The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X120-30S 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.
A double-acting round-body actuator with a tunable extend stroke, the AirTAC MAJ20X120-30S runs a 20 mm bore and 120 mm of travel. An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere inside a 30 mm window, so one cylinder can serve several product sizes without changing parts. Air operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed spans 30-800 mm/s, and fixed bumper pads take the sting out of stroke ends.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 157 N and pulls 132 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 220 N on the extend side, with a theoretical ceiling of 32 kgf. Kept to about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder holds a comfortable margin for long duty. The stainless barrel, hard-chrome 8 mm rod and riveted aluminium covers shrug off damp and washdown air better than painted minis, and the magnet fitted as standard drops a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch straight on.

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.

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.
A 30 mm trim window lets one MAJ20X120-30S kick off bottles of different heights on a filling line, with 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa clearing the lane every cycle.
On an electronics parts feeder, the stop screw sets the index position per tray size while the fixed bumper pads settle each part quietly at stroke end.
Roughly 94 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa holds lightweight lids on a lab sample dryer, and the stainless barrel tolerates the humid cabinet environment.
For stepping up, the 25 mm bore of the MAJ family delivers 245 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping down, the 16 mm bore manages 100 N, so this 20 mm model sits in the middle for light pusher and clamp work. Remember the stop screw limits extend position only - it is not a mid-stroke brake, and the rod will drift if air pressure is lost. Mounting choices are the FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available, and the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread suit standard fittings. At 120 mm of travel, keep side loads low and align the driven part with the rod axis to protect the bushing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 132 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 220 N push and 185 N pull. The theoretical maximum for this 20 mm bore is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s, it is best sized for about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa.
An external stop screw limits how far the rod extends, trimming the stroke anywhere within the ordered 30 mm window. It shortens the extend stroke only - it cannot add travel past the built-in 120 mm - and it acts as a mechanical end stop, not a position brake, so the piston can still drift if air is lost. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 rod thread take standard fittings.
