The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X30-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm 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.
Short 30 mm travel and fine trim go together in the MACJ40X30-10S, whose 10 mm window tightens the extend position for clamp and press-fit stations. Double-acting with cushions at both ends, it runs 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Force class: 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, 128 kgf theoretical ceiling.
Because the 40 mm bore rides in a riveted stainless tube with a hard-chrome 16 mm rod, splash zones and humid cells do not scare it. The piston magnet is standard fitment, so snap a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch on for end-of-stroke signals. In practice, budget about 377 N for the actual work at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 32 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 ratio.

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.
Clamping small brackets in a drill fixture: 628 N holds the part firmly and the 10 mm window sets exact jaw closure depth.
Kicking finished parts out of an injection mold nest, with twin cushions protecting the tooling through high cycle rates.
Short probing strokes to confirm a casting sits home, signalled by a CMSG switch reading the standard built-in magnet.
Drop to bore 32 (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) for light clamps or step up to bore 50 (981 N) for heavy grips; 628 N covers this class. The 10 mm stop trims extend travel only and does not hold position when air bleeds off. Fixed machines use the FA flange or LB foot, while I and Y knuckles suit pivoting tooling. The short 30 mm stroke keeps the 16 mm rod stiff, so side-load worries are minimal at correct alignment.
Quick checklist
Figures for the 40 mm bore: 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 880 N push and 739 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 128 kgf theoretical ceiling. The 10 mm window trims the 30 mm extend stroke with an external screw. It works across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s.
No special order is needed because the magnet is standard inside the piston; any CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch clamps to the barrel for end-of-stroke signals. The twin air cushions matter here too, since short, fast clamping strokes are exactly where cover impact shows up.
