The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X225-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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.
Field-settable by 20 mm, this MACJ balances flexibility and simplicity: the stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere within 20 mm of the 225 mm nominal travel. The 32 mm bore is double-acting, cushioned at both ends, and pushes 402 N at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa) - mid-range muscle for gates, stoppers and small presses.
Its riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome 12 mm rod stands up to splash zones that pit painted minis. As a working figure, count on close to 241 N of real push at 0.5 MPa; for vertical lifts that equals roughly 20 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Magnets are built in on every MA cylinder, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on. Supply 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.

| 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.
Gates small totes between conveyor lanes; 402 N pushes even a loaded tote path, and the 20 mm trim tunes the stop face to the lane edge.
The stainless body tolerates the acidic washdown corner of a forklift battery bay while cushioning the 225 mm stop travel.
Sets a 20 mm-tunable bottom position on a bench riveting press; the 345.6 N pull side retracts the head briskly at 0.5 MPa.
The 25 mm bore (245 N push) and the 50 mm bore (981 N) bracket this size; pick 32 mm when 402 N at 0.5 MPa matches the load. Remember the adjuster sets an extend end stop only - it will not hold position if air is lost, so use a valve circuit for holding. FA flange and LB foot are available, with I or Y rod knuckles for pivot loads. On a 225 mm stroke, keep the load guided to avoid bending moments on the rod.
Quick checklist
Rated push 402 N / pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N / 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with an 82 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa from the 32 mm bore. Feed it 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) through the 1/8" ports and expect 30-800 mm/s.
The variable air cushion at each end is set with a needle valve, letting you run 30-800 mm/s on heavy or fast cycles without slamming the aluminium covers. Pair that with the hard-chrome 12 mm rod: keep side loads off it over the 225 mm travel, use an I or Y knuckle for pivoting tools, and the chrome surface resists scoring in dusty or damp cells.
