Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-30S 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.

About the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-30S
Thirty millimetres of extend-stroke trim makes the MACJ32X160-30S a natural fit for stations where the stop position is tuned during commissioning. Behind the adjuster sits a genuine double-acting round-body mini cylinder: stainless-steel barrel, riveted aluminium covers, hard-chrome 12 mm rod, and a variable air cushion at both ends. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N; at 0.7 MPa forward force reaches 563 N.
Treat about 241 N as the realistic working force at 0.5 MPa so the drive keeps margin instead of stalling near the rating. Because the cushions are variable at both ends, you can raise speed toward 800 mm/s and still land soft on the covers. The built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount with no special-order piston.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-30S Is Used
Lab fixture positioning
Set vial crimping depth on a pharmaceutical packaging fixture; the 30 mm window covers vial size changes during validation runs.
Weld tip dressing
Advance a weld tip dresser into position in a robotic cell; 402 N thrust at 0.5 MPa seats the dresser against the electrode.
Sorting gate
Divert parcels on a courier sortation line; speeds up to 800 mm/s keep throughput while cushions quiet the gate.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-30S the Right Cylinder?
A quick sanity check: one size down (bore 25) yields 245 N at 0.5 MPa and one size up (bore 40) yields 628 N, so the 402 N class here suits medium clamping and part transfer at 160 mm stroke. Long strokes punish side load, so guide the load externally if it is not carried along the rod axis.
The 30 mm window covers commissioning drift; it shortens extend travel only and will not hold a load if pressure fails. FA and LB mounts plus I/Y knuckles round out the fit, and no sensor piston is needed since the magnet comes fitted.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 402.2 N extend, 345.6 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 563.0 N extend, 483.8 N retract. Theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Supply pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and the extend stroke trims up to 30 mm. Ports are 1/8" with an M10x1.25 rod thread.
Adjustable cushioning at both ends lets you bleed air out gradually, so a load arriving at up to 800 mm/s decelerates over the final travel instead of slamming the covers. That protects the riveted aluminium heads and lets you carry heavier or faster moves than a bumper-only mini cylinder.
