The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 160mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The MAJ16X160-10S pairs a Dia 16 stainless round barrel with a 160 mm stroke and a 10 mm adjustable window: an external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke on site without swapping the cylinder. Double-acting throughout, it pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and pulls 86.4 N, with the rod a 6 mm hard-chrome-plated carbon-steel pin rolling in a sealed riveted body.
Because the barrel is stainless steel and the rod carries 20 um hard chrome, this mini shrugs off splash and humid air better than painted-steel alternatives. Every unit ships with a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on straight from stock. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, with fixed bumper pads softening both stroke 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.

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.
On a small craft-bottling line, the trimmed 10 mm window lets one Dia 16 unit nudge 330 ml bottles off a conveyor lane without touching the adjacent lane.
Actuates the latch bar on a CNC enclosure door; the stop screw is set so the rod bottoms out exactly at the latch seat, and a DMSG switch confirms the locked position.
Tips small reject chutes on an electronics assembly bench, where 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a light chute arm swung through 160 mm.
Dia 16 is the smallest bore in the MA range, so there is nothing below it: if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight, step up to MAJ20 (157 N push, 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa). For real work budget roughly 60 N of the push rating rather than the full figure. The -10 stop screw only shortens the extend stroke; it is not a brake, so on air loss the rod still drifts. At 160 mm on a 6 mm rod, keep tooling aligned so side loads stay minimal. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, or hang the load off an I or Y knuckle.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Port size on this Dia 16 bore is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
An external stop screw limits how far the piston travels on extend, trimming the stroke anywhere within the ordered 10 mm window. It shortens the stroke only, and it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock or air cushion. The fixed bumper pads soften the landing; if you need adjustable cushioning, look at the MACJ family.
