The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X225-30S 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.
A 30 mm trim window gives the MACJ25X225-30S generous on-site tuning: set the stop screw anywhere from 225 mm down to 195 mm of extend travel once the machine is built. Air on both faces makes it double-acting, and variable cushions at each end let you run 30-800 mm/s without hammering the covers under a 245 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Construction is the classic MA recipe - a stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium covers, with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod that tolerates humid or lightly washed environments. Plan real work around 147 N at 0.5 MPa rather than the raw rating, which equals about 12 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. The piston magnet ships standard, ready for DMSG switching.

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.
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Gates bottles between lanes; the 30 mm window absorbs conveyor repositioning without swapping cylinders.
Drives a light stake or rivet with 343 N available at 0.7 MPa, cushioned so the die never slams bottom.
Positions a dispensing nozzle across a 200 mm panel; DMSG switches flag end-of-travel for the PLC.
Compare in force: the 20 mm bore offers 157 N at 0.5 MPa and the 32 mm bore 402 N, so this 25 mm frame at 245 N push / 206 N pull is the mid choice. If the duty is long horizontal sliding, friction may eat into that margin - check against the actual load.
The adjuster sets only the trimmed end of the extend stroke; it is not a brake and the rod moves if pressure drops. Mount with FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y knuckles to the M10x1.25 rod end, and remember the fixed-stroke MAC or double-rod MACD variants exist if trimming is not needed.
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 for the 25 mm bore is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 10 mm with M10x1.25 thread, air ports are 1/8", and the cylinder takes FA flange or LB foot mounting. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The stainless barrel with rolled covers and the hard-chrome plated rod resist the mild corrosion that quickly ruins painted-steel minis near coolant, washdown or outdoors. Add the built-in magnet with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors and you get position feedback from the same sealed body.
