The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X25-10SH is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 25mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The 16 mm bore sits at the light-duty end of AirTAC's MA range, and this version adds a 10 mm trim window: turn the external stop screw and the 25 mm extend stroke shortens anywhere inside it. Double-acting throughout, it develops 100.5 N pushing and 86.4 N pulling at 0.5 MPa (140.7 / 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa). Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and rod speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Build quality is where this mini earns its keep: a stainless round barrel riveted to aluminium covers with a hard-chrome plated rod, so damp or washed-down stations do not chew it up like painted minis. At 0.5 MPa the 100.5 N rating divides down to about 10 kgf of lift, which halves to roughly 5 kg of vertical payload on a 2:1 margin. The fixed anti-impact pad decelerates the rod at stroke end (a bumper, not an adjustable cushion), and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches as standard equipment.

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.
A 10 mm trim lets a packaging line press stoppers onto 2 mL vials, tuning the depth per batch without swapping the cylinder.
On a lathe or press out-feed, the M5x0.8 ports and a CMSG switch confirm eject and retract on short 25 mm cycles.
Clamps small optical or sample holders in test rigs; the stainless barrel tolerates occasional wipe-down in lab air.
Bore 16 is the smallest MA offers; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight, step up to bore 20 for 157 N at the same pressure. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke to a mechanical end position - it is not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod will still drift if air is lost. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y rod knuckle on the 6 mm rod, and note the -10 window is the full trim range you ordered.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, ports M5x0.8, rod 6 mm with M6x1.0 male thread.
An external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered -10 window; it is a hard end stop, not a load-holding brake. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on with no special-order piston.
