The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X250-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 250mm 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.
Reach 250 mm without giving up the compact round MA body. This double-acting MACJ carries a variable air cushion at both ends, so the rod decelerates smoothly even at higher speeds or under a heavier mass, and a 75 mm stop-screw window lets maintenance trim the extend stroke on the machine instead of re-ordering a new cylinder. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod stand up to humid plant air and occasional hose-down.
Push at 0.5 MPa is 157 N; allow about 94 N for the actual duty, which still lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet ships built in, so positioning with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches needs no special piston. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 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.
| 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.
Slides fabric gates on a weaving line; the 75 mm trim range dials the gate opening to the cloth width without re-plumbing.
Moves a diverter plate across a 250 mm parcel chute; cushioned ends stop the plate slamming even at brisk cycle rates.
Feeds cable coils off a payout rack, the stainless body tolerating the humidity of a wire-drawing shop.
For 250 mm of travel the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) suits very light gates, while the 25 mm bore (245.3 N) takes heavier shuttles. Long strokes see side loads: keep the load guided or flexibly coupled so the 8 mm rod is not bent over its full extension. The adjuster is a mechanical extend stop, not a load lock - expect drift if air is lost. FA flange or LB foot, I or Y knuckles, PT / G / NPT ports.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 157 N and pull is 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa it gives 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke trims within the 75 mm window and the cushion at each end is variable.
Choose FA flange or LB foot, and I or Y rod knuckles where the load pivots. The variable air cushion at each end is tuned with the cover screws to absorb deceleration shock. Note the extend stop shortens stroke only within the 75 mm window and holds nothing if pressure drops.
