The AirTAC Airtac MACJ Stainless Steel Mini Adjustable Cylinder MACJ63X400-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 400mm 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.
Long reach with a soft finish: the MACJ63X400-20S drives a 400 mm extend stroke that can still be trimmed through a 20 mm window, double-acting in both directions with a variable air cushion at each end. The 63 mm bore tops the MA mini range at 1557.9 N push and 1457.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
Size the job around 935 N of working push at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 79 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. A long throw magnifies side loads, so the hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod and the stainless barrel it runs in earn their keep - keep thrust on the rod axis and guide the load externally. The magnet comes fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches read position with no options to order.

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.
Sweeps pallets across a 400 mm transfer stroke; 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa moves loaded dollies from a staging lane onto the take-away conveyor.
Opens a machine guard over 400 mm; the 20 mm trim window sets the exact open gap and the cushion stops the panel without a bang.
Ejects parcels into 400 mm-deep chutes at up to 800 mm/s, landing cushioned so labels and contents stay intact.
Stroke check: 400 mm is inside the 500 mm standard-stroke ceiling for 63 mm bores, so it ships as a standard part. If the load needs under about 590 N at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore (981.3 N push) does it cheaper. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); cycle 30-800 mm/s. On a throw this long, guide the load in external slides and keep thrust on the rod axis - side force bends the 16 mm rod. FA flange or LB foot mounting; I or Y knuckle for linkages. The 20 mm adjuster fixes the extend endpoint, but with air off the piston is not locked and a hanging load will drift it.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa expect 1557.9 N push and 1457.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull; ceiling 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air connects through a 1/4 inch port and the rod thread is M14x1.5.
Side forces on a long throw bend the 16 mm hard-chrome rod and wear the barrel, so mount with an FA flange or LB foot and run the load in external slides; the 1/4 inch port feeds enough air for 30-800 mm/s cycling.
