The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X50-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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.
Every MACJ25X50-20S ships with the position magnet already inside the piston - no special order, no waiting - so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight onto the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signalling. Behind that barrel sits a double-acting cylinder with a 20 mm adjustable extend window and a variable air cushion at each end, built from rolled aluminium covers and a 20 um hard-chrome rod.
Force-wise, expect 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, with 50 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Treat about 147 N as the honest working force and the cylinder will lift roughly 12 kg vertically while keeping a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 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.
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -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.
Holds a roller head steady with about 147 N of working force; the 20 mm window compensates for roller wear between changeovers.
Cushioning on both ends protects thin blister webs at up to 800 mm/s; magnet-driven DMSG switches confirm up and down positions to the PLC.
245 N at 0.5 MPa slides a small gate against powder pressure; the stainless barrel stands up to dusty, slightly damp hopper surroundings.
Next size down, bore 20, gives 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa; next size up, bore 32, delivers 402.2 N - pick this 25 mm unit when the load lands between roughly 90 and 240 N of real work. The 50 mm stroke with a 20 mm trim range covers fixtures that need final-position tuning after installation.
Remember the adjuster is an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: cut the air and the piston can still drift, so do not rely on it to hold raised loads. Mounting options are FA flange and LB foot, with I or Y rod knuckles for swivel joints.
Quick checklist
MACJ25X50-20S: push 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; push 343.4 N and pull 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 50 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustable window, 1/8" ports.
No - it is built into every MA-series piston as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG reed switches mount on the barrel without a special-order cylinder. Combine that with the 20 mm stroke trim and both-end variable cushion to tune position sensing and soft landings on the same unit.
