The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X150-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 20 mm window the extend stroke of this MAJ settles anywhere from 130 to 150 mm, enough slack to true up nests and stops on small fixtures without shimming. It runs double-acting - air on both faces of the piston - and the 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N return at 0.5 MPa.
The rolling-packed construction rolls the aluminium covers and a stainless block tight onto the barrel, keeping the round body short and rigid. Its stainless tube plus hard-chrome plated rod cope with damp, food-adjacent and outdoor air where coated minis rust. Budget around 60 N for real work at 0.5 MPa, which is a vertical lift of roughly 5 kg at a 2:1 margin. Bumpers are fixed pads, not adjustable cushions, and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box.

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.

| ×150 | 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.
Locks bakery trays into a wet-process frame at one of several selectable stop positions.
Drives a light piercing punch through 0.5 mm aluminium shims on a small bench press.
With the standard magnet and an EMSG switch, confirms a jig is fully seated before the robot cycle starts.
Force scales fast in this family: the 20 mm bore lifts output to 157.0 N and the 25 mm bore to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, against 100.5 N here. Treat the adjuster as an extend end stop, never as a brake - a de-pressurised piston can still coast. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot; 150 mm of travel on a 6 mm rod asks for clean axial loading and a guide if the payload overhangs.
Quick checklist
Push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; push 140.7 N and pull 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - every MA-series piston carries a magnet as standard equipment, not a paid option, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount straight onto the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signalling.
