About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X225-20S
Trim flexibility is the selling point here: the extend stroke can be shortened by up to 20 mm with an external stop screw, while the 16 mm bore still pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N return, 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, 20.5 kgf theoretical max). The adjustment is purely mechanical, so no extra valves are needed to set the cycle length.
AirTAC rolls the aluminium covers onto a stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plates the 6 mm rod, a combination that stands up to splash and humidity far better than painted mini cylinders. Because the magnet ships as standard, a DMSG switch snaps onto the barrel to signal end positions. As a rule of thumb, keep real work at or under about 60 N at 0.5 MPa - roughly six-tenths of the 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.
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 MAJ16X225-20S Is Used
Carton flap tucker
Folds top flaps on bakery boxes where product heights vary; the 20 mm window absorbs changeover without re-piping the machine.
Denester on a bakery line
Pushes the bottom tray from a stack at 30-800 mm/s; 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa handles sticky trays while the stainless barrel tolerates washdown.
Crimp check fixture
Confirms a connector crimp with a light 60 N class force at 0.5 MPa, giving a pass signal through an attached DMSG switch at the stop.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X225-20S the Right Cylinder?
If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight for the job, the next bore up (20 mm) reaches 157.0 N under the same pressure. Both sizes share the 1/8-inch class plumbing style, but bore 16 alone takes an M5x08 port - check before ordering fittings. The adjuster works as an extension stop, not a lock: with air lost the rod can drift, so never rely on it to park a load.
Mount with an LB foot or FA flange and add an I knuckle where the coupling needs play. Temperature span is -20 to +70 C, and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches straight from stock.
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 MAJ16X225-20S FAQ
Push at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N and pull is 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 140.7 N and pull 120.9 N; the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan real loads at about 60 N at 0.5 MPa, and stay inside 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 40 um filtered air.
No. Every MA-series cylinder, this one included, ships with a piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount on the barrel as standard accessories rather than a special-order option.
