About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-20S
A compact round body built from a stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, the MAJ16X160-20S gives you 160 mm of travel and a 20 mm on-site trim of the extend stroke. It is double-acting: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa.
Fixed anti-impact bumper pads take the sting out of both stroke ends; note they only decelerate the piston and are not an adjustable air cushion. Inside, the two-way piston seal stores its own grease for long service. For vertical work the numbers read simply: about 10 kgf of theoretical lift at 0.5 MPa, so plan on roughly 5 kg of real payload with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-20S Is Used
Sample slide actuator
Pushes a 96-well plate between read and wash stations on a compact analyzer; the 20 mm trim lets the engineer dial in the exact docking position.
Cosmetic vial lifter
Raises lipstick or serum vial carriers a short distance each cycle; with a 2:1 margin the rod handles roughly 5 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa.
Glue nozzle follower
Keeps a low-pressure glue nozzle in contact with blanks on a small cartoner, where the fixed bumpers absorb the settle at stroke end.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-20S the Right Cylinder?
Compare both neighbours before ordering: MAJ20 delivers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa against this unit's 100.5 N, while Dia 16 is the floor of the range. The stop screw shortens extend travel within 20 mm; it never lengthens past 160 mm and it does not hold a load if air is lost. Long 160 mm travel on a slim 6 mm rod means the payload should be guided externally, not leaned on the rod. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I/Y knuckles cover most fixings, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Bumper models: keep speed within the rated range.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-20S FAQ
Rated output at 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N extending, 86.4 N retracting. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N extending, 120.9 N retracting. Maximum theoretical force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 160 mm stroke sits within the 300 mm standard limit for bore 16, so no made-to-order stroke is involved.
For damp or wash-prone spots, yes: the barrel is stainless steel and the 6 mm rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um, so the pair resists mild corrosion far better than painted-steel or plain-aluminium minis. The aluminium covers stay light, and the riveted round body keeps the footprint small.
