The AirTAC MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X20-10S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 20mm 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 short 20 mm stroke with a 10 mm trim window suits punch, clamp and ejection moves where every tenth of a millimetre counts.
The rolling-packed stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod stands up to washdown better than painted minis of the same size.

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).

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×20 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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). |

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 20 mm crimp punch needs short travel and high force; about 589 N of working effort at 0.5 MPa crimps terminals all day, with cushions removing end-of-stroke hammer.
Clamp sheet-metal blanks on a pick-and-place gripper; the 10 mm window fine-tunes grip travel while the magnet signals closed position via CMSG.
Eject moulded caps from a shallow cavity in 20 mm; the stainless barrel survives the humid, washdown-prone mould-shop air.
For 20 mm moves, mounting is usually an LB foot under a fixture or an FA flange behind a punch plate, with I or Y knuckles for clamping links. The standard magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for part-present sensing.
Treat the stop screw as an extend position limiter only; it will not clamp against a falling load when air is lost, so use an external lock for safety-critical holds.
Quick checklist
It operates on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, with the extend stroke adjustable within a 10 mm window and variable cushion at both ends.
No. The magnet is built in as standard on the whole MA family, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or electronic switches mount directly on the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke or part-present detection without any special-order hardware.
