The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X30-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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.
Short 30 mm travel with a full 30 mm trim window: the stop screw can set the extend stroke anywhere within the range, making this a flexible punch, clamp or ejector actuator. Double-acting with a variable air cushion at each end, it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi), and the cushion soaks up the shock of short, fast blows at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
At 0.5 MPa (72 psi) about 589 N of that thrust is a comfortable working figure once a margin is applied. The body is a rolling-packed stainless round tube with aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated rod, and it carries no tie-rods to loosen in damp, food-area or outdoor locations. Every cylinder ships with the magnet installed, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on.

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.
Stamps date codes on 150 mm aluminium housings; 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa (102 psi) gives a crisp impression while cushions mute the impact.
Opens and closes a slide gate every cycle; the 30 mm window matches gate travel exactly, and washdown-friendly stainless suits the area.
Kicks trimmed sprues off the die; the standard piston magnet with a CMSG switch confirms each ejection for the PLC.
For a 30 mm throw, compare the 40 mm bore at 628 N push (0.5 MPa, 72 psi) against this 50 mm at 981 N, or step to the 63 mm bore (1558 N) for heavy clamping. The 30 mm window sets extend position on site, but treat it purely as an end stop; with no pressure the piston is free to move, so it cannot park a load by itself. FA flange or LB foot mounting, plus I or Y rod knuckles, covers most fixtures.
Quick checklist
Push 981 N, pull 881 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi); push 1374 N, pull 1233 N at 0.7 MPa (102 psi); theoretical peak 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa (145 psi). The extend stroke is 30 mm, adjustable within a 30 mm window via the external stop screw. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.
It shortens the extend stroke: the stop screw sets any final position up to 30 mm short of full travel. It never lengthens the stroke, and because it is a mechanical stop rather than a mid-stroke lock, the rod is not restrained if air pressure is lost. Mounting options are the FA flange and LB foot, with the magnet fitted as standard for sensor use.
