The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X500-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 500mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A 75 mm on-site trim window is the widest of the small MAJ adjustables, letting one 500 mm cylinder serve several stroke settings across a machine family. The double-acting piston pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; derated, that is about 60 N of practical force, or roughly 5 kg lifted vertically on a 2:1 margin.
Nothing here is tied-rod or extruded profile: the aluminium-alloy covers are rolled onto a stainless tube around a stainless block, sealing the body and leaving a smooth outside for wipe-down. The 6 mm rod carries 20 um of hard chrome against wear and mild corrosion.

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. |
| ×500 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | 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.
Acts as an adjustable end stop that sets different tray formats on a carton former, the 75 mm window covering the whole format range.
Nudges small parcels off a narrow belt into a chute, retreating fast enough at up to 800 mm/s to keep sort rates up.
Pushes locating pins into wooden jig frames on a workshop line; the stainless body tolerates dust and the odd damp wipe-down.
Match the job to 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and 86.4 N on retract - when you need real margin, bore 20 gives 157.0 N. Remember the trim is a mechanical stop that shortens extend travel within 75 mm; it does not act as a brake, and the rod will coast if supply air fails mid-motion.
Choose an FA flange for face mounting or an LB foot for base frames, with I and Y knuckles available for linkage work. Over a 500 mm span the slim rod will suffer under side load, so support the workpiece on external guides rather than leaning on the rod.
Quick checklist
Expect 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Pressure may run 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The barrel is stainless steel rather than painted tube, while the 6 mm piston rod is carbon steel with 20 um hard chrome plating - together they cope with humidity, splash and periodic washdown far better than painted-steel mini cylinders.
