The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X75-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm 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 strokes that repeat exactly: the MACJ40X75-20S pairs a 75 mm base stroke with a 20 mm adjustable window, so the extend position can be re-set on the machine rather than by swapping cylinders. It works double-acting with a variable cushion at each end, pushing 628.3 N and pulling 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, or 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa, at speeds from 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted stainless barrel and 16 mm hard-chrome rod hold up in humid plants where painted minis bubble and seize, running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air. Do the buyer math once: 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push leaves roughly 377 N for real work - enough to hoist a 32 kg palletized tray or clamp machined housings without slip. CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches attach directly because the piston magnet is included from the factory.

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.

| -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.
Holding sample trays in an automated analyzer: 377 N of practical clamp force, a magnet-fed CMSG switch for closed-clamp confirmation, and gentle cushioned seating.
Raising filled trays up a 75 mm step between roller conveyors; the 20 mm window tunes lift height per tray size, and the cushion lands each tray quietly.
Seating small ball valves during leak tests: the adjustable window sets seat travel for different valve sizes, and the dual cushion prevents seat slam even at the 879.6 N of 0.7 MPa push.
Match the bore to the task: a 20 mm MACJ manages only 157 N at 0.5 MPa while a 50 mm reaches 981.3 N, so the 40 mm suits medium-duty clamping, ejecting and lifting. The 20 mm adjuster is an extend-side end stop, not a position lock - expect drift if air is lost. Fit FA flange or LB foot mounts, bolt an I or Y knuckle on where the load swivels, and keep the 1/8 inch ports clear of restrictive fittings so the cushions do their job.
Quick checklist
Double-acting, 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke with up to 20 mm of extend-stroke adjustment. Force: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 128.1 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8 inch, the rod thread is M12x1.25, and the variable cushion works at both ends.
The magnet is built into the piston as standard on every MA-series cylinder - nothing to order specially. CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip onto the stainless barrel for position feedback, and since the barrel resists corrosion they hold up in damp or washed-down areas too.
