The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X200-50S 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.
A 200 mm stroke with a 50 mm trim window gives the MACJ20X200-50S real setup freedom: the extend stroke can be shortened on the machine without swapping cylinders. The bore 20 body is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so end-of-stroke shock stays controlled even at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
At 0.5 MPa the piston pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N; plan on roughly 94 N of useful force so the cylinder works with margin instead of at its limit. In vertical terms that is about 8 kg of lift with a 2:1 reserve. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome 8 mm rod shrug off washdown and damp shops, and the built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on out of the box.

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 | 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.
Kicks light cartons off a takeaway conveyor; 94 N of working force copes with corrugated weight and friction, and the 50 mm trim sets the exact park position.
Holds aluminium brackets against a drill jig stop; with 157 N at 0.5 MPa the clamp stays positive, and the trim window lets you back the stroke off for thin stock.
Raises small housings 200 mm between stations; about 8 kg of vertical lift with margin suits parts up to a few kilograms, guided in a slide to spare the 8 mm rod.
Size both ways: the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N, so bore 20 with about 94 N of working force fits mid-weight gating and clamping. The 200 mm stroke exposes the 8 mm rod to side-load bending, so guide the load externally instead of cantilevering it. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for extend only - if air is lost the piston still drifts, so never count on it to hold a load. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting and add I or Y knuckles where the load pivots.
Quick checklist
Push is 157 N and pull 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 219.8 N and 184.7 N. The theoretical ceiling is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, both ends have a variable cushion, and the extend stroke can be trimmed anywhere across the 50 mm window.
Bore 20 uses a 1/8 inch port with PT thread as standard and G or NPT as options; the 8 mm rod carries an M8x1.25 male thread. The magnet is built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel.
