The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X120-50S 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.
Compact pushing power for tight panels: the AirTAC MAJ20X120-50S pairs a 20 mm bore with 120 mm of travel and a 50 mm extend-stroke trim range. Because the stop screw sits outside the body, operators re-set the stroke with a wrench in minutes, and the riveted round barrel keeps the whole unit slim. It runs double-acting on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) between 30-800 mm/s.
Expect 157 N of push and 132 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 220 N and 185 N at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical top for this bore is 32 kgf. Halved for a 2:1 margin, that means it lifts about 8 kg vertically - enough to raise small chutes, guards or sensor arms. The fixed bumper pads soften stroke-end impact through deceleration alone; adjustable air cushioning belongs to the MACJ family, not this model.

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.

| 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.
The 50 mm window raises and lowers a hot-glue head between two carton sizes; 157 N at 0.5 MPa keeps the head seated against nozzle pressure.
On a jig drilling aluminium extrusions, the stop screw sets drilling depth across the 50 mm range, and the hard-chrome rod resists chip and coolant attack.
A coffee-packaging hopper gate opens reliably at roughly 94 N of working force, and the stainless round barrel washes down cleanly between batches.
Compare before you buy: the 16 mm bore offers 100 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter gates, while the 25 mm bore steps up to 245 N when the load grows. Since the adjuster is a hard stop rather than a lock, never rely on it to keep a load from falling when the air fails. FA flange and LB foot mountings, plus I and Y rod knuckles, cover most fixture needs, and the built-in magnet means CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches ship ready to clip on without a special-order piston.
Quick checklist
Supply filtered air between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed held in the 30-800 mm/s band. This 20 mm bore then yields 157 N push and 132 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 220 N push and 185 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf - plan real workloads near 94 N for long service life.
Yes. The barrel is stainless steel and the 8 mm piston rod is hard-chrome plated to about 20 um, so the cylinder resists mild corrosion and rinse-down far better than painted-steel minis. The aluminium covers are riveted and rolled onto the tube for a sealed body, and the standard magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches sense end positions even after washing.
