The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X150-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm 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 150 mm working stroke with up to 100 mm of on-site trimming makes this Dia 50 MACJ a natural fit for gates, feeders and part pushes whose exact position is only discovered during commissioning. Air works both ways (double-acting) and a variable cushion at each end tames the 981 N push at 0.5 MPa, so a 30-800 mm/s cycle can run briskly without end-of-stroke hammering. The round stainless barrel is riveted to aluminium covers around a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod, standing up to washdown and weather.
For planning, count on about 589 N of effective push at 0.5 MPa - the derated figure that keeps seals and bushings happy over millions of cycles. Position feedback needs no options: the standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches at both trimmed and full extension.

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.
Swings a flow-control gate across the filler lane; the 100 mm window absorbs lane-width changes between bottle formats.
Side-shifts cartons off the main roller bed into a chute, the cushioned landing keeping the boxes square on arrival.
Advances a 12-sample tray one station, with EMSG sensing confirming the trimmed home position every cycle.
At 150 mm the rod starts to see side loads, so guide the load on external rails rather than letting the 16 mm rod take lateral force; alignment here protects both the barrel and the seals. Compare forces: a MACJ40 pushes 628 N at 0.5 MPa and a MACJ63 reaches 1558 N, leaving bore 50 the balance point for 60-90 kg loads. If the supply drops, nothing holds the rod at the trimmed point - add a valve or external stop where holding matters. FA flange and LB foot mounts cover most frames, and I or Y knuckles suit linkages.
Quick checklist
Stroke 150 mm with a 100 mm adjustable trim window on the extend side; double-acting with variable cushions at both ends. Forces: 981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 1374 N push and 1233 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 200 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, port 1/4-inch, rod thread M14x1.5.
Longer strokes mean more rod exposure, and the hard-chrome plated rod plus stainless barrel resist the rust that plagues painted bodies in damp or outdoor locations. The riveted construction keeps the tube and covers permanently sealed, and the built-in magnet makes CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch mounting a direct fit.
