The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X225-75S 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.
Where the stroke needs tuning during machine trials, the MAJ16X225-75S lets you wind the extend stop anywhere within a 75 mm window without swapping parts. Double-acting with 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore mini pairs a stainless round barrel with a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod, a combination that handles humid food and outdoor cells better than painted aluminium minis.
Budget about 60 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa to stay comfortably inside the rating, or treat it as a 5 kg vertical lift with margin. Fixed bumper pads soften the extend landing (they are not an adjustable air cushion - the MACJ family adds that), the magnet is included as standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches, and LB foot or FA flange mounting bolts straight onto light frames.

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.

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 pusher arm across a 200 mm sorter lane to deflect light cartons; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa covers parcels with under 60 N of sliding friction.
Advances a light rubber stamp head onto moving packs in a coding station; the 75 mm trim window sets contact depth after plate changes.
In a pneumatics training cell, students reset the extend stop within the 75 mm window to test position repeatability on the same cylinder.
Compare 0.5 MPa forces before committing: the next size up, bore 20, gives 157 N push and 131.9 N pull - about 56% more thrust than this unit's 100.5 N - while bore 16 is the entry point of the range. A 225 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod demands external guides for any side load. Remember the stop screw sets only the extend end - it does not hold the load mid-stroke, and the rod will settle if supply pressure drops. Port is M5x0.8; rod thread M6x1.0.
Quick checklist
Push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; push 140.7 N and pull 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 30-800 mm/s, M5x0.8 port, 6 mm rod with M6x1.0 thread.
An external stop screw limits how far the rod extends; turning it sets any extend length inside the ordered 75 mm window. It trims the stroke shorter - it never extends beyond the ordered 225 mm - and it acts as an end stop only, so it will not clamp or hold a load if air pressure is lost.
