The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X225-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 225mm 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.
Seventy-five millimetres of on-site trimming range - the widest window in this bore - lets the MACJ50X225-75S adapt its 225 mm extend stroke to fixture changes without swapping cylinders. Underneath sits the familiar MA build: a stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium covers, a 20 um hard-chrome rod, and a variable air cushion at each end that tames end-of-stroke shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Force-wise the 50 mm bore pushes 981 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa; in practice, budget around 589 N for the actual work so the cylinder never runs at its ceiling. That headroom, plus corrosion resistance no painted mini can match, suits long-run packaging machines and outdoor equipment exposed to spray and condensation.

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.
Loads a dancer or tension roller across paper or film webs, using the 75 mm window to retune arm travel when the web path or roll diameter changes.
Kicks finished stampings clear of a die on a 225 mm run, with the cushion absorbing the hit so thin parts are not marked at ejection speed.
Clamps the film tube during sealing on a vertical form-fill-seal machine; the stainless body shrugs off product dust and periodic wipe-downs.
Anchor the choice against neighbours: bore 40 tops out at 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa while bore 63 delivers 1558 N, so 50 mm is the middle path for forces in the 500-600 N band. With a long 225 mm stroke, side loads and rod bending deserve attention - guide the load in slides or pick an LB foot with external guidance rather than cantilevering the rod. The adjuster defines the extend endpoint and will not hold position against a dropped air supply, so plan a separate holding method. For sensing, the built-in magnet means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop onto the barrel out of the box.
Quick checklist
Yes: 981 N push / 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push / 1233 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and about 200 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The bore runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating and a 1/4" port.
The rolled stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod resist rust from condensation, washdown and outdoor exposure - spots where painted or plain aluminium minis pit and seal life suffers. Combine that with the standard-fit magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches and a two-way grease-retaining piston seal, and the body is built for long, wet service rather than a dry bench.
