The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X50-40S 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.
A 40 mm window on a 50 mm stroke gives the MACJ25X50-40S unusual on-site freedom: trim the extend stroke from the full 50 mm down to 10 mm with a stop screw, no re-plumbing needed. Air drives the rod both ways, and a variable cushion at each end soaks up shock so faster cycles or heavier loads stop without hammering the covers. Rated 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa.
The body is a riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod - genuinely corrosion-tough next to painted mini cylinders in food or outdoor corners. Every MA piston carries a magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without a special piston. For lifting, that 245.3 N equals about 25 kgf at 0.5 MPa; halve it for a 2:1 margin and you can lift roughly 12.5 kg vertically.

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.
Clamps parts with 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa while the 40 mm trim window absorbs jig tolerances; an FA flange bolts the body straight to the base plate.
Pushes cartons between lanes; cushions at both ends let it cycle fast without shaking the frame, and about 147 N of usable push handles loaded cases.
A 10 mm rod slides a locking pin into a machining fixture; the built-in magnet with a CMSG switch confirms pin-in before the cycle starts.
Sizing check: at 0.5 MPa bore 20 makes 157.0 N and bore 32 makes 402.2 N, so this 25 mm model sits in the middle for clamps and pushers. The trim screw is an extend-stroke end stop, not a lock - with air off, the load can still move the rod, so add an external lock if holding matters. FA flange and LB foot mounts, plus I / Y rod knuckles, cover most fixings. If you prefer bumper ends instead of air cushions, the MAJ is the sibling; for a fixed stroke, the MAC is the closer match.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa you get 343.4 N and 288.5 N, with a theoretical ceiling 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 runs 30-800 mm/s.
Choose the FA flange or LB foot, and I or Y rod knuckles where the tooling pivots; adjustable models like this one have no SDB mount and no back-cover code. The MAJ is the adjustable sibling with bumpers, MAC is the fixed-stroke cushioned version, and MACD adds a double rod.
