The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X70-20S 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.
Need a stroke you can dial in after the machine is built? The MAJ16X70-20S ships double-acting with a 20 mm extend-trim window operated by an external stop screw. On 0.7 MPa supply the 16 mm bore reaches 140.7 N push; at 0.5 MPa it gives 100.5 N with 86.4 N on retract.
Round out the choice by comparing the family: plain MA is the fixed-stroke twin, MACJ adds an adjustable cushion, and MAD doubles the rod for anti-rotation work. Here, a sensible working budget is about 60 N at 0.5 MPa (0.6 of rated push), which covers spring-return guards and light clamps with margin. FA flange and LB foot bases plus I and Y knuckles bolt to most small fixtures, and the standard magnet keeps CMSG sensing available from day one.

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. |
| -20 | 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.
About 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa seats a light interlock gate; the 20 mm trim realigns the latch after fixture changes.
Electronics test fixtures use the stop screw to set probe contact depth on the 70 mm approach without re-machining the mount.
A CMSG switch on the standard magnet confirms the plunger has extended into a tote locater on a small storage carousel.
Size up from this 70 mm model by bore, not stroke: bore 20 pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa in the same riveted round body, while bore 16 (this model) is the light-duty entry. The trim screw is purely a mechanical end stop for the extend side - if air pressure drops the rod can still drift, so add an external clamp where position must be kept. Stainless barrel, M5x0.8 ports, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Theoretical ceiling 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Port M5x0.8; 6 mm rod with M6x1.0 male thread; standard strokes run up to 300 mm.
No. Every MA-series cylinder, this one included, ships with the piston magnet built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight onto the barrel for position feedback - no special-order piston required.
