The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X125-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Many recipes, one cylinder: with a 100 mm extend-stroke window, the AirTAC MAJ20X125-100S can be re-set for a wide family of part heights without swapping actuators. The 20 mm bore, 125 mm stroke body is double-acting, runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and moves at 30-800 mm/s, with fixed bumper pads easing every stop.
Force output is 157 N push and 132 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 220 N and 185 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 32 kgf. Divide the push force by gravity and you get roughly 16 kg of vertical capability, about 8 kg once a 2:1 safety margin is applied. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way seal keeps grease in the cylinder, cutting breakaway friction through long, frequently re-adjusted service.

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.
Parts leaving a small CNC bar feeder are pushed clear with 157 N at 0.5 MPa; the wide 100 mm window adapts to different stock lengths between setups.
A bakery tray-oven loading gate opens and closes through the trimmed stroke, and the fixed bumper pads stop the gate gently at each end of a hot, floury cell.
Used as a parcel divert stopper on a sortation conveyor, it presents about 94 N of dependable force at 0.5 MPa across a 125 mm approach.
The 100 mm window is the widest trim range in the MAJ adjustable line - step down to a 10 or 20 mm version when only fine positioning is needed, or up to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the 16 mm bore (100 N) is too weak for the job. Keep in mind the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only; if the air supply drops, the piston keeps moving freely, so add a separate check or lock for suspended loads. FA flange, LB foot and the I / Y rod knuckles mount the unit, while the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male thread keep plumbing simple.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore produces 157 N push and 132 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 220 N push and 185 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf. Supply air between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), keep speed in the 30-800 mm/s band, and plan workloads around 94 N at 0.5 MPa for a long service life.
Every MA-series cylinder ships with the magnet fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or Hall switches can be banded straight onto the stainless barrel to signal extend and retract positions. No special-order piston is needed, and because the switch rides the round tube it can also confirm each re-set position within the 100 mm trim window.
