The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ32X60-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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.
Corrosion is where the MACJ32X60-40S earns its keep: the stainless round barrel and 20 um hard-chromed carbon-steel rod handle damp cells, washdown splash and outdoor duty that pit painted minis within a season. Functionally it is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, and the -40 suffix lets the stop screw set the extend stroke anywhere inside a 40 mm window. Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
As a working figure, budget about 241 N for sustained pushing at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 402 N rating; that headroom between rating and duty is what keeps seals and bushings alive on multi-million-cycle runs. Position feedback needs no options either - the piston magnet ships standard and accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.

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.

| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -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.
Drives a lab fume-hood damper where the stainless barrel survives corrosive fumes that rust painted-steel bodies within months.
Diverts PET bottles between two chutes; the 40 mm window lets one gate serve both a 30 mm and a 55 mm lane spacing.
Latches a yard gate on an outdoor conveyor line, with the chromed rod resisting rain and grit season after season.
Between the MACJ25 (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the MACJ40 (628.3 N), this 32 mm unit is the default choice around 240 N of working force. The trim screw only shortens extend travel - treat it as a fixed end position, not a brake, because the rod will drift if pressure drops. Choose FA or LB mounting, add an I or Y knuckle for linkage work, and specify the ports as PT (blank), G or NPT when ordering.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 402.2 N push, 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563.0 N push, 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa: 82 kgf. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Both ends carry an adjustable air cushion, so end-of-stroke deceleration can be softened per direction. That lets you push speed toward 800 mm/s on heavier loads without the covers taking the shock, instead of slowing the whole cycle to protect the body.
