About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X175-40S
Where does a 40 mm trim window matter? Gates and slides whose final position gets tuned after installation. The MAJ16X175-40S gives 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa over a 175 mm extend stroke, shortenable by up to 40 mm with the external stop screw. It runs 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.
Fixed bumper pads take the sting out of stroke ends; they decelerate, they do not cushion like the adjustable MAC family. The riveted round body - stainless barrel, hard-chrome 6 mm rod, aluminium covers - resists corrosion better than painted minis in damp or outdoor corners. The magnet comes as standard, so EMSG or CMSG switches mount without ordering options. Budget around 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety 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 MAJ16X175-40S Is Used
Gate divert on a compact pharma vial conveyor
Swings a lightweight guide to split single-file vials; the wide 40 mm window sets the gate angle precisely without shimming brackets.
Tray lower ramp in a bakery line
Lowers small pastry trays onto a takeaway belt, about 5 kg equivalent vertical rating with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
Stopper flag on a tote roller conveyor
Pops up to pause totes at a pick face; a CMSG switch on the standard magnet tells the WMS the flag is truly up.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X175-40S the Right Cylinder?
The 16 mm bore is the smallest MA offers; step to 20 mm for 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa or 25 mm for 245.3 N when loads grow. The 40 mm adjuster is a mechanical end stop only - if the machine must hold position through an air failure, add a separate clamp, because the rod will drift. Fix it with an FA flange or LB foot, fit an I or Y knuckle to the M6x1.0 thread, and use the standard magnet with a CMSG switch for end-of-stroke confirmation. Keep the 6 mm rod shielded from side loads over the long 175 mm travel.
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 MAJ16X175-40S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Maximum theoretical is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port is M5x0.8 and the 6 mm rod thread is M6x1.0 male.
Yes. The magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel - no special-order piston, no waiting on a custom build.
