The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X200-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
Few compact cylinders offer a 100 mm tuning band, but the MACJ20X200-100S lets you set its extend stroke anywhere from about 100 mm to the full 200 mm after installation - handy when conveyor heights or fixture positions change between product runs. The cylinder is double-acting with variable air cushions at both ends, delivering a 157 N push at 0.5 MPa from the 20 mm bore.
The long, slim body stays serviceable in wet or dusty plants because the barrel is stainless steel and the rod is carbon steel plated with 20 um of hard chrome; the aluminium covers are rolled onto the tube for a sealed riveted body. On capacity, count on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 8 kg lifted vertically with margin.

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 | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 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.
One cylinder serves multiple carton sizes: trim the extend stroke anywhere in the 100 mm window so the stop face matches each lane, with the cushion softening repeated impacts.
A 200 mm clearance swing gated by a 157 N push; position feedback from a CMSG switch on the standard magnet ties the gate into the charger interlock.
Advancing tube stock into the bend die; the wide trim range handles different tube lengths without swapping the cylinder.
At 200 mm the 8 mm rod starts to care about side loads: guide the load externally and keep thrust in line with the bore axis, or step to the MACJ25 (245.3 N at 0.5 MPa) if the job also needs more muscle; the MACJ16 (100.5 N) covers lighter, shorter pushes. The 100 mm window shortens the extend stroke only - it is a position stop, and on air loss the rod can still drift, so add external holding where a load must stay put. FA flange or LB foot mounting, I or Y knuckles on the rod, and the built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches complete the package.
Quick checklist
The 20 mm bore gives 157.0 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 219.8 N push with 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical peak is 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C.
Use the FA flange or LB foot and keep side loads off the 8 mm rod - the trim stop does not act as a load brake if air pressure is lost. The magnet is fitted as standard on every MACJ, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel to report both end positions.
