The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ25X160-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Stroke setting happens at the machine, not at order time: an external screw trims this MAJ25X160-40S extend stroke across a 40 mm window while retraction runs its full 160 mm under air power. At 0.5 MPa expect 245.3 N pushing and 206.1 N pulling; at 0.7 MPa the push climbs to 343.4 N.
Construction is the classic MA recipe - a riveted stainless round body, aluminium covers and a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod that resists scoring in dusty woodworking or grain-handling air. Because the stop screw is a mechanical end stop rather than a mid-stroke lock, the piston can drift if air pressure is lost, so clamp or support held loads separately. For sizing, treat about 147 N as practical output at 0.5 MPa and the actuator will ride through real-world pressure swings without stalling.

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 | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| 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.
The rod drives an eject pin that pushes cooled nylon caps from a pilot mold cavity; the 40 mm window lets molders set eject depth per cap height without swapping cylinders.
Rated near 25 kgf at 0.5 MPa, the bore raises a lightweight steel gate of about 12 kg with margin to spare; the stainless barrel shrugs off road dust and damp dock air.
A job shop uses the cylinder to pre-clamp sheet stock before a manual punch; 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa locks the sheet flat, and the LB foot anchors it to the bench.
Sizing check: a 20 mm MAJ yields 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa for gentler tasks, while the 32 mm version's 402.2 N suits heavier presses - the 25 mm bore and its 245.3 N fit this mid band. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting; I and Y knuckles handle rod-end articulation, and the adjustable series omits SDB.
Remember the stop screw fixes extend position only and will not arrest a drifting rod on air loss. Across 160 mm of stroke, keep the load guided so the 10 mm rod sees negligible side force.
Quick checklist
Push 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; push 343.4 N and pull 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
No - it is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston can drift on pressure loss. Mounting choices are the FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y knuckles available at the rod end.
