The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X100-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
Adjustability worth half the window: the MACJ25X100-50S lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on the machine, no shimming required. It is double-acting with a variable cushion at both ends, and the 25 mm bore is rated 245.3 N push / 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply range.
Match that to real payloads: 245.3 N converts to about 25 kg of vertical lift, so specify roughly 12 kg parts for a 2:1 safety split. The riveted stainless tube and hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod cope with humid, lightly corrosive air that defeats painted minis, and both-end cushioning keeps landings quiet from 30 to 800 mm/s.

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 | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

| ×100 | Stroke length in mm. |

| -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.
Cracks open bakery oven doors at cycle end; the 50 mm window suits the varied door latches found along one line.
Separates the top cup from a stacked magazine; trimming extend travel prevents double-picks when stack heights vary.
Presses the tension roller onto welding wire; the 245 N push keeps feed slip-free over 100 mm of approach travel.
For frame of reference, bore 20 pushes near 157 N at 0.5 MPa and bore 40 pushes 628.3 N, against 245.3 N from this 25 mm barrel. Be aware the stop screw holds extend position only - an unpressurised rod is free to slide, so add a valving solution or external stop if the load must stay put.
Face mounting uses the FA flange and base mounting the LB foot, with I or Y knuckles on the M10x1.25 rod thread; adjustable-stroke versions omit SDB. The piston magnet comes standard, which is why CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches work out of the crate.
Quick checklist
The 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical 50.0 kgf ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Feed it 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and run 30-800 mm/s.
Standard choices are an FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles on the M10x1.25 rod thread; adjustable models carry no SDB option. The stop screw trims extend travel within the 50 mm window but never acts as a position brake when air is lost.
