The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X20-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 20mm 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.
Twenty millimetres of travel, all of it trimmable: the MACJ63X20-20S puts 63 mm of bore behind a heavy short-throw job and lets you shave the extend stroke on site within the ordered 20 mm window. Double-acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it pushes 1558 N at 0.5 MPa and runs 30-800 mm/s.
A short, fat cylinder like this suits tamping and ejecting where every newton counts but travel is tight. The cushion dial-out absorbs the strike so stamps and fixtures last longer. Remember the stop screw is a stroke limiter, not a brake - on air loss the piston still drifts, so pin critical loads mechanically. In lift terms, the 1558 N push equals about 158 kg vertical at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 79 kg once you keep a 2:1 margin.

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.
Drives a tamp pad that presses labels onto kraft cartons at the end of a conveyor; the 20 mm trim window lets operators tune contact depth by hand.
Kicks hot brass stampings out of a forming die; 1558 N of push at 0.5 MPa clears parts that a bore 40 cylinder (628 N) stalls on.
Presses a fixed volume of paste from a lab dosing head; the cushion prevents the ram from shocking the glass barrel at stroke end.
For comparison, a bore 25 cylinder manages only 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, a sixth of this barrel's 1558 N, so heavy tamps and ejectors belong here. If you later need more throw, the MACJ63X200-20S shares the same force class with 200 mm of travel. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot and add an I or Y rod knuckle where the load pivots; the magnet is fitted from the factory, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches need no extras. Pressure range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Quick checklist
Push is 1558 N and pull 1457 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa those become 2181 N and 2040 N. Theoretical peak output at 1.0 MPa is 317.7 kgf. Plan usable work around 935 N so the cylinder keeps a healthy margin at typical plant pressure.
The round barrel is high-precision stainless steel with a 20 um hard-chrome plated rod, so coolant splash, coastal humidity and outdoor rain do not flake coating into product the way they would on coated mini cylinders.
