The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X50-50S 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.
With a 50 mm bore and just 50 mm of travel, this MACJ covers short push-off steps in tight machinery, yet it still delivers 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 1374 N at 0.7 MPa). It is double-acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -50 window lets the stop screw shorten the extend travel anywhere across its full length, and a variable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke shock. The barrel is stainless steel with riveted aluminium covers, and the hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off washdown better than painted mini cylinders.
Do the lifting math before you buy: at 0.5 MPa it holds about 589 N of real working force with headroom, and it can raise roughly 100 kg vertically in theory - plan for around 50 kg if you want a 2:1 margin. The piston magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight on. Speed range 30-800 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.

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.
A 50 mm stroke fits bench-top electronics presses; 981 N at 0.5 MPa seats spacers cleanly, and the trim window dials in the exact press depth.
Short, fast flap-tucking at 30-800 mm/s with dual cushions keeps noise down in rinse-prone areas where the stainless barrel earns its keep.
The stainless round body shrugs off syrup spills and hose-down; the -50 adjuster sets the exact eject position so bottles clear the gate every cycle.
For this force class, bore 40 tops out at 628 N push at 0.5 MPa while bore 63 reaches 1558 N, so the 50 mm bore sits in the middle for medium clamp and press jobs. Note the adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock - if supply air drops, the piston can still drift, so use a blocking valve where position must persist. Mount it FA flange or LB foot; I and Y rod knuckles are available (the adjustable version has no SDB or back-cover code). With only 50 mm of stroke there is no rod-bending concern, a simple alignment check is enough.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 50 mm with a 16 mm rod, 1/4" ports, M14x1.5 male rod thread, an extend stroke adjustable across the full 50 mm window and a variable air cushion at both ends. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
No. The -50 adjuster is a stop screw that shortens the extend stroke within its window; it never locks the piston mid-stroke, and on air loss the rod can still move. Treat it as a stroke-position setter only, and add a blocking valve if the load has to stay put.
