The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X125-20S 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.
Dia 16 force in a riveted round body: the MAJ16X125-20S runs double-acting at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and pushes 100.5 N, pulls 86.4 N, at 0.5 MPa. An external stop screw adjusts the extend stroke across a 20 mm window - anywhere from 105 to 125 mm - and fixed bumper pads absorb the impact at each end of the trimmed travel.
Derate to about 60 N of working push at 0.5 MPa for a durable design, which equates to hoisting near 5 kg vertically against a 2:1 safety factor. The stainless tube and 20 um hard-chrome rod handle damp, rinse-prone stations far better than painted mini cylinders. Position sensing is ready out of the box: the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches without modification.

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.

| 0.5 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.

| ×125 | 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.
Pushes finished blister cards off a thermoforming station; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a few grams of plastic and foil.
Holds an aluminium bracket during light drilling; plan around 60 N of clamp force at 0.5 MPa and set the 105-125 mm window to the bracket height.
Drops a locating pin into a light e-bike battery tray; the standard magnet signals pin-home to the PLC via a CMSG switch.
Against its siblings, this 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; a 20 mm bore raises that to 157 N and a 25 mm bore to 245.3 N, so upsize when the mechanism adds friction. There is no smaller MA bore, so 16 mm is your starting point.
The 20 mm window gives moderate on-site trim around the 125 mm nominal travel. Mounting options are the FA flange, LB foot and I / Y knuckles (no SDB on this adjustable type); the stop screw fixes the extend end only and must never be trusted to hold a load when air fails. Keep the 6 mm rod side-load free across the long 125 mm stroke or add an external guide. For sensing, the standard magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N extending, 86.4 N retracting. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N extending, 120.9 N retracting. The Dia 16 bore tops out near 20.5 kgf at the theoretical 1.0 MPa. The operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 30-800 mm/s speeds.
Ports are M5x0.8 (fixed by the 16 mm bore) and the rod carries an M6x1.0 male thread. Mount on an FA flange or LB foot, with I or Y rod knuckles where the load pivots - adjustable-stroke models offer no SDB. The stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere from 105 to 125 mm and is an end stop, not a load-holding brake.
