The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ25X280-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 280mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Need a long reach that ends exactly where the machine does? The MAJ25X280-75S runs a 280 mm extend stroke that the external stop screw can cut back to 205 mm, anywhere in the ordered 75 mm window. Double-acting by design, it carries a magnet as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight on.
Bore 25 output: 245.3 N forward and 206.1 N back at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 50 kgf. Sized with margin, that is roughly 147 N of continuous work or a 12 kg vertical lift. Fixed anti-impact pads quiet the stroke ends - they decelerate only, unlike the adjustable air cushion you would find on the MACJ variant.

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.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×280 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -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.
Drives a 280 mm sliding guard or light shutter on a packaging machine; the stainless barrel tolerates daily wipe-downs in damp production halls.
Swings or pushes cases between conveyor branches; trim the extend stroke with the 75 mm stop screw after the lane geometry is proven.
Raises a small test fixture of about 12 kg vertically inside its 2:1 margin; the factory-fitted magnet feeds a CMSG switch for top-of-stroke detection.
For this class the choice runs from the bore 20 unit (157.0 N at 0.5 MPa) up to the bore 32 (402.2 N); 25 mm is the middle ground when your load sits near 100-150 N. Remember the adjuster shortens the extend stroke only and does not lock position against air loss - pair it with a check or locking valve if the load must stay put. FA flange and LB foot mounts are standard options, with I and Y knuckles for pivoting rod ends. Over 280 mm of travel, keep side loads off the 10 mm rod and guide the load in external bearings.
Quick checklist
Expect 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or Hall switches mount directly on the stainless barrel without ordering a special piston. Mounting choices are FA flange or LB foot.
