The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-40S 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.
Wide latitude in one part number: the MAJ16X160-40S ships with a 40 mm adjustable window, so commissioning crews can set extend travel anywhere down to 120 mm on the machine. It is a double-acting Dia 16 mini rated at 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
The riveted round body packs stainless-barrel durability into a compact envelope, and the magnet built into every MA piston means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without a special order. Standard limits are 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply, -20 to +70 C, and 30-800 mm/s travel speed.

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. |
| ×160 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | 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.
Sorts small blister packs into lanes on a pharma packaging line; one cylinder serves several lane depths thanks to the wide 40 mm trim.
Ejects bent wire parts from a forming die on a compact press bench; 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa clears light springback.
Drives a stop arm across the end of a gravity roller track, re-tuned per SKU with the external stop screw in minutes.
This is the last bore before MAJ20, which lifts the push figure from 100.5 N to 157 N at 0.5 MPa if your payload grows. Vertically, the rod will lift about 10 kg at 0.5 MPa on paper; halve that and target a 5 kg part weight in practice. At 160 mm on a 6 mm rod, keep side loads near zero and guide the payload externally. The trim stop shortens the extend stroke only and never acts as a load brake; fixed bumpers handle the end-of-stroke deceleration instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 160 mm with a 40 mm adjustable window, ports M5x0.8, male rod thread M6x1.0.
FA flange and LB foot brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles, are the mounting choices for this adjustable series. Because the magnet is standard, CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip onto the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signalling out of the box.
