The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X100-40S 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.
Where a repeat position shifts between batches, the MAJ20X100-40S answers with a 40 mm adjustable window on its extend stroke, set by the external stop screw without touching the air circuit. The 20 mm bore develops 157 N at 0.5 MPa going out and 131.9 N coming back, reaching 219.8 N and 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa; 32 kgf is the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa.
Keep steady loads near 94 N at 0.5 MPa - about 8 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - and the cylinder will hold that duty all shift. Its stainless barrel, riveted covers and 20 um hard-chrome plated rod resist corrosion in wet or dusty plants, and the built-in magnet means position feedback through CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches needs no add-ons or 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.

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 a nip roller onto labels on a semi-automatic labeller. The 40 mm window covers tall and short containers on one head, and roughly 94 N of working force gives even label pressure without crushing.
Positions an index stop on a pharmaceutical vial tray line, where switch feedback is required: the standard magnet drives a CMSG switch for stop-in-position confirmation, and the stainless build suits clean, frequently wiped surfaces.
Opens light vent panels on a commercial greenhouse. The chrome-plated rod and stainless tube stand up to irrigation spray and sun exposure, and the trimmed extend end keeps the panel from over-travelling in gusts.
With 157 N push at 0.5 MPa this bore doubles the 16 mm output of 100.5 N and stays under the 25 mm figure of 245.3 N - match it to loads up to about 94 N continuous. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot and add I or Y rod knuckles where the linkage needs articulation. For a 100 mm stroke keep side loads off the 8 mm rod or take them out on an external guide; the trim screw is an end stop, not a mid-stroke brake.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum for this 20 mm bore is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder operates on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), with rod speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
It cannot. The external screw only defines where the extend stroke ends within the 40 mm window; it is a mechanical stop, not a clamp. If pressure drops, the load can drive the 8 mm rod back, so add an external lock or a holding valve circuit wherever true position retention matters.
