The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X120-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm 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.
Need roughly 1560 N of push but a stroke you can still fine-tune? The MACJ63X120-20S is AirTAC's 63 mm adjustable mini cylinder: double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it trims its 120 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm via the external stop screw. At 0.5 MPa you get 1557.9 N forward and 1457.4 N on retract.
For vertical work, halve the 158 kgf push figure and you can lift about 79 kg with a 2:1 margin. The two-way piston seal stores grease between service intervals, cutting maintenance on long-running machines. Tuning the cushion at each end also lets you push cycle speed past the point where a plain bumper mini would start hammering its covers.

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.
Squares leaning cartons before sealing; the 20 mm window absorbs wrapper-to-wrapper spacing changes without re-machining brackets.
Presses sample trays down where washdown mist kills painted minis; the riveted stainless body keeps sealing after repeated hose-downs.
Culls off-spec packs at up to 800 mm/s; the variable cushion stops the 120 mm throw without banging the pusher head.
The next size down, the 50 mm bore, delivers 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa - if your load sits under about 590 N of real work, save air and money there. Above roughly 935 N of usable force, this 63 mm bore is the right call, since it is the largest the MA range offers. The adjuster holds position only while air holds; on pressure loss the piston drifts, so never rely on it as a brake under a suspended load.
FA flange or LB foot mounting plus optional I and Y rod knuckles cover most machine frames, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke confirmation. Ports are 1/4" on both covers.
Quick checklist
Push is 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa (2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa), pull is 1457.4 N (2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa), and theoretical peak is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), tolerates 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and travels 30-800 mm/s over a 120 mm stroke with a 20 mm trim window.
The stop screw sets where the extend stroke ends within the ordered 20 mm window - a mechanical limit you set once. The variable air cushion is a pneumatic damper at both ends that you tune to soften deceleration. One sets the position, the other protects it; neither locks the rod if air pressure is lost.
