The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ50X70-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 70mm 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 70 mm base stroke with a 20 mm trim window suits machines where the exact dwell point is tuned on site: the stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere inside those 20 mm while the variable cushion settles the load at both ends. At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore generates about 981 N of push and 881 N of pull; at 0.7 MPa, 1374 N and 1233 N.
The MA body is a one-piece riveted stack rather than a bolted assembly: stainless barrel, aluminium covers, hard-chrome rod. That build resists corrosion in wet or outdoor cells and holds alignment over millions of cycles. The standard magnet means a CMSG switch can confirm the trimmed extend position right away, and sizing around 589 N at 0.5 MPa - six tenths of rated push - keeps the seals cool.

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.
With a 2:1 margin the bore lifts about 50 kg vertically; the 70 mm stroke raises a light fixture or workpiece tray on a small lift table.
The extend stroke is trimmed within the 20 mm window to close the chip guard just short of the chuck, and the cushion keeps the closure quiet.
Seating an index pin needs firm, repeatable force; about 981 N at 0.5 MPa seats the pin while the magnet confirms the home position.
Where 981 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the load needs, the MACJ40 offers about 628 N; where it falls short, the MACJ63 pushes about 1558 N. Treat the adjuster as a hard extend-side stop only - under lost air the piston can still coast, so it is no substitute for a locking circuit. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, add I or Y knuckles for pivoting loads, and rely on the built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensing. Ports are 1/4 inch.
Quick checklist
Yes: push about 981 N at 0.5 MPa, pull about 881 N at 0.5 MPa, push about 1374 N and pull about 1233 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of about 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, rod 16 mm threaded M14x1.5, ports 1/4 inch, cushion variable at both ends.
FA flange and LB foot brackets bolt the round body into fixtures, while I and Y rod knuckles handle loads that pivot. The adjustable-stroke version omits the SDB and back-cover mounting codes, so plan the bracket layout around the flange or foot position on the barrel.
