The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ32X500-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm 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.
Framing machines and palletisers often need one cylinder that covers several product sizes, which is exactly the MAJ32X500-20S case: a 500 mm base stroke with a 20 mm on-site trim via the external stop screw. Air works both directions - 402 N out, 346 N back at 0.5 MPa.
Mounting flexibility is a quiet strength here: an FA flange pins the front cover, an LB foot bolts beneath it, and I or Y rod knuckles absorb small misalignment on swinging links. The magnet is built in as standard, so a CMSG or DMSG switch signals the trimmed end without any piston change. At 0.5 MPa the 402 N rating covers about 241 N of continuous work once a sensible margin is applied.

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 | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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.
Before shrink-wrapping, 402 N at 0.5 MPa squares a carton layer on the pallet; the 20 mm trim absorbs slightly undersized layers.
It pins a glue flap square while the case folds, then retracts with 346 N of pull to clear the next blank.
Clamping jigs beside a weld torch see spatter and heat - the stainless barrel and chrome rod hold up better there than painted units.
This 32 mm bore bridges the 25 mm MAJ (about 245 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 40 mm MAJ (near 628 N), so it fits mid-weight slides and gates. Remember the adjuster is an end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock - if air fails, a loaded piston will still move. For the full 500 mm travel, support any side load externally to protect the 12 mm hard-chrome rod from bending. Ports on this bore are 1/8 PT, and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa push climbs to 563 N, and the theoretical ceiling is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Choose FA flange, LB foot, or an I or Y rod knuckle. The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke within the ordered 20 mm window; it cannot extend travel beyond 500 mm, and it is not a position lock if air pressure is lost.
