The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X150-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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.
Machine builders who reshuffle layouts get breathing room from the MACJ32X150-20S: shorten the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on site when a fixture moves or the part changes, no cylinder swap needed. Air drives both strokes and variable cushions at each cover tame arrivals at up to 800 mm/s. The 32 mm bore delivers 402 N extend and 346 N retract at 0.5 MPa.
The full 402 N converts to about 41 kg of vertical lift; apply a 2:1 margin and the cylinder handles around 20 kg of real lifted weight, with continuous push nearer 241 N. Construction is the riveted round-body MA build - stainless barrel, hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod - that outlasts painted minis in wet or dusty cells. Every unit ships with its magnet, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing costs nothing extra.

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. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | 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.
Push trays into sortation lanes with 241 N of practical force; retune the final 20 mm whenever tray height changes.
Lifts about 20 kg vertically with a safety margin - comfortable for reagent carousels and sample trays in compact lab units.
Pre-clamp workpieces before a hand press; 563 N at 0.7 MPa adds real holding force without buying a full press stage.
Compare options: the MACJ32X150-30S widens the trim to 30 mm, the MAC32X150 drops the adjuster for fixed travel, and the MAJ32X150 swaps cushioning for bumpers. Downsize to bore 25 (245 N at 0.5 MPa) or upsize to bore 40 (628 N) as the load dictates. FA flange or LB foot, plus I or Y knuckles on the M10x1.25 rod thread. If the load must hold position on air failure, fit a locking valve - the 20 mm stop only limits extend travel, and the piston will creep with air off. 1/8 ports, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
Count on 402 N extend and 346 N retract at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N and 484 N at 0.7 MPa; the ceiling is roughly 82 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Practical continuous push is nearer 241 N once a normal design margin is applied.
The barrel is stainless steel and the 12 mm piston rod is carbon steel with a 20 um hard-chrome plate; aluminium covers are rolled and riveted onto the tube. That combination handles coolant mist, washdown splashes and outdoor dust far better than painted mini cylinders.
