The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X200-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm 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.
Set the extend stroke wherever the job needs it: the -20 version of this 200 mm MACJ accepts a trim of up to 20 mm via its external stop screw, so one part number serves several station lengths. Underneath, the 50 mm bore does the lifting - 981 N out at 0.5 MPa, 881 N back on retract, and about 200 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. A variable air cushion at each end tames the stop at 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply air.
It is built on the MA round-body platform: stainless tube rolled together with aluminium covers over a stainless block, a hard-chrome 16 mm rod that survives washdown, and grease-storing two-way piston seals. The magnet is part of the standard build, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches attach without ordering anything special. For planning: count on about 589 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa, equivalent to hoisting roughly 50 kg vertically at 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.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |

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.
Ejects stamped 50 kg brackets off a press die. Working near 589 N leaves a 2:1 margin, and the 20 mm trim handles die-height changes between runs.
Lowers stacked baking trays about 180 mm at a washdown-prone bakery line; the stainless barrel and chrome rod resist the humid, floury environment.
Assists a 400 mm rotary indexing table through its final 200 mm of travel, with cushions absorbing the stop and the magnet confirming index-complete.
Force-wise, this 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm MACJ (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm (1558 N push), making it the natural choice once loads pass about 40 kg or speeds climb. Keep in mind the 20 mm adjuster only sets a shorter extend stroke - it is an end stop, not a lock, so an unsupported load will sag if supply air fails. FA flange and LB foot are the mounting options, with I or Y rod knuckles available for swinging loads, and a 200 mm stroke deserves external guiding to protect the rod from side load.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 981 N extend, 881 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 1374 N extend, 1233 N retract. Theoretical ceiling around 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Bore 50 mm, rod 16 mm with M14x1.5 male thread, ports 1/4 in., pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, extend stroke trimmable within a 20 mm window.
It matters daily. The rolled stainless barrel plus the 20 um hard-chrome-plated carbon-steel rod resist rust and pitting in damp, food-wash or outdoor air, where painted or plain aluminium mini cylinders corrode and start leaking at the seals. Combine that with the standard-built magnet and the variable cushion at each end, and you get long seal life plus position feedback at no extra order cost.
