The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X140-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 140mm 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.
At 0.7 MPa the MACJ32X140-30S puts 563 N on the push stroke, climbing to a theoretical 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke is factory-set at 140 mm and the stop screw lets you shorten it by up to 30 mm without touching the air logic; a variable cushion at each end absorbs whatever energy is left. Air supply of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds from 30-800 mm/s cover most machine frames.
Construction is the classic MA recipe: a stainless round barrel with covers and block rolled on, sealing the 12 mm hard-chrome rod against washdown and light corrosion. In practice the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa translates to about 241 N of honest working force once you keep a 60 percent margin - roughly a 20 kg vertical lift held at half rating. Sensor-ready by default, the magnet that trips CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches is already in the piston.

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.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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.
Raising a locating pin before a robot loads a bracket; the 30 mm window trims pin height per fixture variant without new tooling.
Clamping an aluminium housing before face milling; 563 N at 0.7 MPa holds the part while both cushions cut clamp bounce.
Nudging boxes from lane A into lane B; cushioned ends keep the 140 mm travel quiet at full line speed.
Between bores: drop to 25 mm (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) only for light kicker duty; go to 40 mm (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load or cycle rate climbs. Air connects via the 1/8" port, and the FA flange or LB foot carries the body while I and Y knuckles suit pivoting rods. The 30 mm trim is mechanical and sets where the rod stops when extending - it is not a brake, so an unpowered piston can still be displaced. Over a 140 mm travel the slim rod should not see side loads; guide them externally.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, 402 N extend and 346 N retract; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N and 484 N; at a full 1.0 MPa the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The body is a stainless-steel tube with the aluminium covers riveted on in a rolling-packed joint - no paint to chip and no external fasteners to work loose - while the rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plate that resists rust in damp plants. That combination suits food handling and outdoor cells where plain steel minis corrode.
