The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X50-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 50mm 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.
Where a fixed-stroke MAC pins you to one length, the MACJ20X50-10S arrives at 50 mm with a 10 mm trim band, so setters can shave the extend stroke on the machine instead of re-ordering. Output is 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, and variable air cushions damp both ends of travel.
The round shell is a riveted stainless tube with aluminium covers and a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod that shrugs off condensation near wash stations. Split the 16 kgf thrust figure in half and this cylinder lifts about 8 kg vertically on a 2:1 margin, while the factory-fitted magnet lets DMSG or EMSG switches read end positions with no special-order piston.

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. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
A 50 mm stroke folds small flaps while the 10 mm window absorbs carton tolerance; 157 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for lightweight board.
The stainless barrel and chrome rod take splash from aqueous reagents in stride, and the cushion lands each tray quietly.
Stops parts at the bowl exit with roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, sized with margin below the 157 N rating for jam loads.
Put real outputs side by side: 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa from a 16 mm bore, 245.3 N from a 25 mm bore, and this 20 mm size between them. The 10 mm adjuster shortens extend only and never stretches travel past 50 mm; being an end stop rather than a brake, a dropped pressure line lets the load back-drive the rod, so rest the load mechanically where holding counts. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, option an I or Y rod knuckle, keep side loads off the 8 mm rod on long offsets, and rely on the standard magnet to keep sensor wiring a clip-on job.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Bore is 20 mm, rod 8 mm, ports 1/8", supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
An external stop screw limits rod extension anywhere within the 10 mm window, and travel can never exceed the 50 mm base stroke. Variable cushions at both ends absorb the landing, and the standard-built magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position signals.
