The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X25-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 25mm 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.
With just 25 mm of travel and a 30 mm on-site trim window, this MACJ packs a double-acting push and a variable air cushion at each end into a tight envelope. The stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium covers, plus the hard-chrome plated rod, shrugs off splashes and washdown that would lift paint off ordinary painted-steel minis. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), rod speed 30-800 mm/s.
At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore delivers 157 N of push - plan on roughly 94 N of real work so the cylinder is not running at its ceiling, enough to lift about 8 kg vertically with margin. The magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on. The adjuster is an extend-side end stop, not a mid-stroke brake - with air lost the rod can still drift back.

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.

|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×25 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Trims the 25 mm extend stroke down to kick a finished pin off a machining fixture, cushioned so the part is not scratched.
Pushes short divert blades between conveyor lanes; the 157 N push at 0.5 MPa handles light cartons at line speed.
Ejects capped vials from a rotary capper pocket, the stainless barrel coping with daily wipe-downs in the filling hall.
If 157 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 16 mm bore of the MACJ16 still pushes 100.5 N; if the load grows, step up to MACJ25 for 245.3 N. Trim the extend stroke anywhere inside the 30 mm window with the stop screw; it sets position but will not hold a load against gravity when pressure drops. Mount FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y knuckles, and specify G or NPT thread if PT ports do not suit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 157 N push, 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N push, 184.7 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and the extend stroke is trimmed within the 30 mm window by the stop screw.
The riveted stainless tube plus hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resist corrosion in damp or washed-down areas where painted minis rust. Both ends carry a variable air cushion, and the built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard.
