The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X150-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm 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.
Every MACJ40X150-40S ships with a 40 mm trim window, letting maintenance crews shorten the extend stroke within 40 mm of travel as tooling changes. At 0.5 MPa the 40 mm bore generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it reaches about 880 N and 739 N, with a theoretical peak of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A 2:1 margin on the lift figure means roughly 32 kg can be raised vertically with confidence.
Because the barrel is stainless steel and the rod hard-chrome plated, this riveted round-body mini tolerates washdown and humidity that would pit painted competitors. Both ends carry a variable air cushion to tame end-of-stroke shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply, and the built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches out of the box.

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.

| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | 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.
Holding an aluminium bracket for torque checking draws on the 527.8 N pull stroke at 0.5 MPa when the clamp retracts clear of the fixture.
Switching parcels between belts at up to 800 mm/s benefits from both-end cushions that stop the arm without jolt or cover hammering.
The 40 mm trim range lets a technician match the probe stroke to different housing depths without remachining the jig or buying a new cylinder.
Compare before you commit: the 32 mm bore gives 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 50 mm bore 981.3 N, placing this 40 mm unit in the middle for 400-600 N jobs. Remember the trim screw shortens the extend stroke only and will not lock the piston against backdrift when air fails. FA and LB mountings plus I and Y knuckle options suit most jig plates, and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches with no special order. On a 150 mm stroke, minimise side load on the 16 mm rod with external guides.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628.3 N push, 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 879.6 N push, 738.9 N pull. Theoretical limit 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 150 mm, the extend trim window is 40 mm, the rod is 16 mm hard-chrome steel, and the air port is 1/8".
Each end carries a variable air cushion, so shock at 800 mm/s travel is absorbed by air rather than bumpers alone, letting you speed up cycles safely. Fix the body with an FA flange or LB foot, choose I or Y knuckles for pivot links, and clip a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch onto the standard magnet.
