The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X120-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Stroke 120 mm, trim up to 20 mm: the MAJ20X120-20S fits transfers where the final approach must stop short of full extension. Double-acting air drives it out with 157 N (0.5 MPa) and retracts with 131.9 N, while fixed bumper pads calm both ends of travel at 30-800 mm/s.
Vertically that 157 N equals about 16 kgf theoretical; halve it and the rod lifts roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 margin - a clean match for small castings or loaded trays. Mount on LB feet or an FA flange, clamp a DMSG switch to the magnet-carrying barrel (the magnet ships standard), and take air in through the 1/8" port with PT, G or NPT threads 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 | 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.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×120 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -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 a 4 kg aluminium casting 120 mm on a gauge stand; the bore 20 force equals about 8 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin.
Wipes chips from a machine-tool conveyor; the hard-chrome plated rod stands up to constant coolant splash.
Stroke-trims a pilot linkage by up to 20 mm to match seat wear on a water treatment skid.
Force ladder for the MA family at 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N (bore 16), 157 N (this bore 20), 245.3 N (bore 25). Choose up if your fixture needs more than roughly 94 N of working effort at this stroke; drop to 16 mm if 100 N already covers it and you want a smaller envelope.
The 20 mm trim window suits final-approach tuning on 120 mm transfers. FA flange or LB foot mounting, I/Y rod knuckles, and magnet-standard switching (CMSG / DMSG / EMSG) complete the package. Remember the adjuster is a stroke end-stop, so a suspended load will sag if supply air is cut.
Quick checklist
Expect 157 N on extension and 131.9 N on retraction at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa, 219.8 N extend and 184.7 N retract. Theoretical maximum is 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No - MAJ cylinders carry fixed anti-impact bumper pads that decelerate the piston at each end of travel; they are not adjustable air cushions (that function belongs to the MACJ family). Mount the body via FA flange or LB feet and connect tooling with I or Y rod knuckles.
