The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X80-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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.
Wet floors, condensation and frequent hose-downs are where the MACJ40X80-30S pulls ahead of painted-steel minis: a rolled stainless barrel with a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod will not flake or rust through. It is double acting, cushions both ends of travel, and its stop screw trims the extend stroke across a 30 mm window on site. At 0.5 MPa the 40 mm bore produces 628 N push and 528 N pull from a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
Because the magnet is fitted as standard equipment rather than a paid option, a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch turns it into a positioned actuator the day it arrives. Sizing note: expect about 377 N of dependable push at 0.5 MPa once a sensible service factor is applied to the full rating.

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.

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×80 | 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.
Set the nozzle approach within the 30 mm window so the bead lands identically on every corrugated blank.
628 N at 0.5 MPa shoves loaded 600 mm totes across the lane, and the washdown-friendly stainless build suits the humid zone.
Aim the stream per part family by adjusting the stop screw at the machine, with no cylinder changeover between jobs.
For mid-duty clamping and feeding, compare three sizes at 0.5 MPa push: 402 N on the 32 mm bore, 628 N here, 981 N on the 50 mm bore. Run 30-800 mm/s and trim the cushions until the ends go quiet. FA flange or LB foot mounting, with I and Y rod knuckles for pivoting loads; note the adjustable build carries no SDB or back-cover code. The stroke stop defines extend length only and will not hold a load if supply pressure fails, so route holding duty to a valve or a locking unit.
Quick checklist
Yes: 628 N push / 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push / 739 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a 128 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Bore 40 mm, stroke 80 mm adjustable across 30 mm, rod 16 mm hard chrome, 1/8" air port, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Painted and plain-aluminium minis pit quickly in washdown bays, near coolants or outdoors. The MACJ's rolled stainless tube plus a 20 um hard-chrome rod layer keeps sealing surfaces true, so the same cylinder runs longer in damp, food-adjacent or outdoor positions.
