The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X300-30SH is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 300mm 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.
When a 300 mm travel has to stop short of full extension, the MACJ40X300-30SH lets you set the exact extend position within a 30 mm window - no spacers, no re-ordering. Output stays the same as any bore 40 MACJ: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Derate to about 377 N for continuous duty and the cylinder keeps margin in reserve.
Stainless tube, chrome-plated 16 mm rod, riveted aluminium covers: built for the damp corners of a plant where painted minis corrode. The standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches for end-of-stroke signalling. Note the trailing H in the code is a special suffix - confirm from datasheet before ordering.

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.
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×300 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Sets a heat-seal bar precisely inside the 30 mm window so film seals land at the same depth every cycle.
A gate that must retract fully but advance to a fixed point: the adjuster locks in the advance depth.
Lifts a ventilation hood on a mixing vessel; the cushion damps the hood as it seats at top of stroke.
Match the stroke window to your stop position: anything inside 30 mm of full extension can be set here, otherwise order a larger -NN window. Force-wise, bore 32 offers 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter work and bore 50 offers 981.3 N if you need more than 628.3 N. Remember the adjuster shortens the extend stroke only and does not hold a load when pressure drops - plumb a pilot check valve where that matters. FA and LB mounts fit; for the H suffix, confirm from datasheet.
Quick checklist
Double-acting output: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 128.1 kgf is the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Bore 40 mm, 16 mm rod, 1/8" port, rod thread M12x1.25. Operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - every MACJ ships with the piston magnet already installed as a standard feature, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches mount directly onto the barrel and signal rod position with no special-order piston. Keep in mind the adjuster is an extend-stroke end stop only; it will not lock the rod against drift if air is lost.
