The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X175-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm 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 trimming is the point of the MACJ63X175-10S: a 10 mm adjustable window on a 175 mm stroke lets you dial in exact end position after installation, absorbing tolerance stack between fixture and cylinder. Double-acting with a variable cushion at each end, it turns a 0.5 MPa supply into 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull.
Construction follows AirTAC's MA recipe - a precision stainless round tube with aluminium covers rolled on, driving a 16 mm hard-chrome steel rod that survives washdown better than painted minis. For sizing, treat roughly 935 N as the honest working push at 0.5 MPa: about 158 kg of vertical lift, or 79 kg with a 2:1 margin. A magnet is standard in the piston, ready for CMSG or DMSG switches. Operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.

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.
Absorbing 5-10 mm of stack-up between robot frame and weld clamps without shimming - trim once, lock the screw, done.
Setting exact platen contact depth on a small test press; 0.7 MPa gives 2181.0 N for repeatable compression checks.
Kicking finished cartons off a conveyor with a 158 kg-class push, cushioned so the box does not crush against the stop.
Downstep to the 50 mm bore (981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if loads are light - 63 mm is the biggest bore this series offers. Choose FA or LB mounts, with I and Y knuckles for rod-end flexibility. The 10 mm stop screw trims the extend stroke only and never acts as a lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a pilot-operated check or hard stop where the load must hang. A long 175 mm stroke sees bending under side load - guide the load itself, not the rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 1557.9 N push, 1457.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 2181.0 N push, 2040.3 N pull. Theoretical maximum 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um, piston speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/4" ports and an M14x1.5 male rod thread.
The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm so you can set the exact end position on the machine - ideal for taking up tolerance stack. It shortens only; it cannot extend travel beyond 175 mm, and it is not a load-holding brake, so the rod still moves if air is lost. The variable cushion at both ends is a separate feature, tuned by its own screws.
