm stroke by up to 40 mm after installation - one cylinder covering several stop positions on the same machine. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N, reaching 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated rod cope with washdown and humid air far better than painted-steel minis.
A fixed bumper pad softens each stroke end by decelerating the piston - it is not an adjustable air cushion, which is the MAC family's trick. For sizing, expect about 60 N of genuine working force at 0.5 MPa, and treat it as lifting roughly 5 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied to the 10 kg theoretical lift. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip on without any special piston.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-40S Is Used
Connector tray pick-and-place
Extends a small gripper 100 mm to lift PCB connector trays of about 5 kg off an SMT feeder, with the 40 mm trim window absorbing feeder pitch changes.
Carton lane diverter
Kicks light cartons off a packing-station belt lane; the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa moves small packs cleanly, and the bumper pads quiet the stop.
Bench jig clamp
Clamps aluminium brackets against a drill jig with roughly 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa, holding parts square without marring the finish.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-40S the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the smallest in the MA range: if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal for the job, bore 20 in the same series lifts the push to 157 N. The stop screw gives a mechanical extend stop only - cut the air and the rod drifts, so add a valve or external lock when the load must stay put. Match it with the FA flange or LB foot, an I or Y rod knuckle on the rod side, and M5x0.8 ports; PT thread ships as the default with G and NPT as order options.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Bumper models: keep speed within the rated range.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-40S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. The cylinder runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s, and the extend stroke can be trimmed up to 40 mm via the stop screw.
Yes. Every MA-series cylinder leaves the factory with a magnet in the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel - no special-order piston or retrofit kit is needed.
