The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X125-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 125mm 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.
AirTAC built the MACJ50X125-30S around a 50 mm stainless barrel that pushes 981 N at 0.5 MPa - comfortably into medium-press territory for a mini cylinder. A 30 mm adjustment window lets maintenance dial the extend stroke down to match tooling changes, and dual variable cushions keep stops gentle anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Because the round body is rolled and riveted, there are no tie rods to loosen under vibration. The rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, and a piston magnet is fitted as standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switching. For sizing, treat about 589 N as realistic working force at 0.5 MPa; that corresponds to lifting roughly 50 kg vertically with 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 | 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.
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | 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.
The 30 mm window matches pick-stopping throw on rapier looms, and the cushions absorb the stop at 600 mm/s line speed.
Clamps MDF panels on a CNC router bed; the stainless barrel survives glue mist and the humid air of a busy joinery.
Trim within 30 mm to re-level cartons between bottle sizes; the magnet drives a DMSG sensor for gate-down proof before filling starts.
Step down to the MACJ40 (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) for compact cells, or up to the MACJ63 (1558 N) when stamping loads climb; this 50 mm bore sits between them. The stroke adjuster is an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock - if air is lost the piston drifts, so do not count on it to hold. Mount FA or LB, add I or Y knuckles, order PT, G or NPT threads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 981.3 N push, 880.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke adjusts over a 30 mm window, cushion is variable at both ends, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
FA flange and LB foot brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles cover most fixturing needs. The standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches along the barrel groove - no special piston required. Note the adjustable version carries no SDB or back-cover mounting code.
