The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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.
Fine positioning, not wide changeovers, is what the 10 mm window on this MACJ63X160-10S is for: once mounted, the extend stroke can be shaved by up to 10 mm to hit a seating point exactly. The 63 mm bore still delivers 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa, double-acting, with a variable cushion at both ends to land the load quietly.
AirTAC rolls the aluminium covers onto a stainless barrel and hard-chrome plates the 16 mm rod, so humid workshops and rinse-down zones are fine territory for this mini. Speed spans 30-800 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Converted to lifting terms, 0.5 MPa equals about 158 kg of vertical push; keep roughly 79 kg as the practical payload with a 2:1 margin and the cylinder always holds reserve.

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.
Positions a hot-melt glue head onto carton seams; the 10 mm window sets exact nozzle contact depth after install, and 1557.9 N holds the head firm.
Seats bearings into housings on a small assembly press; trim the last 10 mm so seating depth matches each housing batch without retooling.
Compresses test springs in a QA fixture to a fixed landing point; the cushion gives a soft stop so the force gauge reads true every cycle.
Against neighbours: the 50 mm bore pushes 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa and may be enough if working loads sit near 590 N; this 63 mm unit keeps 1557.9 N in hand for stiffer jobs, and no bigger MA bore exists. The tight 10 mm window fits final-trim tweaks such as seating a part a few mm deeper, not broad changeovers. FA flange and LB foot mounts, plus I/Y knuckles, cover the fixings. On a 160 mm stroke avoid rod side load and add a linear guide if the load cannot run true. The stop screw defines the landing point only - for load holding, close a valve, because the rod can still move on air loss.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 1557.9 N extend, 1457.4 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 2181.0 N extend, 2040.3 N retract. Maximum theoretical output is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 63 mm, ports are 1/4", the rod is 16 mm with M14x1.5 male thread, and the extend stroke trims within a 10 mm window.
Both come as standard. The piston magnet works with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-position signalling, and the variable air cushion at each end is set by screw, damping the final travel at speeds up to 800 mm/s. Mount on an FA flange or LB foot, with I or Y rod knuckles where the load needs articulation.
