The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X15-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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.
Twin cushions, short throw, honest force. The MACJ32X15-20S pairs a 15 mm extend stroke with a 20 mm adjustment window, so the stop screw can set the extend position from a few millimetres out to the full stroke - and never beyond the ordered 15 mm. Underneath sits the standard MA layout: double-acting power, a variable cushion at both heads, 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa and a wide 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply window at 30-800 mm/s.
Because the window exceeds the stroke, commissioning is forgiving: one cylinder covers several nest depths on mixed-part lines. The stainless barrel and chrome-plated rod laugh at washdown, and 60 percent loading leaves about 241 N of dependable push - call it a 20 kg vertical lift at half rating - well below the 82 kgf theoretical ceiling. Position feedback comes free: the magnet for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches ships inside every 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.

| 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.

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.
Sweeping underweight packs off the belt; the wide window absorbs pack-height changes between recipes without a cylinder swap.
Engaging each dial station against a hardened stop; dual cushions make the short stab silent even at top speed.
Kicking bent terminals clear of the forming die; 402 N at 0.5 MPa overcomes springback without deforming the part.
Force neighbours: a 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter nests; a 40 mm bore lifts that to 628 N when rejection force matters. Note the adjustment is a mechanical stop for the extend direction - if the air supply fails the rod is not held fast, so add an external lock or spring for safety-critical positions. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, I or Y knuckles on pivoting rods, and 1/8" fittings on the port. For a 15 mm stroke side load is rarely an issue, but ejecting off-axis parts still warrants a guided tool.
Quick checklist
Extend force is 402 N and retract 346 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N and 484 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical 82 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. Pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s.
The barrel is stainless steel rolled into the aluminium covers, leaving no coating that caustic foam can lift, and the 12 mm rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plate that shrugs off rinse water. Paired with the standard piston magnet and CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, one cylinder handles both actuation and position sensing in a splash zone.
