Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-40S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-40S 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 MACJ32X160-40S
Wide latitude to retune a station is what the 40 mm window on the MACJ32X160-40S buys you: the external stop screw shortens the 160 mm extend stroke anywhere inside that range, never beyond the ordered stroke. Underneath is a classic round-body AirTAC mini cylinder, double-acting with a variable cushion at each end, a riveted stainless barrel and a hard-chrome plated rod rated 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
In vertical service the same figure translates to roughly 41 kg of lift at 0.5 MPa, or about 20 kg if you keep a 2:1 safety margin. Air supply from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and a 30-800 mm/s speed band cover light pick-and-place through faster transfer duty. The magnet is already fitted, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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 MACJ32X160-40S Is Used
Machine height changeover
Retune a filling station between bottle formats using the 40 mm window; one cylinder replaces several fixed-stroke units.
Presence check station
Verify seat-belt buckles are seated before a fastening cell runs; the standard magnet feeds a CMSG switch signal to the PLC.
Stack lift stop
Position a small lifting table under a printer or copier magazine with about 20 kg vertical capability at a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X160-40S the Right Cylinder?
Sizing cross-check at 0.5 MPa: bore 25 gives 245 N, this bore 32 gives 402 N, bore 40 gives 628 N - pick up or down that ladder rather than oversizing blindly. With 160 mm of exposed rod, avoid side loads or add an external guide; rod bending, not barrel strength, is the usual failure point on mini cylinders.
The 40 mm adjuster is for dialling extend travel, not for holding position against gravity when air drops. Specify FA flange or LB foot, pair with an I or Y knuckle for pivoting loads, and fit CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches straight on thanks to the standard magnet.
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 MACJ32X160-40S FAQ
Design around 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563.0 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with an 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The port is 1/8", the 12 mm rod thread is M10x1.25, and the adjustable window on this model is 40 mm.
Choose an FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles for pivoting loads (the adjustable version has no SDB or back-cover code). The external stop screw shortens extend travel anywhere within the 40 mm window; it is an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can drift if air pressure is lost.
