The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X125-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 125mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A 100 mm trim range makes the MAJ16X125-100S unusually flexible for a Dia 16 mini: the stop screw sets the extend stroke from 25 mm all the way to the full 125 mm, in service, by hand. Double-acting air power delivers 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, with fixed bumper pads taking the sting out of stroke ends.
For sizing, count on about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly a 5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome carbon-steel rod shrug off splash and humidity, a genuine advantage over painted-aluminium minis in food or outdoor cells. Every unit ships with a standard magnet, so adding CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches needs no special-order 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.
| 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.
Folds small end flaps on 150 mm cosmetic cartons; the 25-125 mm stroke range covers tall and short cartons without changing the cylinder.
Raises a hinged acrylic guard or dosing lid weighing under 1 kg; about 5 kg of vertical capability at a 2:1 margin leaves room for hinge friction.
Halts small fixtures between stations; the stop screw pins the exact extend position when the table pitch changes between product variants.
Compare before you commit: there is no smaller MA bore (16 mm is the floor), while a 20 mm bore makes 157 N and a 25 mm bore makes 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your part weighs near 10 kg, the bigger bore is the safer call.
The 100 mm window means one cylinder can cover many stroke settings on a changeover line. Foot (LB) or flange (FA) mounting plus I / Y knuckles are the mounting choices here - no SDB on adjustable models. The adjuster is an extend-end stop, not a brake; with air off, the piston can still move. Long 125 mm travel on a 6 mm rod calls for a guide rail whenever side forces appear.
Quick checklist
Expect 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 140.7 N push (120.9 N pull) at 0.7 MPa. At the theoretical maximum of 1.0 MPa the bore reaches about 20.5 kgf. Run it anywhere from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke within the ordered 100 mm window - here from 25 up to 125 mm. It is a mechanical end stop that sets the extend position; it does not hold the load mid-stroke, and if air pressure is lost the piston can still drift. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads cushion the ends of travel.
