The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X25-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm 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.
With a 20 mm trim range on a 25 mm stroke, the MACJ40X25-20S lets one cylinder cover several gap settings on compact tooling instead of one unit per setting. It is double-acting with a variable cushion at each end, fed with 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The stainless round barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod stand up to coolant splash and humid air, and the built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG 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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf |
MAJ / MACJ are double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster exits the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. The rod-side (annular) area is used for both directions (conservative).

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (double rod, 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.
Clamping brackets on an automotive weld fixture: the 20 mm window matches clamp-arm height per part variant, and 628 N at 0.5 MPa keeps pieces seated during spot welding.
Extending a flag into a photoelectric beam to confirm pallet seating: the trimmed stroke sets flag depth precisely, and the cushion keeps the cycle quiet.
Metering gates on a small bagging line need a fast, short throw; 25 mm of stroke at up to 800 mm/s cycles quickly while cushioned ends protect the covers.
If 628 N is more than the job needs, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if less, move to the 50 mm bore and its 981 N. This 40 mm middle class suits clamping and short transfer moves on densely packed machines. At a 25 mm stroke, rod bending is rarely a worry, though an FA flange or LB foot still anchors the unit best; I and Y knuckles fit swinging clamps. The adjuster fixes the extend stop only - it will not hold a load if air is lost. Magnet is standard; sensing needs no option order.
Quick checklist
Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa: 128.1 kgf. The cylinder is double-acting with the extend stroke adjustable within 20 mm of its 25 mm base, a variable cushion at each end, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range and 30-800 mm/s speed.
The barrel is stainless steel rolled into a round body with aluminium covers - no tie rods to work loose - and the carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating. That combination resists coolant mist, humidity and mild washdown, keeping the 628 N (0.5 MPa) output available year-round with minimal maintenance.
