The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X400-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 400mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Spanning 400 mm of travel, the MAJ16X400-100S is a made-to-order stroke for this 16 mm bore, where the standard list tops out at 300 mm. The -100 suffix adds an external stop screw so the extend stroke can be cut back by up to 100 mm in service. Output at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N back - keep real duty near 60 N for a long service life.
Over this much travel, the 6 mm hard-chrome rod is the part to protect: guide the load externally and keep side forces off the bushing. The riveted stainless tube shrugs off condensation on long conveyor runs, and fixed bumper pads tame both ends of the 400 mm sweep. A magnet is included as standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position switches.

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 100 mm window sets the kick depth per lane; 100.5 N swings light parcels off the belt anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band.
Long 400 mm travel opens a machine guard panel, while the stainless barrel copes with washdown in a food plant.
An EMSG switch on the standard magnet confirms full seat, and the trim screw backs the stop off for taller parts.
A 400 mm stroke at 100.5 N suits light, guided parts - think diverting a small carton, not lifting a heavy bracket. For more muscle at similar travel, compare the 20 mm bore (157.0 N at 0.5 MPa) or the 25 mm bore (245.3 N). The stop screw is an extend-stroke end stop and offers no holding against air loss. Mount via FA flange or LB foot and align the rear pivot carefully on long strokes.
Quick checklist
No - standard strokes for this bore run to 300 mm, so MAJ16X400-100S is produced to order. Force figures stay those of the bore: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, 20.5 kgf theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
Keep the load externally guided so the 6 mm rod sees minimal side load, and remember the -100 stop screw is a positioning end stop rather than a brake - the rod drifts if air fails. The built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches anywhere along the stainless barrel.
