The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X50-30S 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.
With a 30 mm trim window the MACJ25X50-30S takes a 50 mm extend stroke and shortens it anywhere down to 20 mm on site - no cylinder swap, just turn the stop screw. It is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so you can run 30-800 mm/s and still land the rod quietly. At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa the push climbs to 343.4 N.
Construction is a round stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, riveted to aluminium covers - a sealed body that shrugs off damp shop air and washdown where painted minis corrode. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight on. Budget roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 245.3 N rating and the drive keeps a healthy margin for years.

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.
On a case packer, trimming the extend stroke by up to 30 mm lets one cylinder set flaps on small and tall cartons; 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa closes them without crush marks.
A 50 mm stroke trimmed to size pushes off-spec bottles off a beverage line; the variable cushions at both ends stop the rod from banging at cycle speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, ideal for raising sample trays in an analyzer, while the stainless barrel copes with routine wipe-downs.
Compare before you buy: bore 20 delivers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa if the load is light, while bore 32 reaches 402.2 N when the job grows. Note the stop screw sets the extend position only - it is a mechanical end stop, not a brake, so the piston will still drift if air pressure is lost. Mount on an FA flange or LB foot and add I or Y rod knuckles where the linkage needs a pivot. The 10 mm rod handles this short 50 mm stroke well; guide heavy or overhung loads externally rather than side-loading the rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures are 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull, with a theoretical peak of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
No. The piston magnet is standard on every MA cylinder, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and Hall switches clip onto the barrel without a special-order piston or retrofit kit.
