The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ20X175-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Changeovers get simpler when the stroke follows the product: a stop screw on this double-acting cylinder shortens the 175 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm, giving a 155-175 mm working range you can reset in minutes without touching the air circuit. Bore 20 output reaches 157.0 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The stainless round tube and 8 mm hard-chrome rod stand up to damp food-plant air, while the riveted aluminium-alloy covers keep the footprint slim on crowded frames.
Plan around 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (60 percent of the 157 N figure), which corresponds to about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety factor - enough for lid weights, small castings or filled blister packs. Fixed bumper pads cushion both stroke ends with no cushion-screw setting to tune, and the standard built-in magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches signal position from day one.

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.

| 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.
Pushes filled blister cards off a thermoforming line into an outfeed chute, with the 20 mm trim matching the card stack height of each format.
Folds top flaps on a semi-automatic case packer; the trimmed stroke stops the tucker blade from bottoming out on shallow cartons.
Ejects small injection-molded clips from a gravity drop nest; about 8 kg of vertical lift capability with margin makes the drop reliable at cycling speed.
For context, a bore 16 MAJ offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and a bore 32 jumps to 402.2 N, so bore 20 with 157.0 N fits light mechanical work where compactness and speed matter more than raw force. Note that the adjuster works as an extend-stroke end stop, not a load-holding brake - should supply air fail the rod will drift, so support the payload independently. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I and Y rod knuckles cover most frame layouts, and any long payload should ride an external guide to keep bending loads off the rod.
Quick checklist
Push 157.0 N and pull 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa; push 219.8 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Rod speed range is 30-800 mm/s and supply pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um.
No - the MAJ carries fixed anti-impact bumper pads that simply decelerate the piston at each stroke end. If your station needs tunable air cushioning, the related MACJ series with adjustable cushions is the model to specify instead.
