About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-10S
A 10 mm adjustment band makes the MAJ16X500-10S the trim-friendly pick: the extend stroke can be shortened on site by up to 10 mm with an external stop screw, handy when a fixture lands a few millimetres out of spec. Double-acting air drive and fixed bumper pads keep travel smooth across the full 500 mm run.
The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, which works out to roughly 60 N of practical force once margin is allowed; as a vertical guide figure that is about 5 kg of lift at a 2:1 ratio. The rolled stainless barrel and hard-chromed 6 mm rod handle humid or lightly washed-down cells better than painted-steel minis, and the standard-built magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-10S Is Used
Wire-form gauge stop
A wire-bending cell uses the 10 mm window to absorb fixture wear, nudging the stop screw instead of remachining the jig.
Label press anvil nudge
On a narrow-web label press the cylinder presses a light anvil roller, with the 10 mm band covering roller-diameter changes.
Optical scanner dock
A desktop inspection scanner docks its camera head over 500 mm, and DMSG switches verify the docked and parked ends.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-10S the Right Cylinder?
Happy with 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa? Stay at bore 16; for heavier pulls the MAJ20 version reaches 157 N and the MAJ25 reaches 245.3 N in the same slim format. Note that the stop screw positions the extend limit but holds nothing mid-stroke - with air off, the rod moves freely, so do not rely on it to park a load. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y knuckles on the rod end, and support long side-loaded travels externally because the 6 mm rod is slender over 500 mm.
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 MAJ16X500-10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa expect 100.5 N pushing and 86.4 N pulling; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N and 120.9 N. The ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa theoretical. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), the port is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
The rolled round body resists mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted-steel minis, packing a standard magnet and a hard-chromed 6 mm rod into a slim envelope. Also note the 500 mm stroke is built to order, since 300 mm is the longest standard stroke for this bore.
