The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X100-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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.
Approach far, land soft: the MACJ32X100-10S travels a full 100 mm, then the stop screw trims the last part of the extend stroke inside a 10 mm window - ideal for seating a part against a fixture after a long approach. The cylinder is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, and at 0.5 MPa its 32 mm bore pushes 402.2 N, a rating that leaves about 241 N for real work once a margin is applied.
The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and humidity that kill painted minis, while the standard built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without a special piston. Ports are 1/8 in and the rod thread is M10x1.25; running pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 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.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Pushes a casting home against a drill-jig stop, with the final 10 mm of approach dialled in on site.
Lowers a screw-capper head onto bottles and stops a trimmed distance short to protect torque settings.
Swings a machine-guard latch hook through its last few millimetres of travel without slamming.
Bore 25 (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) suits lighter seating duties; bore 40 (628.3 N) takes heavier presses. Over 100 mm of travel, support the load on external guides so side forces never load the 12 mm rod. The trim screw shortens the extend stroke only and will not hold position if air drops - it is a hard stop, not a brake - so use a clamping element where a load must stay put. Prefer bumpers to air cushion? MAJ shares this layout. MAC keeps the same cushioning at a fixed stroke.
Quick checklist
402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 82 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8 in, rod thread M10x1.25, rod 12 mm.
A variable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston over the final travel, so at speeds up to 800 mm/s the covers take far less shock - useful when the 10 mm trim has to land a load gently on a hard stop.
