The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X250-30S 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 30 mm setup window gives the MACJ25X250-30S room to re-time a machine without swapping cylinders: the 250 mm extend stroke adjusts anywhere between 220 and 250 mm. The unit is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, running on 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore generates 245 N forward and 206 N return, rising to 343 N and 288 N at 0.7 MPa against a 50 kgf theoretical peak. Its stainless rolled barrel and hard-chrome carbon-steel rod shrug off moisture and mild chemicals, an edge over painted minis in food and outdoor cells. Budget roughly 147 N for real work - about a 12 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin - and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard.

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.

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 powder doses from a hopper slide into sachet formers on a packaging machine, re-trimming the stroke whenever recipes change.
Squares pallet loads 250 mm at a stretch-wrapper infeed using cushioned stops that avoid bruising shrink-wrapped cartons.

One size down, the bore 20 MACJ, yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; one size up, bore 32, yields 402 N - this 25 mm model splits the two. Its 30 mm window fits changeover-driven lines where stroke points move between batches. With 250 mm of travel, keep side loads off the 10 mm rod by guiding the payload externally. Fasten with FA flange or LB foot and add I or Y knuckles where the load articulates; switches mount directly thanks to the standard magnet. Treat the adjuster purely as an extend-stroke stop: with air removed the rod is free to move, so positive holding needs a valve or external lock.
Quick checklist
Expect 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a 50 kgf theoretical maximum. The 250 mm stroke is adjustable within a 30 mm window (220-250 mm extend), cushioned at both ends, with 30-800 mm/s speed on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air and a 1/8-inch port.
No. The external stop screw only shortens the extend stroke inside the ordered 30 mm window; it never extends travel and it never locks the piston. If air pressure is lost the rod still drifts, so use a blocking valve or a separate mechanical lock wherever holding is critical.
