The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X225-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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.
Fine-tuners get the 10 mm window here: the extend stop on this 225 mm MACJ moves in small increments for dialling in an exact landing point after install. Double-acting with a variable air cushion at each end, it develops 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and cycles anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
AirTAC builds the MA range around a stainless round barrel with rolled-on aluminium covers and a hard-chrome rod, so moisture-laden or washdown corners claim far fewer failures than painted bodies. For sizing, that 245.3 N rating supports about 147 N of real work, roughly 12 kg lifted vertically, once a sensible margin is applied. Sensing needs no options either: the magnet ships standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.

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. |
| ×225 | 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.
Set a micro-dispense nozzle height within 10 mm of range so tip-to-substrate distance stays identical across batches.
A 225 mm swing arm merges totes between belt lanes; cushions stop the arm cracking against its frame at high cycle rates.
Roller nip force near 147 N on a small printing or laminating head, adjusted once with the stop screw and locked for the run.
Thrust ladder at 0.5 MPa: 157.0 N from a 20 mm bore, 245.3 N here, 402.2 N from 32 mm - move up a bore if your load sits near the top of the range. The adjuster caps the extend stroke only; it holds nothing once air pressure disappears, so treat load holding separately. Bolt it down with an FA flange or LB foot, or fit I / Y rod knuckles; the port on this bore is 1/8".
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 245.3 N push, 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 343.4 N push, 288.5 N pull. Maximum theoretical force is 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and withstands 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The barrel is stainless steel with a hard-chrome plated rod and riveted aluminium covers, so splash, humidity and light washdown cause far less trouble than on painted mini cylinders. Variable cushions at both ends add further protection by cutting end-of-stroke impact.
