The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X250-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 250mm 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 double-acting mini cylinder with a 75 mm adjustable-stroke window: an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere inside that range on site, while variable air cushions at both ends dial out end-of-stroke shock. At 0.5 MPa (72 psi) the 50 mm bore pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N, climbing to 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa (102 psi), so it covers the force class most packaging and assembly machines ask of a mid-size actuator.
The body is a riveted stainless-steel round barrel with aluminium covers and a 16 mm hard-chrome plated rod, a build that shrugs off washdown and damp far better than painted-steel minis. Every unit leaves the factory with the piston magnet fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston. Working the numbers: halve the 981 N push rating and you still have about 589 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (72 psi) for real work.

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.

| 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.
Pushes 300 x 200 mm cartons across a transfer plate; the 75 mm window lets line engineers re-tune the throw between SKUs without swapping the cylinder.
The bore equates to roughly 100 kgf at 0.5 MPa (72 psi), so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 50 kg vertically, matching loaded tray weights.
The standard piston magnet feeds CMSG or DMSG switches so the PLC confirms each blade stroke on a pallet divert, cycle after cycle.
Step down to the 40 mm bore if 628 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi) covers your load, or up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N) when you need headroom. The 75 mm trim sets final extend position mechanically; remember it is an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, and if air is cut the rod can still drift, so use a valve or lock for held loads. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y rod knuckles where alignment wanders, and at 250 mm of stroke keep side loads low to protect the 16 mm rod from bending.
Quick checklist
Double-acting with a 75 mm adjustable window: push 981 N and pull 881 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi), push 1374 N and pull 1233 N at 0.7 MPa (102 psi), and 200.1 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa (145 psi). The stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere inside the 75 mm window; it does not lengthen travel past 250 mm.
The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only: it sets final position but will not hold the piston mid-stroke, and on air loss the rod still drifts under load. For position feedback the magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel. Cushions at both ends are variable, so you can soften stops as speed climbs toward the 800 mm/s top of the 30-800 mm/s range.
