The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X80-40S 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.
Forty millimetres of bore, eighty of stroke, and a 40 mm band in which the extend stroke can be shortened at will: that is the MACJ40X80-40S brief. Double-acting with variable air cushions at both ends, it turns 0.5 MPa into 628 N of push and 528 N of pull inside a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating band, reaching 880 N at 0.7 MPa.
The riveted stainless round body and 16 mm hard-chrome rod handle humid plants and light washdown better than painted minis, and the factory-fitted magnet means CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches bolt on without a special-order piston. Think in lifting terms and 628 N equals roughly 64 kg vertical, or about 32 kg once you halve it for a 2:1 margin.

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.
Halved rating gives about 32 kg of vertical force, enough to seat lids without cracking the film; stainless surfaces wipe clean between runs.
Trim the 40 mm window so the gate opens exactly to the orifice and meters M6 fasteners without jamming.
Set latch travel with the stop screw and let the built-in magnet confirm full lock through a CMSG switch on the panel.
Match the bore to the load: 402 N push at 0.5 MPa from a 32 mm cylinder suits light duty, 981 N from a 50 mm bore covers heavy pressing, and this 40 mm unit's 628 N lands between them. Speeds of 30-800 mm/s plus the dual cushions let you tune each cycle. Choose FA flange or LB foot fixing, I or Y rod knuckle where the load articulates. Do not treat the stop screw as a brake: it sets extend length, and on air loss the piston can still coast to that stop.
Quick checklist
Push 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa; push 880 N and pull 739 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 80 mm stroke is field-trimmable over a 40 mm window, the rod is 16 mm hard chrome, and the port size is 1/8".
FA flange and LB foot brackets are standard catalogue items, and I or Y rod knuckles suit pivoting loads; the adjustable-stroke build does not use the SDB or a back-cover code. Whichever you pick, the stainless barrel and built-in magnet stay identical.
