The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X15-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 15mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Short travel, big control: 15 mm of stroke that the stop screw can shave back 10 mm for fine-position work. Push force is 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa - budget roughly 60 N for the actual task to keep margins honest. Ports are M5x0.8; the 6 mm rod carries an M6x1.0 thread.
Construction is a riveted stainless round body with a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod, compact enough to bolt beside M5-fitted fixtures in food or lab equipment. The standard built-in magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG reed or Hall switches for end-of-travel confirmation. Pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, anti-impact pads fixed at both ends.

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. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
Presses snap caps onto 15 mL serum bottles in a 15 mm move; trimming 10 mm adjusts press depth when cap batches change.
Pops finished boards off a test fixture with a 5-15 mm nudge; the 6 mm chrome rod aligns with the fixture eject slot.
Probes whether a workpiece is seated: a CMSG switch on the standard magnet confirms full retraction each cycle.
For this force class, going smaller is impossible - bore 16 is the smallest MA - so step to bore 20 (157.0 N) or 25 (245.3 N) at 0.5 MPa if 100.5 N runs close to your load. Keep the driven mass light; at 15 mm travel there is little run-up for the fixed bumper pads to arrest. An I or Y knuckle on the M6x1.0 rod thread suits pressing pads; FA and LB mounts round out the options. Do not rely on the trim screw to hold position - it only caps the extend stroke within its 10 mm window.
Quick checklist
Expect 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and you get 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, while the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Fixed anti-impact bumper pads absorb the deceleration at both ends. They are not an adjustable air cushion - and the stop screw likewise only trims the extend stroke within its 10 mm window, never lengthening it past 15 mm.
