The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X75-30SLB 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.
The MACJ20X75-30SLB pairs a 20 mm bore with a 75 mm stroke and a 30 mm extend-trim window, so the forward stroke can be shortened on site with a stop screw instead of ordering a custom length. It is double-acting with a variable air cushion at each end and runs on filtered air from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 132 N; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 220 N.
Its riveted stainless-steel barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and humidity far better than painted minis, with aluminium covers rolled onto the tube for a sealed round body. The magnet comes built in, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip on out of the box. Plan on about 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa; vertically that is roughly 16 kgf at full rating, or about 8 kg lifted with a 2:1 margin.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 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.
Foot-mounted stopper gate on a bottling conveyor where bottle heights change by batch; trim the 75 mm extend within the 30 mm window and re-run without swapping cylinders.
Pushes cartons into an infeed lane on a food line; the stainless barrel tolerates daily washdown while the cushions settle each push at up to 800 mm/s.
The built-in magnet drives a CMSG switch at both trim positions so the PLC confirms the gate is seated before filling starts.
Compare across the MA range first: a 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa while a 25 mm bore reaches 245.3 N, so the 20 mm sits mid-pack at 157 N. For reaction loads under about 90 N it is the sweet spot; step up to 25 mm above that. The LB foot base in this code anchors the body firmly to a machine plate, and the 30 mm window suits recipes needing a few trim steps. The stop screw shortens the extend stroke only - it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the rod still drifts if air is lost. Ports are 1/8" on this bore.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 132 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 220 N and pull 185 N; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), with a 30 mm extend-trim window on a 75 mm stroke.
The LB foot fixes the stainless barrel to a machine plate for side-loaded pusher duty; FA flange and I / Y rod knuckles are alternatives. The standard piston magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches with no special order.
