The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X400-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 400mm 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.
Built on AirTAC's MA round-body platform, this 50 mm bore MACJ pairs a 400 mm stroke with a 10 mm extend-stroke trim window: an external stop screw lets you shorten the reach on site without swapping hardware. It is double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, rated 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 981 N; at 0.7 MPa that climbs to 1374 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 200.1 kgf.
The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod (20 um) resist mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted mini cylinders, while the aluminium-alloy covers keep the package light. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight on. For sizing, treat roughly 589 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push) as the realistic working force, or about 50 kg of vertical lift with 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.
| 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.
Stroke a divert gate across a wide conveyor lane; the 10 mm trim lets production nudge the gate seat so cartons square up before the flap folds.
Lift carton stacks of about 50 kg vertically with margin; cushioning at both ends settles the stack without bounce at the top of the 400 mm travel.
Rotate a small ingredient pan through its dump angle; 981 N at 0.5 MPa handles a loaded pan plus linkage friction with headroom to spare.
Size both ways before committing: the 40 mm bore MACJ delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 63 mm bore reaches 1558 N for heavier push. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lock the piston mid-stroke, so on air loss the rod still drifts; add a valve or external stop if you need holding. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, and I or Y rod knuckles suit linkage work. At 400 mm of stroke, keep side loads low and guide the load externally to protect the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 1373.8 N (pull 1233.1 N). The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200.1 kgf. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, port 1/4.
Every MACJ ships with a magnet in the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel with no special-order piston. The barrel is stainless steel with a hard-chrome plated rod, and the 50 mm bore takes 1/4 ports.
