The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X100-50S 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.
Heavy small-part handling is the home turf of the MACJ32X100-50S: a double-acting 32 mm mini cylinder whose extend stroke can be cut back anywhere inside a 50 mm window, with a variable air cushion at each end to calm fast stops. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402 N and retracts with 345.6 N.
Construction is a stainless-steel barrel riveted to aluminium-alloy covers around a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod - a rolled round body that laughs at damp workshops. The piston magnet is fitted as standard equipment for CMSG, DMSG or ESG switches, no upcharge. For sizing, treat about 241 N as your working push at 0.5 MPa; halved again for lifting duty that is roughly 20 kg of vertical load with margin built in.

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 | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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.
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Kicks finished blanks off a compact press die; 402 N at 0.5 MPa clears oiled parts at stroke rates the 30-800 mm/s range easily covers.
Sets batter tray clearance on a depositor line; the 50 mm window is tuned per recipe during morning changeover.
Pushes small parcels onto a spur from the main belt; dual cushions let the diverter run fast without shaking the frame.
Compare against the smaller 25 mm bore (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) or the larger 40 mm bore (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) to confirm 32 mm is the right force step. With 50 mm of trim available, the end stop sees real side thrust on off-centre loads - keep the rod square to the load or add a guide. The stop shortens extend stroke only and is not a load lock when air fails. FA and LB mounts, I and Y knuckles, magnet included.
Quick checklist
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563.0 N and pull 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Port is 1/8", rod thread M10x1.25, operating band 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C.
The stainless barrel with hard-chrome plated rod resists corrosion and washdown, and the riveted cover design keeps the seal reliable without tie-rod maintenance. Combined with the 50 mm on-site stroke trim, one cylinder covers what would otherwise need several fixed-stroke units.
