The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X450-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 450mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Half a metre of stroke from a Dia 16 round body: the MAJ16X450-50S gives you 450 mm of reach and a 50 mm on-site trim band for dialling in the extend end position. Double-acting throughout, it develops 100.5 N pushing at 0.5 MPa - budget roughly 60 N for the actual job and it will run all day. Vertically, that is about 5 kg of lift once you keep a 2:1 margin.
The stainless barrel with its hard-chromed rod is the reason to pick this over a painted mini in damp or dusty corners. Bore 16 normally stops at 300 mm, so 450 mm is a made-to-order stroke; the anti-impact bumpers are fixed at both ends, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for end-of-travel detection. The aluminium covers are rolled onto the tube, giving a slim, sealed package with no protruding hardware.

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. |
| ×450 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | 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.
Wind the 50 mm stop screw to match camera height when changeover swaps carton sizes on the same line.
About 60 N of practical push retracts locating pins as pallets pass, and the stainless body shrugs off chip coolant mist.
Pair the standard magnet with CMSG switches so the PLC confirms the trimmed extend position every cycle.
Against neighbours in the range, MAJ20 pushes 157 N and MAJ25 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; if 100.5 N (86.4 N on retract) covers the load, this bore 16 unit costs less in air and space. Remember the 50 mm window only pulls the extend stroke shorter - it cannot add travel, and with air off the rod is free to move, so support any held part separately.
For a 450 mm run choose LB foot mounts for horizontal duty or an FA flange where the cylinder hangs; I and Y knuckles suit pivot joints. Keep side loads off the 6 mm rod over this length - a simple guide rail pays for itself in seal life. Air connection is M5x0.8.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical peak is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0 male; supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and cycle anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band.
The pads at each stroke end are fixed anti-impact bumpers - they absorb the piston's arrival and cut end-of-stroke noise, but they cannot be tuned like an adjustable cushion (that capability lives in the AirTAC MAC family). They decelerate the piston only; they never act as a brake against external loads.
