The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X45-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 45mm 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.
If your last mini cylinder cracked a cover from slamming, this is the fix: the MACJ25X45-30S carries a variable air cushion at both ends, so you can raise cycle speed toward 800 mm/s and still land the rod soft. The round stainless barrel with its riveted aluminium covers shrugs off splashes and condensation, and the 20 um hard-chrome rod resists scoring in gritty or wet spots.
As a double-acting unit it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa - a theoretical 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 suffix means the extend stroke can be trimmed up to 30 mm with the external stop screw, handy when a 45 mm nominal travel turns out longer than the jig actually needs. Plan real work around 147 N, or about 12 kg of vertical lift 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.
| 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.
Pushes 245 N at 0.5 MPa to swing small cartons off a 200 mm belt; cushioning at both ends keeps the diverter from rattling loose at speed.
The 30 mm trim range lets commissioning set the exact stop height for each fixture; hard-chrome rod tolerates constant stop contact and coolant mist.
Roughly 12 kg of vertical lift capacity with margin suits spring-balanced guards; stainless barrel handles outdoor dock humidity.
Compare before you commit: bore 20 manages 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa and costs less, while bore 32 reaches 402.2 N if your clamp or lift needs real headroom. This 25 mm unit sits in the middle, and its 45 mm stroke with a 30 mm trim range suits machines where the exact extend position is dialled in during commissioning.
Do not treat the adjuster as a brake - with air lost, a suspended load will drift the rod back. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount without special ordering; choose FA flange or LB foot, and I or Y knuckles where the rod should pivot.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa, push 343.4 N and pull 288.5 N; theoretical maximum 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, bore 25 mm, 10 mm rod, 1/8" ports.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 30 mm window - it trims travel, it never extends past 45 mm. Set it during commissioning and re-dial it when the tooling changes. Pair it with the standard built-in magnet and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for end-position sensing.
