Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-20S
The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-20S 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.

About the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-20S
A 63 mm bore is the strongest point in the MA mini family, and this one throws 1557.9 N (about 158 kgf) at 0.5 MPa from a round stainless barrel small enough for crowded machines. It is double-acting with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the stroke by up to 20 mm on site, and a variable air cushion at both ends soaks up heavy landings across the 30-800 mm/s speed band.
The barrel is stainless steel rolled directly onto riveted aluminium covers, so mild corrosion and washdown that kill painted minis leave this one alone. Run it on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, plan real work around 935 N at 0.5 MPa - about 60 percent of the push rating - and the seals and cushions will last for years.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-20S Is Used
EV gearbox bearing press
Trimmed to 145 mm, the ram enters the housing before pressing bearings home with 1557.9 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
Weld-fixture clamping
LB foot brackets clamp tractor-hitch brackets; the 20 mm window sets clamp depth for each fixture variant.
Foundry casting ejection
A DMSG switch proves full extend before the ejector kicks brass castings clear of the die.
Is the Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-20S the Right Cylinder?
The 50 mm bore reaches only 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa, so move up to this 63 mm size once loads push past that; 63 mm is the largest bore the MA series offers, so nothing sits above it. The stop screw sets the extend position mechanically - it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the rod still drifts if air is lost, so hold loads with a valve or external stop instead. Mount on an FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y knuckles for pivoting loads, and rely on the standard-built magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch signals. At a 160 mm stroke with this much force, guide side loads in external bushings and keep the 16 mm hard-chrome rod in pure thrust.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-20S FAQ
On 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air: 1557.9 N push and 1457.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Rod speed runs 30-800 mm/s, both ends are cushioned, and the extend stroke trims up to 20 mm below 160 mm through the stop screw. Ports are 1/4".
No. Every MA-series cylinder ships with the magnet built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight on for end-of-stroke detection. The variable air cushion at both ends is likewise fitted, tuned by adjusting screws rather than ordered as an extra.
