The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X225-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm 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.
A 75 mm adjustment window makes the MACJ40X225-75S the flexible pick of the bore 40 adjustable range: run the full 225 mm extend stroke or dial it down to 150 mm without swapping cylinders. Double-acting throughout, with variable cushions at each end to tame end-of-stroke impact across 30-800 mm/s.
The stainless round barrel with rolled aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists corrosion in humid or washdown areas. Push force at 0.5 MPa is 628.3 N; sizing at about 60 percent of that leaves a practical 377 N for real work, enough to raise roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet comes standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without ordering extras.

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.

| 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.
Raising sample trays in automated lab equipment: about 32 kg of vertical capacity with reserve covers loaded tray stacks, and the 75 mm window tunes the lift height per method.
Automated guided vehicles use the adjustable stroke to lock charging decks at the exact height each station needs, with dual cushions softening every latch.
Clearing formed brackets from a small die: 628 N at 0.5 MPa pushes parts free quickly, and the cushion prevents shock as the tooling retracts.
For lighter duty the 32 mm bore gives 402 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier work step up to 50 mm and 981 N. This 40 mm unit sits between them at 628 N, a good middle for ejection and transfer heads. The long 225 mm stroke calls for external guiding or an I or Y knuckle on the 16 mm rod to keep side loads low. Remember the stop screw sets the extend position only: under air loss the piston is free to move, so add a separate locking valve where a load must stay put. FA flange and LB foot mounts fit, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 628.3 N and pull is 527.8 N; raise pressure to 0.7 MPa and you get 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull; the theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. The cylinder is double-acting, adjusts up to 75 mm off the 225 mm stroke, cushions at both ends, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.
The stop screw is a mechanical end stop that fixes the shortened extend position during normal running. It is not a load-holding brake: with air lost, the piston can still be displaced. For loads that must stay in place, pair the cylinder with a locking valve or an external clamp.
