The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X10-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" 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.
Ten millimetres of stroke with nearly a kilonewton behind it makes this MACJ a natural clamp: the 50 mm bore pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N at 0.5 MPa, and the 10 mm adjustable window spans the entire travel, so the extend stroke can be trimmed from a creeping few millimetres right up to the full 10 mm. A variable air cushion at both ends tames the clamp impact. Rated for 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Around that short stroke sits the classic MA build - a stainless-steel barrel, a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod and aluminium covers rolled onto the tube, a package that tolerates coolant splash and humid air where painted minis corrode. Derate for real work and about 589 N is available at 0.5 MPa; against gravity that matches roughly 100 kg, or 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The piston magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches confirm clamp state without any special-order hardware.

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 | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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.
Clamp machined blanks against a fixture on a small milling machine, using the 10 mm window to tune clamp arm travel per part family.
Drive a light-duty crimp head over battery terminals in a bench press, where the 981 N push and cushioned landing give repeatable crimps.
Eject finished parts from a shallow stamping die with a crisp 10 mm kick, adjustable so fragile parts are not flicked off the table.
Step down to a MACJ40 (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps or up to a MACJ63 (1558 N) for heavy ones; this bore 50 version is the mid-force short-stroke choice, fed through 1/4" ports. Bear in mind the trim screw fixes the extend endpoint only and will not stop a load drifting once pressure is gone. Mount via FA flange or LB foot and fit I or Y rod knuckles where the clamp arm pivots, with the factory magnet ready for switch fitment.
Quick checklist
Push is 981 N and pull 881 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 1374 N and pull to 1233 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double-acting, has a variable air cushion at both ends, a 10 mm adjustable extend window across the 10 mm stroke, 1/4" ports, and runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod stand up to coolant mist and washdown that would rust a painted mini, while the dual variable cushions let you clamp harder or cycle faster without slamming the covers. The standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for clamp-state sensing.
