The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ25X500-40S 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.
A 500 mm stroke in a compact round body sets the MAJ25X500-40S apart: 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa, and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, all from a riveted stainless barrel that tolerates washdown and outdoor grit. The extend stroke shortens by up to 40 mm via the external stop screw.
Size the job at roughly 147 N of force at 0.5 MPa, close to 12 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety factor. Unlike painted-steel minis, the stainless tube and 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off moisture and cleaning chemicals. The magnet is built in at no extra option code, feeding CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the fixed bumper pads decelerate the piston at both ends of travel.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 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.
Lifts a vision camera head between inspection heights on a packaging line, staying within the 12 kg vertical-lift equivalent.
Swings a press-shop scrap chute gate open, using 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa and the 40 mm window to fine-tune the open position.
Pushes filled bags onto a takeaway belt at a bagging station, where the hard-chrome rod survives dusty, damp air.
Bore 25 standard strokes stop at 300 mm, so the 500 mm travel is a made-to-order item. For comparison, a 20 mm bore pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa and a 32 mm bore pushes 402.2 N - pick the size your real load needs rather than defaulting upward. The -40 window only limits the extend direction; it cannot lock the rod against drift when pressure is lost, so use a separate clamp to hold position. Mount with an FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y knuckle at the rod, and support long side loads with an external guide bushing.
Quick checklist
Expect 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical 50 kgf ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi); rod speed 30-800 mm/s; 10 mm rod with M10x1.25 male thread; 1/8" air ports.
FA flange and LB foot brackets, plus I or Y rod knuckles, cover most fixturing. The external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 40 mm window - it cannot add travel beyond the 500 mm base stroke. Bumper pads at each end are fixed, and since the rod drifts on air loss, a separate clamp is needed to hold position.
