The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X125-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 125mm 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.
Among the 63 mm adjustable variants, the MACJ63X125-20S splits the difference: a full 125 mm travel with a 20 mm extend-stroke trim band, double-acting and cushioned at both ends. Expect 1557.9 N pushing at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N if you run the supply at 0.7 MPa.
AirTAC's rolling-packed body - stainless tube, hard-chrome rod, aluminium covers - suits damp plants that quickly eat painted minis. For a lifting axis, budget on about 79 kg vertical, the 158 kgf push figure halved for a 2:1 margin. If you later want the same bore with a fixed 125 mm stroke, look at the MAC series; for tooling on both rod sides, the double-rod MACD covers it.

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.
| MACJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
1557.9 N of push opens the sand column reliably; the end cushions absorb the gate slamming home at speed.
Presses connectors into DIN rails with about 935 N of usable force; the 20 mm window handles rail depth tolerance.
The 16 mm rod pushes the pawl home between dial moves; a DMSG switch confirms engagement to the controller.
Choose it over the 50 mm bore (981.3 N at 0.5 MPa) whenever your work figure clears roughly 935 N or you want cushion-tuned speed anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s. The -20 window trims the extend stroke only; retraction always runs the full 125 mm. Note the stop screw sets the end of travel but holds nothing: if the supply drops, the rod and its load coast, so fit a blocking valve where a raised load must stay put.
Magnet ships standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches, and FA flange or LB foot plus optional I and Y rod knuckles cover frame mounting - the adjustable series does not offer SDB.
Quick checklist
Push 1557.9 N and pull 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa; 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 317.7 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Operating band is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-800 mm/s, 125 mm stroke and a 20 mm adjustment band.
FA flange or LB foot bolts it to the frame, and I and Y rod knuckles handle pivoting linkages, though the adjustable series drops SDB. Feedback needs no ordering decision: the magnet is built into the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap onto the stainless barrel whenever the PLC needs a signal.
