About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X240-30S
When a light load must travel a long way in a tight space, the 240 mm stroke of the MAJ16X240-30S does the job from a 16 mm bore body. It is double-acting, with an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke anywhere within a 30 mm window, and it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The riveted stainless barrel resists corrosion in damp or lightly washed-down areas where painted minis flake.
Keep real duty near 60 N at 0.5 MPa for a comfortable service margin, or count on roughly 5 kg of vertical lift once a 2:1 margin is applied. Fixed anti-impact pads soften both stroke ends without adding a tunable cushion function, rod speed spans 30-800 mm/s, and the standard-built magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report position with no options box ticked.

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 MAJ16X240-30S Is Used
Cabinet connector probe
Extends a test probe deep into a control cabinet to verify connector seating; 240 mm reach clears harnesses and the M5x0.8 port keeps plumbing small.
Stacker pin drive
Drives a locking pin into a small parts elevator carriage; roughly 5 kg vertical capability covers light magazines with margin to spare.
Tray presence check
Pushes a feeler across a deep oven tray slot to confirm loading; the stainless barrel stands up to warm, humid air near the chamber.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X240-30S the Right Cylinder?
At 240 mm this unit is well inside the 300 mm standard stroke limit for bore 16, so no made-to-order barrel is needed. Size check: nothing smaller exists (16 mm is the smallest MAJ bore), while bore 20 delivers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa if 100.5 N feels tight. A 6 mm rod over a 240 mm stroke is slender - guide all side loads externally and keep thrust in line with the rod to avoid bending. FA flange, LB foot, and I or Y knuckles suit most fixtures. The trim stop sets the extend end only and never locks the piston mid-stroke.
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 MAJ16X240-30S FAQ
100.5 N extend and 86.4 N retract at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, port M5x0.8, 6 mm rod, M6x1.0 male thread.
Both come as standard. The stainless barrel pairs with a hard-chrome plated rod, and aluminium covers are rolled onto the tube for a sealed, compact round body. The built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches right out of the box - no special piston or surcharge required.
