The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X70-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 70mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Fine positioning in a tight package: the MAJ16X70-10S is double-acting with a 10 mm on-site trim of the extend stroke, set by an external stop screw. Bore 16 output measures 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa.
Vertical moves are where the numbers get practical: 100.5 N equals about 10 kgf of raw lift, so with a 2:1 margin you can plan on lifting roughly 5 kg vertically. Build quality backs that up - a riveted stainless round barrel, a hard-chrome rod and grease-storing piston seals. The magnet is built in as standard, so DMSG or EMSG switches snap on for mid-cycle position checks.

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. |
| ×70 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
A 10 mm window is enough to take up part tolerance on a machined locating fixture, with the 6 mm rod driving a light clamp finger.
Lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, so small stamped parts can be pushed off a die table cleanly.
The magnet comes standard, letting a DMSG switch flag each eject stroke on a small parts conveyor without special ordering.
At the bottom of the MA range, this 16 mm bore suits light tooling; the next size up, bore 20, delivers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa if loads grow. Remember the stop screw is an end stop for the extend stroke, not a load-holding brake - a load under gravity can still drift when air drops, so add external support where needed. FA flange or LB foot mounting plus I and Y knuckles; supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
Push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The 16 mm bore takes M5x0.8 ports and carries a 6 mm rod with M6x1.0 male thread.
Yes in damp or food-wash areas: the rolled stainless tube plus the 20 um hard-chrome rod resists the corrosion that plagues painted barrels. The riveted round body also stays slim, so it fits narrow machine frames where bulkier minis will not.
