The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X250-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 250mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Where one station handles parts of several heights, the 75 mm trim window of this 250 mm stroke cylinder lets maintenance dial in the extend stroke with a screwdriver instead of ordering new hardware. Push force is 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa for this 16 mm bore, and being double-acting, air also returns the rod.
The stainless barrel and riveted covers keep the body short and sealed, while fixed bumper pads soften end-of-stroke impact - note these only decelerate, they are not adjustable air cushions. A useful planning figure: about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, equivalent to lifting roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×250 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | 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.
One fixture for three carton depths: the 75 mm window lets operators re-set the extend stroke per SKU without swapping cylinders.
Stainless barrel and chrome rod shrug off rinse splash while the magnet drives a CMSG switch to confirm gate position.
Ejecting biscuit trays at 30-800 mm/s; the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa handles lightweight product cleanly.
For 16 mm bore the next size up is MAJ20 with 157 N at 0.5 MPa; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa leaves your margin thin, step up. No smaller bores exist in this family, so 16 is the lightest MAJ. The 75 mm window helps when fixtures vary; remember the stop only shortens the extend stroke and cannot clamp position against air loss. Choose FA flange or LB foot plus I or Y rod knuckles, and mount CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches anywhere along the stainless barrel thanks to the standard magnet.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um, at 30-800 mm/s.
No - the external stop only shortens the extend stroke and acts as an end-stop. If air pressure is lost the piston can still move, so use separate mechanical stops or a locking solution where a load must be held. Port is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
