The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X300-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 300mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Long reach with a generous tuning range: the MAJ16X300-100S is a double-acting 16 mm mini cylinder whose external stop screw can shorten the 300 mm extend stroke by up to 100 mm on site, ideal when exact gate or slide travel is finalised during commissioning. At 0.5 MPa the rod delivers 100.5 N out and 86.4 N back.
Its stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod stand up to washdown better than painted-steel minis, and the riveted body stays slim along the full 300 mm travel. Sized sensibly, that means roughly 60 N of real push at 0.5 MPa - or about a 5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - enough to swing a light conveyor gate or raise small trays. A magnet ships as standard for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and fixed bumper pads ease the stroke ends without adjustable-cushion plumbing.

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.

|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×300 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -100 | 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.
The 300 mm travel swings a light divider gate across a narrow belt lane, with up to 100 mm of trim to absorb late layout changes on the line.
With about a 5 kg vertical lift at a halved margin, it raises small stacker trays of vials between pick stations at up to 800 mm/s.
Side-pushes blister cards into an outfeed chute with about 60 N of working force, and the standard magnet drives a DMSG switch to confirm the parked position.
When comparing bores, the 20 mm MAJ adds muscle (157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) while this 16 mm keeps fittings small with M5x0.8 ports. Remember the stop screw only pins the extend position - it will not hold a load mid-stroke if air bleeds off, so add an external lock where gravity is involved. On a 300 mm stroke, guide the load externally or fit an I or Y rod knuckle to limit side load on the 6 mm rod; FA flange and LB foot mounts are available.
Quick checklist
For the MAJ16X300-100S: push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, push 140.7 N (pull 120.9 N) at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
No. Every MAJ cylinder, including the MAJ16X300-100S, ships with a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches clamp straight onto the stainless barrel. The bumpers are fixed anti-impact pads - they soften the ends of stroke but are not adjustable air cushions.
