The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ25X500-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 500mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Double-acting and stroke-trimmable, the MAJ25X500-20S delivers 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa (343.4 N at 0.7 MPa) over a 500 mm stroke; a 20 mm stop-screw window shortens the extend stroke on site without swapping cylinders. Retraction pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa.
The high-precision stainless tube and hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resist washdown chemistry and mild outdoor exposure, an edge over painted aluminium minis. Budget about 147 N for the actual job at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed anti-impact pads decelerate the piston at each stroke end; for tunable air cushioning, AirTAC's MACJ is the related type.

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.

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

Slides sample racks between stations in laboratory automation, where the stainless barrel tolerates repeated wipe-down.
The 500 mm travel is above the 300 mm standard limit for bore 25, so order it as a non-standard build. Compare sizes by force: the 20 mm bore offers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter jobs, while the 32 mm bore reaches 402.2 N. The stop screw only caps the extend direction - it will not hold a load mid-stroke when air pressure drops, so add an external lock where that matters. The magnet comes standard, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches drop straight on. Mount via FA flange, LB foot, or an I or Y knuckle, and keep side load low on this long stroke with an external guide.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa; pull is 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. Rod speed runs 30-800 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply, proof tested at 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Rod is 10 mm with an M10x1.25 thread; air ports are 1/8".
No. The MAJ uses fixed anti-impact bumper pads that soften the piston's arrival at each stroke end; they decelerate but cannot be tuned. If you need adjustable air cushioning on an adjustable-stroke cylinder, look at the AirTAC MACJ series. Also note the stop screw trims the extend stroke only - it is not a mid-stroke brake.
