The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X125-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm 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.
Bore 40 muscle in a compact round shell: the MACJ40X125-30S pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa (527.8 N retracting), tops out near 128.1 kgf theoretically, and runs clean at 30-800 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Its 30 mm window trims the extend stroke down to a 95 mm minimum on site.
The stainless barrel plus hard-chrome plated rod gives it a real edge over painted-steel minis in humid plants or outdoor service, and the riveted aluminium-alloy covers keep the package short. A magnet comes fitted on every piston - standard, not an option - so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop straight onto the barrel. For real-world sizing, plan jobs around 377 N rather than the full rating, which equals roughly 32 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin.

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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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.
A warehouse line gate swings wheeled dollies toward the sorter lane; 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa moves the load, and the 30 mm window matches the gate's parked angle exactly.
A farm equipment wash-bay gate opens in rain and mud thanks to the stainless barrel and chrome rod; 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa covers a stiff hinge without upsizing the bore.
A coil-car dock in a metal service centre uses the trimmed stroke to seat cars against a hard stop, with EMSG sensing confirming docked position on every cycle.
Compare before you buy: dropping to bore 32 saves space but gives up force (402.2 N vs 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa), and stepping to bore 50 buys 981.3 N for heavier work. On a 125 mm stroke, avoid cantilevered side loads - carry the payload in slides or bushings so the 16 mm rod stays straight and the chrome plating lasts. The window sets where the extend stroke finishes; it will not lock the piston against drift once air is removed. FA flange, LB foot and I / Y rod knuckles cover most fixings.
Quick checklist
The datasheet lists 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 128.1 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Run it on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.
AirTAC offers an FA flange and an LB foot for the body, plus I and Y rod knuckles where the load pivots on a linkage. Thread choices are PT (blank), G and NPT on the 1/8" ports of this bore. Note that the adjustable stop sets where the extend stroke finishes but will not hold a load against drift when air is removed.
