The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X450-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm 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.
Medium-force pushing over a long 450 mm stroke is this cylinder's job: 981.3 N of push and 880.8 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi across the band), 1373.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and 200.1 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. The 20 mm adjust window gives a short on-site trim of the extend stop, and the two-end variable air cushion protects the covers when cycles run fast. For lift work, count on roughly 50 kg vertical capacity with a 2:1 margin.
The round stainless barrel is rolled onto aluminium covers with grease-storing heterogeneous piston seals inside, and the carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating, a spec that survives food splash and outdoor rain without paint. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches attach immediately. Keep in mind the stop screw sets the extend endpoint only; it will not hold a load if supply air fails.

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. |
| ×450 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | 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.
Swings divert arms on a parcel sorter; the trim screw sets arm parking depth within 20 mm and sensors confirm position.
981 N at 0.5 MPa ejects green blocks from steel moulds in a dusty yard plant.
The 450 mm stroke raises small waterworks sluice gates, with the chrome rod resisting constant splash.
Compare by working force: this 50 mm bore offers about 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm size offers about 377 N (628.3 N rated) and the 63 mm about 935 N (1557.9 N rated). Pick the 20 mm window when changeovers move the stop by a few millimetres only. FA flange and LB foot mounts, plus I or Y rod knuckles, cover most frames; with 450 mm of stroke, support the load in an external guide so side force never reaches the rod. Speed runs 30-800 mm/s with cushion adjustment at both heads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 981.3 N push, 880.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 1373.8 N push, 1233.1 N pull. The theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 200.1 kgf. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. The magnet is fitted at the factory as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches snap onto the barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-travel sensing without ordering a magnetised piston.
