The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X40-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm 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.
With a 40 mm stroke you can shave by up to 20 mm using the built-in stop screw, the MACJ25X40-20S tunes itself to the fixture instead of the other way round. Air drives the rod both ways (double-acting) and variable cushions at each end kill the end-of-stroke bang. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod are at home in wet or dusty plants.
On the 25 mm bore expect 245.3 N out and 206.1 N back at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa (50 kgf theoretical ceiling). For vertical duties the rod hoists roughly 25 kg at 0.5 MPa; keep payloads near 12.5 kg to hold a 2:1 margin. Position feedback is plug-and-play because the magnet comes standard and pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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.
On a bottling line, guides for different bottle diameters are re-set by trimming the extend stroke up to 20 mm - no shimming, no cylinder swaps between formats.
Nudges totes off a main conveyor into a pick lane; mid-band 25 mm force moves light loads while the cushions keep the push quiet right up to 800 mm/s.
Dips a sampling probe into test beakers at a municipal water lab; the stainless barrel tolerates constant splashes and the trim screw sets dip depth precisely.
Sizing check: the bore 20 MAJ pushes 157.0 N and the bore 32 MACJ reaches 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, so the 25 mm class sits mid-band for clamping and lifting duties. Note the adjuster is only an extend-end stop - if air fails the load can still move, so use a separate valve where holding matters. Fit FA flange or LB foot, pick I or Y knuckles where tooling needs a swivel, and spec PT, G or NPT on the 1/8" ports.
Quick checklist
Bore 25 gives 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, peaking at 50 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Operating band is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, with the 40 mm extend stroke trimmable by 20 mm.
A stop screw mechanically limits rod extension anywhere within the ordered 20 mm window, so you set the final position on the machine itself. It shortens the stroke only - it cannot extend travel past 40 mm - and it is a positioning stop, not a load lock, when air pressure is lost.
