The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X20-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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.
Only 20 mm of travel is needed here, delivered double-acting with a 10 mm adjustable extend window and variable cushioning at each end. The MACJ series rolls a stainless-steel barrel into aluminium covers with a stainless block, so this short-stroke unit survives splash zones and humid workshops that chew up painted minis. From a 10 mm hard-chrome rod it outputs 245.3 N extend and 206.1 N retract at 0.5 MPa.
Derate to about 147 N for continuous work at 0.5 MPa; that still lifts roughly 12 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is kept. The piston magnet comes standard - drop a CMSG or EMSG switch on for end-of-stroke sensing. The stop screw sets position, not holding: with no air the rod can settle, so lock the load externally.

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.

| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×20 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
A 20 mm kick clears parts off a vacuum cup on a small pick-and-place head; the 10 mm window absorbs fixture tolerance without a redesign.
Short-stroke pin clamps lock weld fixtures; 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa secures light brackets while the variable cushion tames the snap at seat.
A CMSG switch on the standard magnet proves the ejector reached seat on an electronics test bench before the probe cycle fires.
Short 20 mm strokes tempt buyers toward a 16 mm bore, but that drops push to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa - this 25 mm barrel more than doubles it, while a 32 mm bore (402.2 N push) is the next rung for heavier clamps. FA flange, LB foot and I or Y rod knuckles cover the fixing options, and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches without a special order. The adjuster shortens the extend stroke only and is not a mid-stroke lock on air loss.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa these become 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. Theoretical peak force at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted body pairs a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod for corrosion resistance, and the 10 mm adjustable window lets you shorten the extend stroke on site - travel only shrinks, it never grows past 20 mm.
