The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X225-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 225mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 16 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke, this MAJ delivers 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N on the return), rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa with a 20.5 kgf theoretical ceiling. A stop screw on the cover trims the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered 10 mm window, so one cylinder can serve several cycle lengths without plumbing changes.
The riveted round body pairs a stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, shrugging off washdown splash better than painted minis in food or outdoor spots. Fixed bumper pads soften each stroke end (they decelerate only, they are not an air cushion), and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches as standard. In practice, size real work to about 60 N at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

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.

| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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). |

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.
Nudges mislabeled cartons off a conveyor at 30-800 mm/s, with the 10 mm window tuned so the push clears the lane without over-travel.
Raises small sample vials one pitch per cycle; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa easily carries a few grams, and the magnet drives a CMSG switch for position feedback.
Seats light caps on cosmetic bottles; about 60 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa protects fragile closures at stroke end.
Bore 16 is the smallest in the MA range, so step up if more push is needed: a 20 mm bore gives 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa versus 100.5 N here. The port for this bore is M5x0.8 and the male rod thread is M6x1.0. Keep in mind the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only; if air pressure drops the piston can still move, so external clamping is needed to hold a load.
At 225 mm the 6 mm rod is long for its diameter, so guide the load externally or fit a Y knuckle to limit side load. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight on, running pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the standard magnet lets CMSG or EMSG switches report end positions without a special-order piston.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply clean, 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and expect speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No. The pads are fixed and only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they cannot be tuned the way an adjustable cushion can (that is the MAC family). For damping heavy loads, throttle the exhaust or fit external shock absorbers.
