The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X30-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A compact 16 mm bore round-body cylinder built for short, precise moves: the MAJ16X30-30S runs double-acting and carries an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke anywhere within its 30 mm window, so the 30 mm travel can be dialled down to the exact reach a fixture needs. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N.
The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod shrug off washdown and damp air, and the riveted aluminium covers keep the envelope slim. In practice, budget about 60 N of that 100.5 N push for real work at 0.5 MPa - a comfortable figure for ejecting small caps or clamping thin parts. Fixed anti-impact pads soften both stroke ends, and the built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston.

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.
The 30 mm window lets a technician dial the 100.5 N press stroke down to seat bottle caps without crushing them, and the 6 mm rod keeps the head compact over the nest.
Mounted beside a parts nest, the cylinder kicks finished bushings off the fixture; about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa clears light aluminium parts easily.
Because the magnet is standard, a CMSG switch on the stainless barrel signals fully-extended and retracted states to the PLC with no sensor retrofit.
This 16 mm bore is the smallest in the MAJ family; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa comes up short, move to the 20 mm bore (157.0 N push) or the 25 mm bore (245.3 N). The stop screw sets the extend position only - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so a hung load will still drift if air is lost. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y rod knuckle if the tooling needs it, and run at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Supply air is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed is 30-800 mm/s, and the port on this 16 mm bore is M5x0.8.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke within the ordered 30 mm window - turn it in and the rod stops earlier. It is a mechanical end stop, not an air cushion and not a load lock: the fixed bumper pads only soften the impact, and the piston can still drift if air pressure is lost.
