The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X175-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 175mm 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.
A rolling-packed mini cylinder with a riveted stainless-steel barrel, the MACJ25X175-30S works double-acting and carries an adjustable extend stroke: turn the external stop screw to set the 175 mm stroke anywhere inside a 30 mm window, no shims or reordering needed. A variable air cushion sits at both ends, damping end-of-travel impact so cycle speeds up to 800 mm/s stay gentle on the aluminium covers.
At 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; keep a working margin and plan around roughly 147 N of real effort, which lifts about 12 kg vertically. The 10 mm hard-chrome rod and the grease-retaining two-way piston seal tolerate washdown and humid shop air far better than painted-steel minis, and the piston magnet is fitted as standard so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount straight on.

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.

| -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.
Trim the stop screw so the 147 N working effort snugs automotive sensor housings against a test fixture without crushing them.
The 175 mm reach swings misfilled bottles off the conveyor, and the end cushion keeps the gate from banging at high cycle rates.
Double-acting return pulls the pusher back promptly, readying it for the next 245.3 N push stroke at 0.5 MPa.
Compare both neighbours before committing: a bore 20 unit offers only 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while a bore 32 jumps to 402.2 N, so 25 mm is the sweet spot for jobs near 150 N of working load. The 175 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore and ships with a 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only; with air lost the piston will drift back, so add a locking valve if the position must hold.
Mounting options are an FA flange or LB foot, plus I and Y rod knuckles, and the built-in magnet means sensor feedback needs no special piston.
Quick checklist
Double-acting, bore 25: 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, fluid air filtered to 40 um. The extend stroke is adjustable within a 30 mm window and both ends carry a variable air cushion.
None are special. The piston magnet is standard on every MA cylinder, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches all clip onto the stainless barrel out of the box and give repeatable end-of-stroke signals across the adjustable 30 mm window.
