The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X30-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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.
Thirty millimetres of travel, trimmable across the full 30 mm window, gives the MACJ25X30-30S a home in cramped eject-and-clamp stations. It is double-acting with a variable air cushion at each end: 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s. Plan on roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, or about 12.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The round body is a riveted stack: a stainless barrel rolled onto aluminium-alloy covers, with a 20 um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod that shrugs off condensation and mild washdown better than painted mini cylinders. A magnet comes built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special piston.

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.

| -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.
Flicks underweight pouches off a snack-food checkweigher with a 30 mm nudge; the cushioned landing keeps the reject chute quiet at speed.
Clamps aluminium brackets in a bench drill fixture - trim the extend stroke down so thin-wall parts are not crushed, with about 147 N doing the work.
Seeds one part at a time from a vibratory bowl on an electronics assembly bench, cycling at 30-800 mm/s without hammering the front cover.
For 30 mm throws the next size down, the MACJ20, delivers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MACJ32 lifts output to 402.2 N; stay with bore 25 when 245.3 N push is the working figure. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke inside the ordered window - it is not a mid-stroke lock, and with air lost the rod will still drift. FA flange, LB foot or I/Y rod knuckles all bolt to the same body, and the 1/8" ports suit compact manifolds.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 30 mm, adjustable within a 30 mm window, double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The barrel is stainless steel riveted to aluminium-alloy covers, and the 10 mm carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plate, so condensation, coolant mist and outdoor exposure cause far less trouble than on painted mini cylinders. The piston magnet is standard, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount straight on.
