About the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-30S
The MAJ16X500-30S gives long, light pushes a coarse-plus-fine setting: up to 30 mm of extend-stroke shortening via the external stop screw, on top of a 500 mm made-to-order travel. Air drives the rod in both directions, and fixed anti-impact pads soften the ends without any cushion plumbing.
Output at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N on the extend side and 86.4 N on retract - plan on about 60 N of genuine work, or roughly 5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 factor. The stainless round barrel with its hard-chromed 6 mm rod tolerates humid plants and light washdown, and the factory-fitted magnet means CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches simply clip on.

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 MAJ16X500-30S Is Used
Pick-head lift on a tray loader
A tray loader's suction head lifts light lids over 500 mm; the 30 mm window accommodates tray heights from two suppliers.
Test-rig probe advance
An electronics test rig advances a probe board onto PCB pads, trimming the approach depth by screw after each fixture revision.
Bottle neck-guide set
A bottling conveyor's neck guides reposition between bottle sizes, with the stop screw storing one setting per SKU.
Is the Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-30S the Right Cylinder?
Forces climb quickly with bore: from 100.5 N here to 157 N at MAJ20 and 245.3 N at MAJ25, all at 0.5 MPa, so a one-size-up swap is cheap insurance on marginal loads. Remember the 30 mm stop is an extend-end reference, not a clamp - if air is lost the piston coasts, so add an external brake where holding matters. Mounting choices are the FA flange or LB foot, with I / Y knuckles available on the rod end.
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 MAJ16X500-30S FAQ
Expect 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), ports are M5x0.8, and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
No. The fixed bumper pad only decelerates the mass near stroke end; it is not adjustable like the MAC family's air cushion. Pair the cylinder with FA or LB mounting, trim the 30 mm extend window on site, and remember the 500 mm stroke is a custom length above this bore's 300 mm standard maximum.
