The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X225-30S 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.
For light pushes that need a longer throw, this 225 mm stroke MAJ carries a 30 mm adjustment window on the extend side. The 16 mm bore produces 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, 86.4 N on retract, and 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Double-acting air performs both moves; the stop screw only shortens extension, never lengthens it.
A stainless barrel rolled onto aluminium covers keeps the round body sealed and compact, while the 20 um hard-chrome rod resists rust in damp or outdoor air. Fixed bumper pads take the sting out of stroke ends - they decelerate, they are not adjustable air cushions. Halving the roughly 10 kg vertical-lift equivalent leaves about 5 kg of comfortable lifting headroom for this bore.

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. |
| -30 | 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.
Swings a light latch arm on a water-treatment skid; the hard-chrome 6 mm rod and stainless barrel cope with rain and humidity year-round.
Ejects forklift battery compartment covers for inspection, with the 30 mm window set per vehicle model during changeover.
Keeps light tension on wire pay-off stands; 86.4 N of return force at 0.5 MPa maintains steady pull through the 225 mm travel.
Compared upward, a 25 mm bore would roughly double the push to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; within bore 16, plan on 100.5 N and treat about 60 N as the realistic working budget. Note that the trim screw sets where extension ends; it does not brake mid-stroke, and a de-pressurized cylinder will still yield to the load, so add a external clamp for load holding.
FA flange and LB foot mountings are available, and I or Y rod knuckles suit flexible coupling - the adjustable version carries no SDB or back-cover code. With a 30 mm window and 30-800 mm/s speed span, one unit can cover several product heights on the same station.
Quick checklist
The full set: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Run it on 40 um filtered air between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Choose an FA flange for face mounting or an LB foot for base mounting, and fit I or Y rod knuckles where alignment needs flexibility. As an adjustable-stroke model it has no SDB option and no back-cover mounting code.
