The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ25X250-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Stop screw travel of 30 mm makes this bore-25 unit a changeover-friendlier alternative to fixed-stroke minis: the MAJ25X250-30S is double acting, and one external screw pulls the extend stroke back to 220 mm from a full 250 mm without re-plumbing anything. At 0.5 MPa (72 psi) it delivers 245.3 N forward and 206.1 N returning, indexing small trays and carriers at 30 to 800 mm/s.
Lift check for buyers: 245.3 N converts to roughly 25 kg of vertical pull at 0.5 MPa, so holding lifts to about 12 kg keeps a 2:1 margin. The round, riveted body - stainless tube rolled onto aluminium covers with a stainless block - stays slim in tight frames, while the hard-chrome 10 mm rod and grease-retaining two-way piston seal ride out damp shop air. A magnet comes standard in every MA piston, so DMSG or EMSG switches clip on from stock.

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.

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.
Kicking cartons past a checkweigher flag on a case packer: the 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa moves light cartons briskly, and the 30 mm trim absorbs carton-size changes between 220 and 250 mm.
Clamping thin sheet in a drill jig - 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa holds thin stock firmly, and the standard piston magnet feeds a DMSG switch to prove clamped before cycle start.
Advancing a small shuttle table one station on an assembly bench, with stroke-end bumper pads absorbing the stop at both ends of each 250 mm move.
Run the sizing math against neighbours: MAJ20 manages 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa and MAJ32 reaches 402.2 N, so this 25 mm bore is the middle choice for medium loads. The 30 mm window is trim-only - it never lengthens the stroke past 250 mm, and the screw will not arrest a drifting rod when air fails, so fit an external stop where holding counts. FA flange and LB foot mounts suit most frames, with I and Y rod knuckles for pivoting joints. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M10x1.25; brace long workpieces at this 250 mm reach so bending loads stay off the rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (72 psi): 245.3 N push, 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa (101 psi): 343.4 N push, 288.5 N pull. Maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
Fixed anti-impact bumper pads, built into both covers of this MAJ. They decelerate the piston at the ends of travel but are not adjustable air cushions - if you need tunable cushioning, the MACJ adjustable-cushion family is the related type. The pads work the same whether the extend stroke sits at the full 250 mm or trimmed to 220 mm by the stop screw.
