The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X50-40S 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.
Wrapped in a riveted stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod, the MACJ32X50-40S shrugs off washdown splash and light corrosive atmospheres that quickly ruin painted mini cylinders. Its rolling-packed aluminium covers and grease-storing two-way piston seal keep the body reliably sealed over years of cycling.
This is a double-acting, adjustable-stroke cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends; the stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere inside a 40 mm window. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N, so budget roughly 241 N for real work instead of the full rating. The magnet ships built in, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on, with speed tunable from 30 to 800 mm/s at 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.
| 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.

| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |

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.
Trim the extend stroke between 10 and 50 mm to set an exact tool gap on a small stamping fixture, with the cushion absorbing each clamp impact.
Kick mislabeled cartons off a single lane at up to 800 mm/s, sizing the sweep precisely with the stop screw and confirming position via DMSG.
Cycle plastic snap-fit samples in a lab rig with repeatable cushioned endpoints, trimming throw as test fixtures change.
At this force class a 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) handles light clamping, while a 40 mm bore (628 N push) doubles the muscle if your load creeps up. Remember the adjuster is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock - if air fails, the rod still drifts, so do not treat it as a load-holding brake. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y rod knuckles where the linkage needs a pivot, and the standard magnet keeps switch feedback free of special orders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563 N push and 484 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. The rod measures 12 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread, ports are 1/8", supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed is 30-800 mm/s, and the extend stroke trims within a 40 mm window.
Yes. Every MACJ cylinder carries a built-in piston magnet as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel without ordering a magnetized special. The stainless barrel also gives switches a clean, corrosion-free clamping surface in wet shops.
