The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X100-20S 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.
Twenty millimetres of on-site adjustment rides on the strongest bore of the MA line: the MACJ63X100-20S moves 100 mm of stroke with 1558 N of push and 1457 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2181 N and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa. The extend stop screw lets you shave up to 20 mm off the forward stroke after installation, and dual variable cushions keep the 317.7 kgf-class piston from slamming either cover.
In practice, budget about 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa and you can lift roughly 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - or about 159 kg at the raw rating. The stainless round barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod hold up against coolant mist and washdown far better than painted minis, a real advantage in food and packaging cells where condensation is constant.

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 | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 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.
Ejecting sealed cartons from a case sealer - 100 mm clears the chute and the 20 mm trim absorbs later changes of carton size.
Raising a stop blade in a warehouse transfer station, where about 79 kg of vertical capacity with a 2:1 margin covers the blade and bracket weight.
Pre-loading connectors under a small arbor press so the operator's manual stroke only finishes the crimp, cutting cycle effort.
Where the load calls for more than the 981 N a 50 mm bore delivers at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm model is the end of the MA line - no larger standard bore exists in the series. The 20 mm window is enough to compensate for tooling wear or compressible seals without reordering. Long 100 mm strokes pushing off-axis should be externally guided or fitted with an I or Y rod knuckle to keep rod bending in check, and the stop screw remains a stroke limit, never a load lock. FA flange and LB foot brackets cover mounting, while CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop onto the barrel thanks to the standard piston magnet.
Quick checklist
Double-acting with adjustable stroke and variable air cushion; 100 mm stroke, extend trimmable up to 20 mm; 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure; forces of 1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2181 N and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, 317.7 kgf theoretical maximum; 1/4 in ports; 30-800 mm/s speed.
FA flange and LB foot brackets are the standard mountings, with I and Y rod knuckles available for linkage work (the adjustable version carries no SDB option). Piston speed runs anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s, and the variable cushions at both ends let you soften the last few millimetres of travel at whatever speed you choose.
