The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X50-20SLB 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.
Mounted on LB feet, the MACJ32X50-20SLB bolts flat to a machine plate while keeping everything the MA recipe is known for: a riveted stainless-steel round barrel, aluminium-alloy covers, a hard-chrome plated 12 mm piston rod and a 20 mm window for trimming the 50 mm extend stroke with the built-in stop screw. A variable cushion at each end absorbs the landing, so faster cycles or heavier pushes do not hammer the caps.
Force-wise, expect 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563.0 N push at 0.7 MPa. For day-to-day sizing, treat about 241 N as the practical push budget at 0.5 MPa and the cylinder runs with headroom. The magnet ships inside as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap on for end-of-stroke signals. Clean 40 um filtered air, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 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.
| 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.
An LB-footed cylinder is easy to bolt beside a sliding machine guard; the rod drives an interlock pin and the standard magnet tells the PLC when the pin is home.
Clamping small parts into CNC fixture nests takes modest force; 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa holds a machined boss and the 20 mm trim window lets the setter shorten the clamp travel to suit each jig.
Automated guided vehicles use short-stroke latches to dock with charging stations; the stainless barrel laughs at the wet, dusty warehouse floor that corrodes painted bodies.
The LB foot suits upside-down or side-wall mounting where a flange would shadow the work; FA flange and I or Y rod knuckles are the other options. Between bores, 25 mm gives 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 40 mm gives 628.3 N, bracketing this 32 mm bore's 402.2 N. The stop screw sets where the extend stroke finishes - it is not a mid-stroke lock, and a piston drifting under lost air still needs an external clamp. Ports depend on the bore alone, so this one takes 1/8 inch.
Quick checklist
Expect 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, and a theoretical peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder needs 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), tolerates 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure and cycles from 30-800 mm/s.
As ordered it carries an LB foot for flat plate mounting; the same bore is also available as an FA flange, or with I and Y rod knuckles on the basic version. Ports depend on the bore alone, so every 32 mm MA cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port, and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
