About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-50S
A double-acting round-body mini cylinder that lets you set the extend stroke on site: an external stop screw trims the 160 mm extend travel anywhere within the ordered 50 mm window, while fixed anti-impact pads absorb the shock at each end of travel. Bore 16 output is 100.5 N on extend and 86.4 N on retract at 0.5 MPa, the right class for light ejection and gate-stop work.
The stainless-steel barrel is riveted to the aluminium covers around a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod, a compact washdown-friendly package that shrugs off mild corrosion far better than painted minis. Every MA-series piston carries a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches simply clip on. For sizing, expect about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the rated push), and the rod lifts about 5 kg vertically once you keep 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 MAJ16X160-50S Is Used
Bench-top gate stop
Stops small plastic vials at a fill station on a semi-automatic packaging bench; the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is ample for a light gate, and a CMSG switch confirms gate-closed.
Microdispense needle lift
Raises and lowers a dispense needle over an electronics PCB; about 5 kg vertical capacity with a 2:1 margin covers the needle and holder weight easily.
Fixture pin ejector
Ejects dowel pins from a small drilling jig; the riveted stainless body tolerates coolant mist around the machine tool.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X160-50S the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the smallest MA bore, so step up to bore 20 (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) or bore 25 (245.3 N) if 100.5 N leaves too little margin. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lock the piston mid-stroke, so on air loss the rod will still drift; use a valve or external stop where hold-in-place matters. Mount on an FA flange or LB foot, pair I or Y rod knuckles with pivoting loads, and keep side loads off the 6 mm rod at 160 mm of reach; speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
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 MAJ16X160-50S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.
A stainless-steel round barrel is riveted to aluminium-alloy covers over a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, with fixed anti-impact bumper pads at each end. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount with no special-order piston. Air ports are M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
