The AirTAC MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X175-75S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm 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.
Few mini cylinders let you re-range the extend stroke by 75 mm with a screwdriver, but the MACJ50X175-75S does exactly that.
The stainless round barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod suit outdoor and food splash zones where painted minis rust through.

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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 kgf |
MAJ / MACJ are double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster exits the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. The rod-side (annular) area is used for both directions (conservative).
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | 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 (double rod, 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.
A 175 mm pin pull on a forklift attachment needs about 589 N of real force; the 75 mm window lets one cylinder serve several pin spacings.
Lower a capper onto 330 ml bottles; cushions at both ends stop the head tapping caps at the bottom of each 175 mm drop.
Drive a sampling probe into sacks outdoors; the stainless body and chrome rod shrug off dust and weather that ruin painted minis.
Compare before you buy: a bore 40 MA pushes about 628 N at 0.5 MPa and saves space, while a bore 63 pushes 1558 N when you need headroom. The 180 mm-class body keeps weight low, and the 1/4" port feeds the cushion chambers. Fit the FA flange or LB foot to suit the frame, and choose I or Y knuckles for pivoting loads.
Keep in mind the adjuster is a mechanical extend stop, not a mid-stroke lock; without air the rod can drift, so add a locking valve where a suspended load must stay put.
Quick checklist
It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, and the extend stroke can be shortened anywhere in a 75 mm window with both-end variable cushions.
No. The stop screw fixes the extend endpoint only; it is not a brake. On air loss the piston will still move under load, so use a valve with a locked center or an external mechanical stop for holding duties.
