About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X250-100S
Slender reach is this model's job: 250 mm of travel on a 16 mm bore, with the external stop screw cutting the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 100 mm window (down to roughly 150 mm). It is double-acting, so the same air returns it - 100.5 N out and 86.4 N in at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 / 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), rod speed 30-800 mm/s.
A 6 mm rod spanning 250 mm is the engineering trade-off: keep side loads off it and guide the payload externally. The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated rod hold up in damp or outdoor frames, and on the push rating the rod hoists about 10 kg at face value - plan on 5 kg vertically once you allow a 2:1 margin. Bumper pads temper stroke end, and the standard-built magnet feeds CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches anywhere along the barrel.

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 MAJ16X250-100S Is Used
Lift-gate for cable trays
Raises a light inspection hatch on a test gantry - the 250 mm reach clears tray height, trimmed to 150 mm to stay clear of racking.
Probe extension arm
Extends an inspection probe deep into a slim machine frame, external guide rails taking any side load off the 6 mm rod.
Narrow-aisle flag indicator
Pops a status flag above a pallet-rack picking lane; the CMSG switch confirms the flag is fully raised before the picker enters.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X250-100S the Right Cylinder?
This is the smallest bore the MA family offers; a 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) is the upgrade path if loads creep up. Because the 6 mm rod is long, combine the LB foot with an FA flange where possible and carry side loads on an external guide, not the rod. The adjuster sets a firm extend end stop only - it is not a mid-stroke lock and the piston will drift on air loss, so detect or clamp critical positions.
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 MAJ16X250-100S FAQ
Yes - every MA-series cylinder, this one included, ships with the magnet built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop on at any point along the 250 mm barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. No special-order piston is needed.
Push 100.5 N / pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 140.7 / 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa; stroke 250 mm with a 100 mm extend-trim window; ports M5x0.8; 6 mm rod with M6x1.0 male thread; 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply; speed 30-800 mm/s.
