The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X175-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm 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.
A 50 mm band of adjustment under the 175 mm stroke gives this model the widest on-site flexibility in the mid-window range: one cylinder, one plumbing job, several different stop positions. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, rated 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa from its 32 mm bore. Construction is the MA series signature: a high-precision stainless tube rolled onto aluminium covers with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod and a two-way piston seal that holds its own grease. In numbers you can quote to a customer: the rod will raise about 41 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa, and staying under roughly 241 N of continuous work keeps you comfortably inside the rating.
The trim stop shortens extension only - it cannot add travel past the ordered stroke, and it will not hold position if air is lost, so treat it purely as a mechanical limit. The magnet is factory standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. Ports are 1/8 inch on this bore, PT by default with G or NPT thread on request.

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.

| 0.5 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.

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.
A stop pin indexing totes on a mini storage shuttle, re-set within the 50 mm window as tote heights change between product lines.
Push clamping of aluminium blanks: 402 N at 0.5 MPa holds light parts, and the 175 mm reach clears the spindle envelope.
Staking terminals onto small connectors where the 50 mm band lets one press serve several terminal heights without shimming.
Below this model, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter gates and chutes; above it, the 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N push when a heavier fixture needs shifting. The 50 mm adjust window suits machines that get re-tooled between runs. With a 12 mm rod over 175 mm, avoid side loading - guide the load externally on longer travels. The adjustable version has no SDB or back-cover mounting code, so pick FA flange or LB foot instead, with I or Y rod knuckles for the rod end.
Quick checklist
Here is the full set for the 32 mm bore: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Because the stop position changes, arrival shock would otherwise vary too. The variable air cushion at each end is tuned on the machine, so whether the stop sits 5 mm or 50 mm into the window the last part of travel is decelerated smoothly instead of hammering the riveted cover.
