The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X40-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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.
Here the entire 40 mm stroke doubles as the adjust window, so MACJ32X40-40S can be set to stop at any point in its travel without changing hardware. It stays double-acting throughout, with a variable cushion each end; push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
Cushion tuning matters when a full 563.0 N at 0.7 MPa meets a heavy tool plate: dial it in and end-of-stroke shock disappears even at 800 mm/s. For vertical work, 402.2 N converts to about 41 kgf, so halving for margin lets it lift roughly 20 kg safely. The hard-chrome rod and stainless round barrel also tolerate washdown and outdoor duty that defeats painted-steel minis.

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.

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.
Swings cartons between outbound lanes across the full 40 mm window, with cushioning absorbing the divert impact.
Opens and closes a small slide gate; 402 N at 0.5 MPa overcomes pellet friction and the magnet confirms gate state.
Sets rivets in sheet-metal brackets, using the adjustable stop to control depth across different rivet lengths.
Neighbouring sizes frame the choice: bore 25 produces 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, bore 40 manages 628.3 N, leaving this 32 mm unit ideal between them. Keep in mind the stop screw cannot lengthen travel beyond 40 mm nor lock the piston mid-way; when air pressure fails the rod simply coasts, so design a separate restraint for suspended loads. FA flange and LB foot mounts, I and Y knuckles, and the standard magnet for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches round out the package on 1/8" ports.
Quick checklist
Count on 402.2 N extending and 345.6 N retracting at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 563.0 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, within a rated pressure span of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No - the adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a lock or brake. If supply pressure drops, the piston can drift, so fit an external holding valve for suspended loads. What it does give is a 40 mm field-settable trim window paired with dual variable cushioning.
