The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm 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.
With just 10 mm of on-site trim, the MACJ32X160-10S lets you dial the 160 mm extend stroke to match a fixture without swapping cylinders. It is a double-acting, round-body mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends, built on a riveted stainless-steel barrel and a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod that shrug off washdown and damp shop air. At 0.5 MPa the piston pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N.
Plan on roughly 241 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 402 N rating, and the 10 mm adjuster makes final calibration a screwdriver job. A built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special piston. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 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.
| 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.

|---|---|

| ×160 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
Fine-trim the bottom position of a small air press crimping wire terminals, using the 10 mm window to absorb die changes.
Push filled bottles into cartons on a beverage conveyor; 402 N at 0.5 MPa moves a full row while cushions keep the landing gentle.
Eject sealed snack cases off a packaging conveyor at up to 800 mm/s, with the trim screw matching case height exactly.
Check the numbers both ways before ordering: the 25 mm bore MACJ produces 245 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 40 mm bore reaches 628 N, so this 32 mm unit at 402 N sits squarely in the middle for clamps and pushers of moderate mass. At 160 mm of stroke, keep side loads off the 12 mm rod or guide them externally; long strokes bend rods long before the barrel complains.
Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available (the adjustable version has no SDB or back-cover code). Note the stop screw is an end stop, not a lock - on air loss the rod can still drift, so support the load separately.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563.0 N and 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Ports are 1/8", the rod is 12 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread, and the extend stroke trims within the 10 mm window.
The riveted stainless-steel tube with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod (20 um plating) resists the corrosion that kills painted mini cylinders in damp, food or outdoor areas. The two-way piston seal also stores grease, extending service intervals.
