The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X250-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 250mm 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 riveted round-body mini cylinder from AirTAC's MA series, the MACJ25X250-100S runs double-acting on air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and carries a 100 mm adjustable window, so the 250 mm extend stroke can be trimmed on site anywhere down to 150 mm. A variable air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke shock across the 30-800 mm/s speed band.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 245 N and pulls 206 N; raising supply to 0.7 MPa takes those to 343 N and 288 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 50 kgf. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod handle damp or washdown-prone spots that corrode painted mini cylinders, and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without a special piston. Plan real work around 147 N per extend stroke rather than the full rating, which covers lifting roughly 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.

| 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.

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 groups of fittings into blister trays on a 250 mm indexing table, with the 100 mm window letting one cylinder serve several tray pitches.
Stops and squares small cartons at a packing station; the dual air cushion keeps 250 mm advances quiet even at 800 mm/s.
Slides microscope sample holders between stations in a lab autoloader, where the stainless barrel resists frequent cleaning chemicals.
Need less force? The bore 20 MACJ delivers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; step up to bore 32 for 402 N. With 250 mm of travel, keep side loads low and guide the workpiece externally, since the 10 mm rod is not meant to take bending. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available, and the stop screw is a stroke limit only, not a load-holding brake - on air loss the piston still drifts.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke is trimmable from 250 mm down to 150 mm via the 100 mm adjust window, with a variable cushion at both ends. Air port is 1/8-inch; operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Every MACJ ships with a magnet already in the piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel - no special-order piston needed. The adjuster is a mechanical stop that shortens the extend stroke only; it never lengthens travel and it does not lock the rod in place when air is lost.
