The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X50-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm 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.
Wet food rooms and outdoor gantries are where a stainless round-body MA cylinder earns its keep, and the MACJ50X50-40S adds a generous 40 mm extend-stroke trim window on top of that corrosion-resistant build. Double-acting with a variable cushion at each end, it is set on site by an external stop screw rather than a new part number.
Rated 981.3 N push and 880.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa (200.1 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa), that works out near 589 N of practical working force - a fit for diverts, gates and clamps that must not over-travel. Position signals come at no extra cost: the standard built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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 | Stroke length in mm. |

| -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.
Wet-washdown conveyor diverts in beverage plants benefit from the stainless barrel plus 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
Trimming extend travel over the 40 mm band positions a hot-melt gate nozzle exactly against the carton seam.
Snapping lids onto small castings or pails takes about 589 N of working force with the stop set just above the part.
Against its neighbours, this bore splits the difference: 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa on a MACJ40, 1557.9 N on a MACJ63, 981.3 N here. Vertical lifting works out near 100 kg at full rating - halve it to about 50 kg for a 2:1 margin before choosing tooling mass.
FA and LB mountings plus I / Y rod knuckles cover most frames; the adjustable cylinder has no SDB or back-cover code in the range. Treat the stop screw as an extend-position stop, not a load brake - with air off the rod can still be pushed. 1/4" ports (PT, G or NPT) and an M14x1.5 male rod thread complete the picture.
Quick checklist
Push is 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 1373.8 N at 0.7 MPa; pull is 880.8 N and 1233.1 N respectively. Theoretical maximum is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa, so about 100 kg of vertical lift at full rating. Keep working loads near 589 N and treat the 40 mm stop as a position limit, not a load-holding lock.
No - every MACJ ships with the magnet built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop on for end-position detection with no special-order piston. That pairs with the standard 1/4" ports (PT blank, with G or NPT thread options) and FA flange or LB foot mounting.
