The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X120-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 120mm 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.
A narrow 10 mm trim is all this variant asks for: set the final approach height once on a 120 mm stroke and lock it in. The 50 mm bore works double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, producing 981.3 N on the extend side and 880.8 N on retract at 0.5 MPa, or 1373.8 N with 0.7 MPa supply.
Build quality is the quiet advantage: a rolled stainless barrel, aluminium covers and a 16 mm hard-chrome plated rod that keeps its finish through humid shifts. For lifting, the piston manages about 100 kg at 0.5 MPa - with a 2:1 margin that is a 50 kg payload per cycle. The piston magnet is fitted as standard equipment for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing, not a priced option.

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.
Sets the clamp arm final approach on jigs that get re-tooled; 10 mm of trim covers shim-stack differences between frames.
Raises a 45 kg stack of blister trays each cycle, sitting inside the 50 kg vertical margin at 0.5 MPa.
Locks an indexing table into position; the air cushion absorbs the snap-in so the detent pin does not bounce.
Compare first: the 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N and the 63 mm bore 1557.9 N, both at 0.5 MPa, so 50 mm is the mid pick for jigs around the 500-900 N mark. The 10 mm stop is a mechanical end-of-extend stop; it is not a mid-stroke lock and will not arrest a load when air bleeds off. Fit the FA flange for face mounting or the LB foot for base mounting, use I or Y knuckles on linkages, and mate valves to the 1/4" port with supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s. At 120 mm of stroke, guide side loads externally and keep honest working force near 589 N to protect the rod seals.
Quick checklist
The 50 mm bore gives 981.3 N push and 880.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1373.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 16 mm with an M14x1.5 thread, the port is 1/4", and the adjust window is 10 mm.
The stop screw changes extend position only. The variable air cushion remains a feature at both ends of the cylinder, and the standard piston magnet keeps triggering CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches at the retracted end regardless of the trim setting.
