The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X30-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 32 mm bore in a compact stainless round body, the MACJ32X30-20S offers a 30 mm stroke that can be shortened by up to 20 mm on site through its adjustable extend stop. Double-acting with variable air cushion at each end, it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, and cycles at 30-800 mm/s.
Construction is the classic MA recipe: a riveted stainless barrel, aluminium-alloy covers and a hard-chrome plated rod that tolerates damp and dusty shop air. The piston magnet is included as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap on for end-position sensing. As a rule of thumb, use about 241 N of that 0.5 MPa rating for real work - it will hoist roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.

| -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.
Snaps caps onto jars or connector housings with 402 N of push; the 20 mm window trims press depth when products change.
Ejects sorted parts off a bowl track; the short stroke plus cushioned ends keeps the cell quiet at high cycle rates.
Raises a flag into a pallet-present sensor path at a conveyor stop, with a DMSG switch reporting the flag state.
Need less force? Bore 25 delivers 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa at a lower cost; need more? Bore 40 steps up to 628.3 N. The 20 mm window trims the extend stroke downward only, and the stop screw is purely a positional end stop - it is not a load-holding brake, so add a check or lock valve if the load must hang on air loss. FA flange or LB foot mounting covers most frames, and I / Y rod knuckles simplify linkage on swing or press motions. If adjustability is unnecessary, the fixed-stroke MAC in the same bore is an alternative.
Quick checklist
Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 563.0 N, and the 1.0 MPa theoretical ceiling is 82 kgf. The 32 mm bore takes a 1/8 inch port, and the 12 mm rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread.
Yes. Variable air cushioning at both ends is adjustable, so you can soften the landing even at 800 mm/s speeds or with heavier snap-press loads. Remember the 20 mm extend stop is a mechanical limit only - on air loss the piston can still drift.
