The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ20X80-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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.
Small trim, tight control: the MACJ20X80-10S gives an 80 mm extend stroke that can be shortened on site by up to 10 mm with the stop screw, and every stop lands on a variable air cushion. Double-acting bore 20 output reaches 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, enough for light pick-and-place heads and gate latches. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted stainless round barrel shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted-steel minis, and the hard-chrome 8 mm rod keeps scoring away in damp shops. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG or DMSG switches clip on without a special piston. Plan on roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 157 N rating, and the bore will lift about 8 kg vertically 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.

| 0.7 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.
A 10 mm trim window lets a bottle-stop gate on a filling conveyor be set precisely per bottle pitch, with cushions absorbing the gate landing at up to 800 mm/s.
About 94 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa is ample to snap perforated tabs on folding cartons before sealing, in humid packing halls where the stainless barrel resists condensation.
Pushing sample slides off a tray needs only a few newtons; the 8 kg vertical-lift headroom and standard magnet feed an EMSG switch for slide-present detection.
MACJ20X80-10S suits fixtures needing only a few millimetres of final adjustment; the -20S variant doubles the trim range if commissioning demands it, bore 16 at 100.5 N push (0.5 MPa) fits tighter envelopes, and bore 25 at 245.3 N adds about 55% more force for heavier heads. The stop screw is a mechanical extend-end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts on air loss. FA flange or LB foot mounts with I / Y knuckles cover the fixings, and the 1/8 inch port keeps manifolds compact.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the bore 20 barrel delivers 157 N push and 131.9 N pull; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical ceiling is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and rod speed 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. Every MACJ20X80-10S ships with a magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount straight onto the stainless barrel. The 10 mm stop screw shortens the extend stroke only - it is not a mid-stroke brake.
