The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X25-30S 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.
A 40 mm bore packed into a riveted round barrel, the MACJ40X25-30S runs double-acting with a 30 mm extend-stroke trim window and a variable air cushion at both ends. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 879.6 N on the extend side. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod (20 um) shrug off washdown and damp shop air better than painted mini bodies, and the rolling-packed aluminium covers keep the seal intact through millions of cycles.
For real work at 0.5 MPa, size the task to roughly 377 N rather than the full 628.3 N rating - that margin keeps the 16 mm rod from lugging. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches clip straight onto the barrel without a special piston. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.

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).

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×25 | Stroke length in mm. |

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.
Short-stroke clamping of brackets before weld - the 30 mm window lets the jig builder trim clamp travel to the part after trials.
Ejecting cartons or offcuts sideways at up to 800 mm/s; the dual cushion keeps the 25 mm stop from hammering the covers.
Diverting packs at a transfer point; the practical 377 N working force handles loaded cartons without slamming.
The 25 mm stroke suits clamping, ejecting or sorting moves where a few millimetres of on-site trim matter - the -30 window lets you shorten the extend stroke from the ordered 25 mm with a stop screw; it cannot lengthen past it. Note the stop only sets the extend position: if air is lost the piston can still drift, so fit a separate lock where loads must stay put. Next bore down, the MACJ32 pushes 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; one up, the MACJ50 reaches 981.3 N. Mount with FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y rod knuckles where the linkage needs them, and port it at 1/8" (PT blank, G or NPT to order).
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan real work around 377 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push) for a durable margin.
No. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a magnet in the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel - no special-order piston and no extra charge for the magnet itself.
