About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-100S
The MAJ16X500-100S pairs AirTAC's smallest bore with a 500 mm run and a generous 100 mm trim window: an external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke anywhere within that 100 mm range once the cylinder is on the machine. It is double acting, so air drives the rod both ways, and fixed anti-impact bumper pads soak up stroke-end shock without needing an air cushion.
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; in practice that is about 60 N of usable work per cycle after margin, or roughly 5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 factor. The riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chromed 6 mm rod shrug off washdown and damp shop air far better than painted minis, and every MA unit carries a built-in magnet, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches snap on with no special order.

Where the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-100S Is Used
Vial-filling depth set
On a small vial line the 100 mm window lets technicians dial the fill-head travel to each vial format, then lock the stop screw in place.
Carton flap tuck-in
With about 60 N of working force the cylinder tucks light carton flaps over a conveyor reach of up to 500 mm.
Sample-tray lab gate
A lab autoloader gates sample trays with the adjustable end stop, and CMSG switches confirm both rod positions along the long travel.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-100S the Right Cylinder?
The 16 mm bore is the floor of the range; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels thin for your load, step up to MAJ20 (157 N) or MAJ25 (245.3 N) in the same compact adjustable format. Bear in mind the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - it sets where the rod bottoms out but does not lock it, so the piston will drift if air is lost. On a 500 mm stroke with a 6 mm rod, keep side loads low and guide the load externally; FA flange, LB foot, and I / Y rod knuckles cover the mounting.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Bumper models: keep speed within the rated range.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are M5x0.8, the rod thread is M6x1.0, and pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
An external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered 100 mm window; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, and the fixed bumper pads soften the landing at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The 500 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, since the standard maximum for this bore is 300 mm.
