The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X80-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Half the 80 mm base stroke stays tunable: the 50 mm window is set by an external stop screw, so one cylinder serves several product heights on the same station. As a double-acting 16 mm bore it produces 100.5 N extend and 86.4 N retract at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N extend at 0.7 MPa, with 20.5 kgf as the theoretical top. Keep a 40 percent reserve and you still bank about 60 N of reliable push at 0.5 MPa per stroke.
On the lifting side, the full 0.5 MPa rating equates to roughly 10 kg, so with a 2:1 safety factor the barrel lifts about 5 kg vertically - a realistic ceiling for small nests and lids. The stainless tube and hard-chrome 6 mm rod handle splash and humidity, the rolling-packed aluminium covers keep the envelope tight, and the standard-fit magnet lets CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches sense both ends. Supply 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.

| 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.

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.
An 80 mm sweep presses the leading edge of a shrink sleeve; the 50 mm adjustment tracks label height across bottle sizes without re-plumbing the station.
A short 80 mm flag swing marks pallets at the scanner; the stainless body stands up to dock-house condensation while the magnet and EMSG switch report flag-down status to the WMS.
A 60 N-class press seats small ferrules; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa leaves margin, and the fixed bumper stops the ram ringing at the bottom of each 80 mm stroke.
This 16 mm unit sits at the bottom of the MAJ ladder; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight, the 20 mm bore delivers 157.0 N and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N at the same pressure. Because the stop screw pins only the extend end, a suspended load can settle when air is lost - it holds position by air pressure, not by a mechanical lock. Choose the FA flange for face mounting or the LB foot for base fixing, keep cycle speeds between 30-800 mm/s, and remember the standard magnet when specifying switch position.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder extends with 100.5 N and retracts with 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N and 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf, so a margin-protected working figure is about 60 N of push.
The 16 mm bore uses M5x0.8 ports and an M6x1.0 male rod thread on a 6 mm rod. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot and add an I or Y knuckle at the rod end; the adjustable version has no SDB option.
