The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X50-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 50mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Small, round and stainless, the MAJ16X50-30S is a double-acting mini cylinder whose extend stroke can be trimmed by up to 30 mm on site with an external stop screw. Running on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa - so size real work around 60 N, and it will lift about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
The rolling-packed body pairs a stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod (20 um), so mild corrosion and washdown splash are far less of a threat than on painted-steel minis. A fixed anti-impact pad softens stroke-end contact; it decelerates but is not an adjustable cushion - that is the MAC family. The built-in magnet is standard, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without a special 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.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Sweeps formed micro-brackets off a die face; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa clears light aluminium parts, and the 30 mm trim window lets the toolmaker set sweep length per die.
Presses pressure-sensitive labels onto cosmetic bottles; the stainless barrel tolerates the sticky, wipe-down environment around adhesive heads.
Retracts a spring latch on a small electrical cabinet before the door opens; bumper pads quiet the latch seating.
Dia 16 is the smallest MAJ bore: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, versus 157.0 N push from the next bore up (Dia 20). If your load creeps above about 60 N, move to bore 20 before extending this one. The 30 mm window suits nests that get re-trimmed after tooling changes. Remember the stop screw sets the extend position only; with air off, the rod is free to move - add an external lock if that matters. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y rod knuckles, and note the M5x0.8 ports and M6x1.0 male rod thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke (50 mm) is trimmed by an external stop screw within the ordered 30 mm window, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and speed is 30-800 mm/s. Port is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
The anti-impact bumper pads are fixed parts of the cylinder - they cushion stroke end but are not adjustable air cushions. The piston magnet comes standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or electronic switches can be fitted anywhere along the barrel without special ordering.
