The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X50-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 20 mm trim window makes the MACJ32X50-20S easy to dial in once it is on the machine: an external stop screw shortens the 50 mm extend stroke anywhere inside that range, and a variable air cushion at both ends keeps landing shock down so you can push the 30-800 mm/s speed band harder. AirTAC builds it as a riveted round body - stainless-steel barrel, aluminium-alloy covers and a 12 mm rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um - a package that stands up to washdown where painted minis corrode.
Numbers for this bore: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563.0 N push at 0.7 MPa. Matched to a real part weight, the full push equals about 41 kg of vertical lift; halve that for a 2:1 margin and it lifts about 20 kg vertically. The magnet is fitted as standard, so DMSG or EMSG switches mount without a special piston. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.
Pushing cartons between conveyor lanes needs a brisk, repeatable shove; 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa moves a loaded tote and the 20 mm trim window lets the line crew set the exact parking position.
Advancing a labeling head onto packs on a packaging machine benefits from the both-end cushion, which stops the head knocking the product even at full line speed.
Lab and test-rig sample drawers cycle hundreds of times a day; the hard-chrome 12 mm rod resists wear and the standard magnet drives a DMSG switch for drawer-open confirmation.
For sizing, look one step down and up: bore 25 delivers 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa and bore 40 delivers 628.3 N, and this 32 mm bore lands between at 402.2 N. Remember the adjuster is purely a stroke-end stop - it will not hold the piston against a back-driving load if the air drops, so add an external brake where position must be kept. Ordered here on the basic rear cover, with FA flange or LB foot available; port is 1/8 inch and rod thread is M10x1.25.
Quick checklist
Rated output is 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with 82 kgf as the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Feed it 40 um filtered air between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and stroke speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
The MACJ32X50-20S rolls its aluminium-alloy covers and stainless-steel block onto a precision stainless barrel, and the 12 mm carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating. That combination resists the mild corrosion, humidity and occasional washdown that quickly ruin painted-steel or plain-aluminium mini cylinders in food, outdoor and wet-process corners.
