The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X500-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 500mm 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.
Spanning 500 mm with a 75 mm on-site trim window, this is the most flexible long-stroke option in the 50 mm family. Expect 981.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 1373.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with variable cushions at both ends letting you run up to 800 mm/s without hammering the covers.
Construction is a rolled stainless-steel round barrel with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod - a pair that resists corrosion in damp plants and outdoor cells. The magnet is standard on every piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop on for position feedback. Sized conservatively, plan on about 589 N of working force at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 50 kg of vertical lifting capability 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.
Raising tote boxes of about 40 kg between mezzanine levels; the bore lifts roughly 50 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa with margin to spare.
Pushing full yarn beams off their chocks at end of doff, cushioned landings protecting the beam edges at up to 800 mm/s.
Setting cut lengths on a coil feed line; the 75 mm trim window covers multiple blank sizes on one cylinder without re-gapping.
This 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (628.3 N at 0.5 MPa) and 63 mm (1557.9 N) sizes - pick it when your load sits near 900 N after friction losses. The 75 mm window gives the widest tuning range here, but the stop only limits the extend stroke; it will not lock the rod against back-driving when air fails. FA flange and LB foot mounts both suit a 500 mm stroke; keep the load guided so the 16 mm rod sees pure axial force.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder develops 981.3 N on extend and 880.8 N on retract. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and those figures become 1373.8 N and 1233.1 N. The maximum theoretical output at 1.0 MPa is 200.1 kgf. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MA-series cylinder leaves the factory with a magnet built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches attach directly to the stainless barrel. Add them at order time or retrofit them later without opening the cylinder.
