The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ25X90-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 90mm 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.
Fine end-of-stroke positioning is the point of the MACJ25X90-20S: an external stop screw sets extend travel anywhere from 70 to 90 mm inside its 20 mm window, and the variable air cushion at both ends absorbs the landing. It is double-acting, runs 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa.
That 245.3 N converts to about 25 kg of theoretical vertical lift, or a comfortable 12 kg once you keep a 2:1 margin for real tooling weight. Build quality backs it up: a stainless round barrel riveted to aluminium covers, a hard-chrome plated rod, and a standard piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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.
Push 245 N at 0.5 MPa to steer parcels between chutes; extend travel is trimmed from 70 to 90 mm to match each chute width.
The round stainless barrel survives outdoor dock air; the end screw sets stopping depth so pallets align with the mast every cycle.
Cushioned ends fold flaps without bounce at up to 800 mm/s, and the 20 mm window matches carton heights from 70 to 90 mm.
For this force class the 25 mm bore pushes 245 N at 0.5 MPa; drop to the 20 mm bore for 157 N or step up to the 32 mm bore for 402 N if the load shifts, all figures at 0.5 MPa. Pick FA flange or LB foot fixing, with I and Y knuckles available for rod-linkage tooling. Treat the adjuster purely as a position stop: a depressurised piston is free to settle, so plan separate holding for loads that must stay put. With 90 mm of extended rod, keep side loads minimal by guiding the tooling on its own rails.
Quick checklist
Expect 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical 50 kgf maximum for the 25 mm bore at 1.0 MPa. Extend travel is trimmed from 70 to 90 mm by the stop screw, the rod is 10 mm with M10x1.25 male thread, ports are 1/8", and speed spans 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
FA flange and LB foot brackets are the catalogue fixings, and I or Y rod knuckles suit pivot linkages. Adjustable-stroke versions carry no SDB back-cover arrangement. Mounting choice does not change the force ratings, and the standard-fit piston magnet keeps CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch placement open on any of them.
