The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X75-40S 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.
Adjustable on the fly: a stop screw on the MACJ40X75-40S sets the extend stroke anywhere inside a 40 mm window below the 75 mm ordered travel, while the variable air cushion at each end soaks up deceleration shock so faster cycling stays practical.
The rolled stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod laugh off damp workshops and periodic washdown. At 0.5 MPa the bore 40 piston makes about 628 N of push, of which roughly 377 N is a sane working figure; hung vertically it lifts about 64 kg, or 32 kg kept to a 2:1 margin. Speed 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean air.

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.
Robot-tending cells clamp raw aluminum blanks before pickup; the 40 mm trim absorbs fixture tolerance differences between part families, backed by 628 N at 0.5 MPa.
Small press shops set ejector throw per die height by turning the stop screw, replacing shim packs, while the 739 N retract at 0.7 MPa snaps the ejector home.
On a bakery tray line, switching trays between proofing and cooling lanes uses the trimmed stroke to match lane pitch; the both-end cushion keeps the gate quiet at speed.
Next sizes down and up: a 25 mm bore of the series delivers about 245 N at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore about 981 N, so this 40 mm at 628 N is the mid choice. Remember the stroke adjuster positions the piston at end of travel only - it is not a brake and will not clamp a load if air pressure drops.
Fix it by LB foot or FA flange; I and Y knuckles suit pivoting links. Because the magnet ships fitted, a CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch slides on for sensing without any special-order piston.
Quick checklist
Push 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa; 880 N push and 739 N pull at 0.7 MPa; about 128 kgf theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Stroke adjusts within a 40 mm window, rod speed spans 30-800 mm/s, and the ports are 1/8".
The air cushion at each end is adjustable, so the piston decelerates just before contact. That matters when cycling at the top of the 30-800 mm/s range or when the load changes between part batches - the covers stop getting hammered.
