The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X125-40S 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.
The widest window in the bore 20 range - 40 mm - makes the MAJ20X125-40S the flexible pick for prototype cells and jigs that get re-purposed between projects; the stop screw sets any extend position from 85 mm to the full 125 mm. Double acting as standard, it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, cycling 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, with the position magnet already fitted for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
The build is a compact riveted round body: stainless barrel rolled into aluminium covers with a stainless block, plus a 20 um hard-chrome rod that resists corrosion in damp, food-wash or outdoor locations where painted minis rust. Fixed anti-impact pads cushion both stroke ends, though the deceleration is not adjustable, and nothing here locks the load - on air loss the piston still drifts. Plan on about 94 N of dependable working force at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift roughly 8 kg vertically with margin.

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.

| 0.5 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.
Test rigs that change geometry weekly; the 40 mm window is re-set between builds without new hardware, backed by 157 N at 0.5 MPa.
Pushing packed cartons from an accumulation table into a lane; 157 N at 0.5 MPa moves light cases reliably across the 30-800 mm/s range.
Rest pads or lift-assist posts under irregular castings, where the stop screw sets support height per part family.
With 40 mm of trim one cylinder can replace several fixed-stroke units on a changing line. Neighbouring bores for reference: 16 mm gives 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, 25 mm gives 245.3 N. Fit FA flange or LB foot mounts and I or Y rod knuckles as the fixture demands; the magnet is standard, so no special-order piston is needed to run switches. Over a 125 mm stroke keep the 8 mm rod out of side loading - guide the load externally or the thin rod will deflect.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 157 N push, 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N push, 184.7 N pull. Maximum theoretical output of the 20 mm bore is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Keep continuous duty near 94 N at 0.5 MPa.
Anywhere within the ordered 40 mm window: the external stop screw sets end of extend between 85 mm and the full 125 mm, and retraction stays full stroke. It is a mechanical stop, not a brake - support any suspended load independently because the rod drifts when air is lost.
