The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X225-20S 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.
Double-acting with an externally trimmed extend stroke, the MACJ25X225-20S gives you a full 225 mm of travel that you can shorten by up to 20 mm with the stop screw - no reordering when fixture spacing changes. A variable air cushion at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock, so a 245 N push at 0.5 MPa can arrive gently even at speed.
The riveted stainless round barrel and 20 um hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and damp plant air better than painted minis, and the magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight onto the tube. Split the 245.3 N rating with a 2:1 margin and the rod lifts about 12 kg vertically - handy when matching tray or part weight.

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.

| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | 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.
Pushes misaligned cartons off a conveyor with 245 N behind it; the 20 mm trim dials the ejection point in after installation.
Applies a repeatable 147 N working push to sample fixtures; the cushion removes end-of-stroke bounce that would skew readings.
Lowers about 12 kg of fixture weight vertically into a jig, with CMSG sensors confirming top and bottom position.
At 245 N push and 206 N retract at 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (157 N) and 32 mm (402 N) MA frames - step up only if your load truly needs the extra force. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a lock: if air is lost the piston will still drift, so use a separate holding valve where that matters.
FA flange or LB foot mount it, I and Y rod knuckles fit the 10 mm rod, and ports are 1/8". At 225 mm of slender 10 mm rod keep side loads off the cylinder and guide the load externally.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical ceiling for a 25 mm bore is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8", the rod is 10 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread, and speed runs 30-800 mm/s within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere within the 20 mm window ordered - down to 205 mm of the 225 mm travel. It is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke brake, so on air loss the rod still drifts. Cushioning at both ends stays fully variable.
