The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X225-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm 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 on-site stroke adjustment make the MACJ63X225-20S a fit when the end position will be settled during commissioning. Double-acting air pushes 1558 N at extend and 1457 N at retract at 0.5 MPa, with the variable cushion at both ends smoothing stops at up to 800 mm/s. The stainless round barrel, rolled aluminium-alloy covers and hard-chrome plated rod handle washdown and humidity that would pit painted-steel competitors.
Size for about 935 N of true working force at 0.5 MPa, translating to roughly 79 kg of vertical lift once a 2:1 margin is applied. Because the magnet ships built in, CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip on whenever end-of-stroke signalling is needed - no order options, no rework.

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.
Stopping and diverting loaded pallets draws on the 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 20 mm window adapts the throw to different pallet sizes.
Seating bronze bushings into pump bodies takes steady pressure; dual air cushions end each press without the bounce that could crack a housing.
Humid valve galleries corrode painted cylinders fast, so the stainless round barrel and chrome rod keep the gate cycling through damp seasons.
Bore 50 saves space at 981 N push at 0.5 MPa; nothing larger than the 63 mm bore here exists in this series. The adjustment is purely an extend-stroke end stop, so never rely on it to park a suspended load during a pressure loss. Fix by FA flange or LB foot, use I or Y knuckles on the rod side, and with 225 mm of stroke fit external guides if the load pushes sideways on the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
Yes. The variable air cushion at both ends is set with regulating screws to decelerate the piston, so a 1558 N extend stroke can be stopped softly at speeds up to 800 mm/s without hammering the covers. The 20 mm window still lets you shorten the extend stroke during commissioning.
Push is 1557.9 N and pull 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it delivers 2181 N push and 2040 N pull, with 317.7 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the extend stroke is adjustable within the ordered 20 mm window.
