The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X100-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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.
Pushing, positioning and fine-tuning come together in the MACJ63X100-100S: a 63 mm round stainless body that drives 100 mm of stroke with 1558 N of push and 1457 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 2181 N and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the adjustable window equals the full stroke, the extend stop screw can shorten the effective throw anywhere from a few millimetres up to 100 mm - dial it in on the machine rather than on the order form.
At 317.7 kgf theoretical maximum this is the top force class of the MA series, yet the riveted barrel-and-cover build stays slimmer than many profile minis. Derate to about 935 N of continuous working push and the cylinder lifts about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, or about 159 kg at the raw rating. A variable cushion at each end protects the covers whenever the load arrives fast.

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.

| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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.
Kicking sealed boxes off a conveyor lane into a chute, where 100 mm of travel crosses the belt and about 935 N of derated push handles full cartons.
Sliding a machine safety gate open and closed, with the cushion absorbing the slam and the stop screw capping how far the gate travels.
Drawing a slide core in a small injection mould, where the trim window lets the moulder shorten the pull after tooling changes.
A 100 mm stroke at bore 63 is long enough that side loads matter: guide the load externally or fit an I or Y rod knuckle, since rod bending - not thrust - usually limits life on unguided pushes. If the 981 N at 0.5 MPa from a 50 mm bore covers the job, the smaller MACJ50 saves space; 63 mm is the ceiling of the range, so there is no step up. Mount via the FA flange or LB foot; note the adjustable version carries no SDB option, and the stop screw sets the extend limit without locking the load against drift when air pressure drops. CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches work with the standard magnet straight out of the box.
Quick checklist
Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and you get 1558 N extend force and 1457 N retract force at 0.5 MPa, or 2181 N and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa; peak theoretical output is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke trims within the 100 mm window, cushioning is variable at both ends, and speed covers 30-800 mm/s.
The barrel is stainless steel and the rod is carbon steel with a 20 um hard-chrome plate, so washdown, condensation and outdoor exposure do not chew through a coating the way they do on painted aluminium bodies. Riveted aluminium covers keep the seal line tight for the life of the cylinder.
