The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X75-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm 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.
For stations where product height changes between runs, the MACJ20X75-30S trades fixed travel for a 30 mm band of adjustment, set by a stop screw at the head. Air works both sides of the piston and a variable cushion softens each end of travel.
The round stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod resist the corrosion that pits painted minis in food and outdoor cells. Force at 0.5 MPa reads 157 N forward and 131.9 N back; keeping real duty near 94 N, about an 8 kg vertical lift with margin, keeps the unit comfortably inside its rating.

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. |
| ×75 | 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.
Sets a product stop on a conveyor that carries cartons of changing heights; the 30 mm window re-tunes the stop between SKUs in minutes.
Actuates a small slide gate dosing granules from a hopper; variable cushioning quiets the gate slam on fast lines running up to 800 mm/s.
Presses glue or epoxy nozzles onto connectors in an electronics potting cell, where the stainless barrel shrugs off resin spatter and wipe-down solvents.
Run the numbers both directions: the 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N and the 25 mm yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, bracketing the 157 N of this unit. Across 70 to 75 mm of trimmable travel keep side loads off the 8 mm rod or guide the load externally to avoid bending. The adjuster is an end stop, not a holding brake - on air loss the piston still moves - so lock with valving. FA and LB mounts plus I / Y knuckles cover fit-up, and the magnet ships inside for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
Forces: 157.0 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, 32 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Bore 20 mm with an 8 mm rod (M8x1.25), 1/8 in port, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working pressure, 30-800 mm/s speed, cushion variable at both ends, extend stroke adjustable across a 30 mm window.
The variable cushion at each end soaks up deceleration energy, so cycle speed can climb toward the top of the 30-800 mm/s range or heavier fixtures can stop without hammering the covers. Combined with the 30 mm trim band, one cylinder covers several station depths. A stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod keep it running in humid cells, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
