The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X400-30S 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.
A 400 mm stroke in a 50 mm round stainless barrel gives this MACJ a long reach, and the 30 mm adjust window means engineers can pull the extend stop back later as a product or fixture changes - no cylinder swap, no re-plumb. It is double-acting with a variable air cushion at each end, working range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s. At 0.5 MPa it develops 981 N of push; at 0.7 MPa, 1374 N.
Unlike painted mini cylinders that rust at the first washdown, the riveted stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off moisture, coolants and outdoor exposure. The piston magnet comes as standard, so EMSG or CMSG switches mount instantly. In practice, plan around 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 50 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety factor.

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.

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×400 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Eject filled bins off a roller conveyor into a chute; the 30 mm trim tunes the eject position after bin size changes without re-ordering the cylinder.
Slide a telescoping guard over a turning spindle; cushioning at both ends keeps the guard from slamming at either end of its 400 mm travel.
Push cartons off a 400 mm deep picking shelf; 981 N at 0.5 MPa moves a full carton even with slight shelf friction or product overhang.
The 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) suits lighter gates; the 63 mm bore (1558 N) handles heavier strokes - the 50 mm at 981 N is the middle path. Note the adjuster trims the extend stroke as an end stop only; if air pressure drops the rod will drift, so use a blocking valve where holding matters. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, plus I or Y rod knuckles for linkage ends. Long strokes amplify misalignment, so pilot the load and check couplings over the full 400 mm.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and push reaches 1373.8 N, pull 1233.1 N. Theoretical max at 1.0 MPa is 200.1 kgf. Operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Mounting options are the FA flange or LB foot, plus I or Y rod knuckles for pivoting linkages. The built-in piston magnet is standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clamp to the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signals without ordering a special cylinder.
