The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X250-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm 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.
For clamping and press stations that need serious force in a compact round body, the MACJ63X250-30S produces 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa, topping out at a theoretical 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on site, and variable air cushions at both ends keep arrivals smooth across the 30-800 mm/s speed band.
Because the barrel is stainless and the rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plate, this cylinder tolerates washdown corners and humid air that ruin painted-steel minis. The magnet comes built in, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop straight onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling. In practice, budget about 935 N of push for the actual task at 0.5 MPa - a figure that corresponds to hoisting close to 79 kg vertically with margin to spare.

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.
Presses bushings into housings with up to 2181 N at 0.7 MPa; the 30 mm window resets the press-off point after die changes.
Kicks heavy totes off storage shelving on a long 250 mm push; both-end cushions keep the ejector quiet at traverse rates up to 800 mm/s.
Cycles test articles at programmed loads; the stainless barrel and chrome rod stand up to the coolant mist around life-test benches.
If the 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa of a 50 mm MA cylinder already covers the load, step down and save compressed air; once you are near the 1557.9 N this bore produces, stay at 63 mm because the series ends here. Long strokes punish poor alignment, so let guideways absorb lateral thrust rather than the rod. Choose FA (flange) or LB (foot) mounting, with I or Y knuckles for swinging loads. Running envelope: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-800 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um. And remember the adjuster sets an extend endpoint - drop the air and the piston coasts.
Quick checklist
Push is 1557.9 N and pull 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull. Maximum theoretical force is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke is field-trimmable across a 30 mm window, the rod is 16 mm with an M14x1.5 male thread, and ports are 1/4 inch (PT blank, G or NPT on order).
Every MACJ ships with a magnet in the piston as standard equipment. AirTAC's CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip onto the stainless barrel to signal extend and retract positions - no special-order piston, no extra magnet kit. That makes mid-line part-presence checks straightforward along the full 250 mm stroke.
