The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X100-10S 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.
Most of the travel, a sliver of trim: the MACJ63X100-10S runs a full 100 mm stroke at bore 63, yet its extend stop can be shortened by up to 10 mm on site for fine position setting. Force is unchanged by the adjustment - 1558 N out and 1457 N back at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 2181 N and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa - and the variable cushion at each end tames the arrival of the 317.7 kgf class piston.
For sizing, treat about 935 N as the practical push at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60 percent of rating); on a vertical lift that corresponds to about 79 kg with a 2:1 margin, or 159 kg at full rating. The hard-chrome rod over the stainless barrel also tolerates coolant splash and humidity that would rust a painted body, keeping seal life predictable in messy cells.

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.
Raising a nesting table 100 mm between stations; 1558 N carries the pallet and the 10 mm trim sets exactly where the table tops out.
Sliding a gate on a parcel sorting line, with the dual cushions stopping the gate hard at each end of the 100 mm travel.
Loading samples in a benchtop materials rig where the stop screw caps the approach stroke after calibration, protecting delicate specimens.
Ten millimetres of adjustment on a 100 mm stroke is the sweet spot when the machine fixes the stroke but the final approach needs hand-tuning - think tooling that gets shimmed after commissioning. Size down to the 50 mm bore (981 N push, 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa) if the load sits under about 900 N; the 63 mm MACJ is the strongest MA option there is. Choose FA or LB mounting, add I or Y knuckles on linkages, and note the trim screw defines the extend limit only - it will not hold the load if supply air fails. The built-in magnet feeds CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches as standard equipment.
Quick checklist
Rated for 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, it develops 1558 N forward and 1457 N reverse at 0.5 MPa, 2181 N forward and 2040 N reverse at 0.7 MPa, and up to 317.7 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 100 mm with a 10 mm adjustable trim, both-end cushioning is variable, and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
No - the -10 stop screw simply defines where the extend stroke ends. It is a mechanical limit, not a brake, so with air removed the piston and load can still be pushed along the barrel. Fit an external locking clamp if the position must survive pressure loss; the trim window just makes the end position repeatable cycle after cycle.
