The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X100-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Trim the extend stroke of the MAJ20X100-20S anywhere within a 20 mm window using the stop screw on the head - no shimming and no re-ordering when the product size changes. This double-acting 20 mm bore mini delivers 157 N forward and 131.9 N back at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 219.8 N at 0.7 MPa and a 32 kgf theoretical maximum. Supply pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof.
Derate to about 94 N for steady work at 0.5 MPa; matched to real part weights, that is roughly 8 kg of vertical lift once a 2:1 reserve is kept. The rolled stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off splash and humidity, and every unit ships with its magnet built in, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount without a special-order piston.

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 | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Raises and lowers a light fill nozzle assembly over cosmetic bottles; the trimmed extend end sets the fill gap precisely, and the 8 kg vertical-lift class covers the head weight with margin.
Swings a divert flap on a small parcel or tote sorter. The 20 mm trim dials in flap travel so parcels land centred in the chute, while 157 N at 0.5 MPa moves the flap in well under a second at speed settings up to 800 mm/s.
Stops cartons at a case-packer infeed gate until the lane is clear. Fixed bumper pads absorb the carton-stop shock at the extend end, and the stainless body copes with adhesive and dust around the sealing station.
Compare candidates by thrust: the 16 mm bore makes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm makes 157 N, and the 25 mm makes 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm when the working load sits near 94 N with margin to spare. LB foot or FA flange mounting suits fixed jigs, and the magnet arrives fitted so switch-based sensing needs no options. Do not use the stop screw to hold loads mid-travel - it sets the end of stroke only, and a de-pressurized rod drifts.
Quick checklist
Use 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa as the baseline; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 219.8 N and the pull to 184.7 N. The theoretical peak for this bore at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
No - every MAJ20X100-20S ships with the piston magnet fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches clamp onto the stainless barrel and read end or intermediate positions immediately. The air ports on this 20 mm bore are 1/8".
