The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X25-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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.
Compact force for tight fixtures: behind a 25 mm stroke, the 50 mm bore of the MACJ50X25-30S turns 0.5 MPa plant air into 981.3 N of push, enough to stake, clamp or seat small parts briskly. The stop screw trims the extend stroke within the ordered 30 mm window, and cushions at both ends let the rod run anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s without cover hammer. A practical ceiling for sustained work is around 589 N, which keeps the two-way seal cool through millions of cycles.
Under the skin sits a riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, an arrangement that shrugs off coolant mist far longer than lacquered steel minis. The piston magnet leaves the factory fitted, so position sensing stays a plug-on job with CMSG, DMSG or 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.
Switching single-serve bottles between two lanes takes a brief 25 mm shove; the 30 mm adjust window realigns the gate rail without remachining brackets.
Clamping PCB pallets flat before the solder wave suits the 981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the stainless barrel tolerates flux residue and routine washing.
Pressing labels onto detergent bottles on a rotary labeler needs a firm short stroke; the extend stop dials press depth to the container without shims.
A 40 mm cylinder supplies 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 63 mm bore reaches 1557.9 N; choose the 50 mm when your loads sit between those 64 kgf and 159 kgf classes. The trim stop holds the extend position only while air is present, so treat drift on power loss as normal and interlock the supply if that matters. Pick FA flange or LB foot mounting, add an I or Y rod knuckle where tooling pivots, and keep the 1/4 ports fed at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Quick checklist
Rated push is 981.3 N and pull 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa; raise the supply to 0.7 MPa for 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull, with a 200.1 kgf theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Planning sustained work near 589 N is a sound margin, on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air.
Air cushioning is variable at both caps, so you bleed each cushion needle to match its end to the load; combined with the 30-800 mm/s speed range, heavier masses decelerate smoothly instead of pounding the aluminium covers.
