The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X250-75S 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.
Among MACJ options the -75 version carries the widest adjustment: 75 mm of on-site trim across a 250 mm stroke, handy when product sizes change between batches. The cylinder is double-acting with variable air cushioning at each end, holding shock down through the full 30-800 mm/s range. Expect 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
Nothing painted here: a stainless round barrel and a 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off mild corrosion and spray-down, outlasting standard aluminium minis in damp corners of the plant. Worked out for a 2:1 margin, that thrust corresponds to roughly 12 kg of vertical lift; for pushing duty allow about 147 N. The built-in magnet is part of the standard build - CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches attach without special ordering - and supply pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.

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.
The widest 75 mm window means one cylinder covers several product lengths - trim the stop between batches instead of swapping the actuator out.
Tipping underweight packs off the belt: 245.3 N handles the shove, and the wide trim window absorbs pack-size changes without hardware swaps.
Stopping the reel at a set winding length over the full 250 mm travel, with the variable cushion damping each arrival and the magnet signalling via EMSG switches.
A 25 mm bore sits between the 157.0 N of a bore 20 unit and the 402.2 N of a bore 32 at 0.5 MPa, so match the 245.3 N output to your load before ordering. Because 250 mm of travel magnifies any side force, use external guides on long runs or an I knuckle for in-line joints.
Choose FA or LB mounting and rely on the standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position feedback. One caution: the stop screw fixes the extend endpoint but offers no load locking when pressure disappears.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; raise the supply to 0.7 MPa and it moves to 343.4 N push with 288.5 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Connections are 1/8", the 10 mm rod threads M10x1.25, and the extend stroke can be shortened anywhere inside a 75 mm window.
The barrel is stainless steel, the rod is carbon steel plated with 20 um of hard chrome, and the aluminium covers are rolled on for a sealed, riveted body. That mix tolerates washdown splash, humidity and outdoor exposure far longer than painted-steel minis, which rust and seal-fail first. The variable dual cushion further protects the covers from impact damage.
