The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X160-30S 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.
At the top of AirTAC's MA mini family, this 63 mm bore turns a compact stainless barrel into 1557.9 N of push at 0.5 MPa without the bulk bigger machines demand. Double-acting throughout, it takes air on both piston faces and trims the extend stroke anywhere within a 30 mm window via an external stop screw, while the variable cushion at each end tames landings from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Construction is rolling-packed: a stainless tube gripped by riveted aluminium covers and a stainless block, standing up to the damp and washdown that corrode painted minis. Matched to real parts, the 0.5 MPa push lifts about 159 kg vertically, so a 60 kg die component clears with margin. The magnet ships already in the piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop on - nothing to special-order. Pressure window 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).

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.
Set to 135 mm, the gate clears incoming crates then shoves them home on the stack with 1558 N of push.
Forms lock tabs on duct elbows at 0.7 MPa, the 30 mm window re-set as elbow size changes.
Provides a repeatable zero stop on a machine-vision checking station, with an EMSG switch confirming retract.
If your load sits under about 980 N at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore (981.3 N push) will do it cheaper; above that, this 63 mm barrel is the biggest the series builds. Treat the adjuster as a stroke-length setting rather than a brake - when air goes, the piston coasts - so use pilot-checked valves or a hard stop where a suspended load must stay. FA flange and LB foot brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles cover the frame options, and the factory-fitted magnet picks up CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without ordering changes. Ports are 1/4" (PT standard, G or NPT optional) and the 16 mm rod ends in M14x1.5 male thread; with a 160 mm stroke, keep side thrust on external guides.
Quick checklist
Push 1557.9 N and pull 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa; push 2181.0 N and pull 2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed band 30-800 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 1/4" ports, extend stroke shortened by up to 30 mm from 160 mm via the external adjuster.
Ports are 1/4" as PT by default with G or NPT to order, and the 16 mm rod carries an M14x1.5 male thread. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, fit I or Y rod knuckles for pivoting loads, and note the adjustable version has no SDB or back-cover code. The magnet is factory-fitted for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
