The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X5-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 5mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Small parts do not need big travel. The MAJ16X5-10S is a double-acting 16 mm bore mini cylinder with a 5 mm stroke that an external stop screw can trim by up to 10 mm, pushing 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa - light clamping, ejecting and confirm-position duty on compact fixtures.
Its riveted round body pairs a stainless-steel barrel with a 20 um hard-chrome plated rod, so splashes and wipe-downs in food or outdoor cells are far less damaging than they are for painted minis. In practice, treat about 60 N - roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating - as the force available for real work, and note the magnet is built in as standard for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG 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.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×5 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
Knocks a 3 g plastic cap off a sorting chute in a bottle-capping line - the 5 mm travel is all the part needs to clear the rail.
With the magnet and a CMSG switch, it confirms a latch seated on a PCB test fixture, cycling between two end points 5 mm apart.
Tucks the end flap of a cosmetic carton at the folding station, where a longer stroke would smash the box wall.
This 16 mm bore is the smallest in the MA family, so there is no step down - if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N at 0.7 MPa) falls short, move up to the 20 mm bore, which pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. M5x0.8 ports keep the plumbing tiny. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, with I and Y rod knuckles as accessories. The trim screw sets the extend end position only and will not hold a load if air pressure is lost.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with M5x0.8 ports and a 6 mm rod threaded M6x1.0.
Fixed anti-impact pads cushion the stroke ends - they decelerate only and are not adjustable air cushions like the MACJ offers. The body is a riveted round barrel: stainless-steel tube, hard-chrome plated rod and aluminium covers, compact enough to bolt into 5 mm-travel gaps.
