The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ40X80-50S 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.
With a 50 mm trimming window behind an 80 mm stroke, this MACJ lets a technician back the stop screw off until the extend travel lands exactly where the fixture needs it - anywhere from roughly 30 mm up to the full 80 mm. The cylinder is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so the last millimetres of travel stay controlled even at higher speeds. Its 40 mm bore delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 880 N on the push stroke at 0.7 MPa. In practice that is about 64 kg of vertical lift at face value, or roughly 32 kg when you keep a 2:1 margin for a real part weight.
The body is a riveted round barrel: stainless steel tube, hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod, aluminium covers rolled on for a sealed joint that shrugs off washdown and humid shop air far better than painted minis. A piston magnet ships as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on for end-of-stroke feedback with no special-order piston. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.

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.

| 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.
Trim the extend stroke so a dispensing nozzle on an electronics assembly line meets each PCB housing at the right height when product sizes change between batches.
Use the 628 N push to seat small bearings or bushings into aluminium pump housings, with the cushion softening the final seating blow.
Knock underfilled cartons off a packaging conveyor at up to 800 mm/s, dialing the stroke so the pusher clears the lane without overtravel.
Downsize to a MACJ32 (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter duties or step up to a MACJ50 (981 N) if loads grow; stay here when a 40 mm bore with an on-site trim range fits best. Note the stop screw only fences the end of the extend travel - it will not park a hanging load if air pressure is lost. Bolt it down with the FA flange or LB foot, fit I or Y rod knuckles where the load pivots, and lean on the standard magnet for switching.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 40 mm bore produces 628 N on push and 528 N on pull; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 880 N and pull 739 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double-acting, carries a variable air cushion at both ends, and offers a 50 mm adjustable extend window on the 80 mm stroke across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod resist corrosion in damp, washed-down or outdoor locations where painted bodies blister, and the rolled-on aluminium covers keep the joint sealed. The magnet built into the piston as standard accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position feedback.
