The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X60-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 compact double-acting actuator for jobs where the extend stroke must land at a precise point: the 20 mm trim window lets a stop screw pull the 60 mm extend stroke back to any setting inside that band, with a variable air cushion softening both ends. The 25 mm bore delivers 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 206.1 N of pull.
The round body is a stainless barrel riveted to aluminium covers, driving a hard-chrome plated rod, so it stands up to washdown and damp shop air far better than painted mini cylinders. For sizing, count on roughly 147 N of real working push at 0.5 MPa - about 60 percent of the rating - which covers a 12 kg vertical lift at 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.
Seating small bearings into aluminium housings at an electronics assembly bench, with the 20 mm window trimming travel to the seat depth.
A pop-up stopper that halts PET bottles ahead of the filler; the end cushion keeps the gate quiet at high cycle counts.
Folding top flaps on a small carton sealer, where the stainless barrel handles daily wipe-down around glue and product spill.
Compare bores by force: a 20 mm unit manages 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa and a 32 mm reaches 402.2 N, so this 25 mm sits in the middle for clamp-and-eject work. The trim screw is a mechanical end stop only; if supply air drops the rod can drift, so add a lock or valve when true holding matters. Mount on an FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y rod knuckle for swivelling tooling, and note the 1/8" ports and M10x1.25 male rod thread. A 60 mm stroke keeps side-load risk modest, but still keep lateral loads off the 10 mm rod. Position feedback needs no options - the piston magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the MACJ25X60-20S pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and push climbs to 343.4 N with 288.5 N of pull. The theoretical ceiling is 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered 20 mm window - from the full 60 mm down to 40 mm. It trims the extend stroke only, cannot lengthen travel, and is not a mid-stroke lock: with air lost the rod still moves. The variable air cushion at both ends stays active at any setting.
