The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X100-50S 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.
Fine end-of-travel control on light loads is what the MAJ16X100-50S delivers: a double-acting, round-body mini cylinder with a 50 mm stop-screw window that sets any extend stroke between 50 and 100 mm. At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore produces 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull, peaking at 140.7 N push if you run 0.7 MPa.
The stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off mild corrosion in food, lab and outdoor corners where aluminium or painted minis degrade. Practical sizing works out to roughly 60 N of real work force at 0.5 MPa - about 5 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed bumper pads absorb the stroke-end impact, the riveted round body keeps the footprint slim, and the standard built-in magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box. Spec: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, M5x0.8 port.

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.

| 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.
Setting press-contact travel anywhere from 50 to 100 mm on spring-test jigs, adjusted by the external screw between batches.
Ejecting failed components from a vision-inspection chute on PCB lines, where 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa clears light rejects briskly.
Holding small aluminium brackets through a screwdriving cycle with about 60 N of practical clamping effort at 0.5 MPa.
Size check: bore 16 gives 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa; step to MAJ20 (157.0 N push) when loads grow. The 50 mm screw window tunes the extend stroke from 50 to 100 mm, yet the screw is purely a stroke end stop - a lost air supply lets the piston drift, so add an external mechanical clamp wherever holding matters. An FA flange or LB foot mounts the body; I and Y knuckles articulate the rod end.
Quick checklist
Force figures at a glance: 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 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Filtration to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C, M5x0.8 ports on both covers.
FA flange and LB foot mount the round riveted body, while I and Y rod knuckles articulate the rod end. The fixed anti-impact pads at each stroke end soften landing forces - they decelerate only and offer none of the adjustable cushioning of the MAC family.
