The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X150-50S 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 100 kg-class push in a compact round body: at 0.5 MPa the MACJ50X150-50S pushes 981 N, and its 50 mm adjuster window trims the 150 mm extend stroke down to whatever the machine needs. Both ends carry a variable air cushion, letting heavier loads brake smoothly across the full 30-800 mm/s speed band.
Construction is a riveted stainless-steel round barrel with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod - a combination that handles washdown, splash and outdoor exposure where painted minis corrode. Sizing rule of thumb: count on roughly 589 N of working force at 0.5 MPa, or treat the cylinder as lifting about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Magnets are built in as standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.

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.
Kicks parcels across a sorter lane; about 100 kg of push at 0.5 MPa moves heavy cartons at full belt speed.
Slides a guard over a lathe or mill spindle; the cushioned ends protect the guard on every 150 mm cycle.
Halts kegs at a brewery filling head; the chrome-plated rod and stainless barrel shrug off beer spill and washdown.
One bore down, the 40 mm unit offers 628 N at 0.5 MPa; one bore up, the 63 mm offers 1558 N - pick by real load, not nominal size. Since the 50 mm window is set by a mechanical extend-side stop rather than a lock, never rely on it to park a suspended load. FA and LB mountings fit standard plates, and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box.
Quick checklist
Push 981.3 N, pull 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa; push 1373.8 N, pull 1233.1 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 150 mm extend stroke adjusts across a 50 mm window, cushioning is variable at both ends, speed is 30-800 mm/s and pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop that shortens the extend stroke; it is not a mid-stroke lock or brake, so the piston can still drift if air pressure is lost. Use a separate locking valve or external stop for load holding.
