The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X100-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a -20 ordering suffix, this MAJ40X100-20S carries an external stop screw that trims up to 20 mm off the 100 mm extend stroke after installation. Double-acting output reaches 628 N pushing at 0.5 MPa, with 528 N on the return stroke.
Construction is a rolled stainless barrel with aluminium end covers and a hard-chrome plated rod, so mild washdown or outdoor exposure will not flake paint or pit the tube the way painted minis suffer. Real-world budgeting: work with about 377 N at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 628 N nameplate. Magnetic position feedback is built in as standard - CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap straight on.

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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | 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.
628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa raises tray stacks, and the 20 mm window calibrates home position so trays clear the guides cleanly.
Adjustable 20 mm top-of-stroke trim plus built-in magnet with EMSG sensing gives repeatable carousel detent positions in stainless-friendly labs.
The stainless barrel tolerates humid glue lines, and fixed bumper pads keep flap tucking quiet at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Forces between bores: the MAJ32X100 pushes 402 N at 0.5 MPa while this bore 40 manages 628 N - if your press or clamp needs more, step beyond the MA range to a larger cylinder. The 20 mm adjuster is a mechanical extension stop only; it never holds a load against air loss. Choose FA flange or LB foot for the body and I / Y knuckles on the rod side, and support any side load since the 100 mm stroke amplifies rod bending.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628 N push, 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 880 N push, 739 N pull. Theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf. Pressure range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/8" ports on this 40 mm bore.
No. The 20 mm external adjuster stops the extend stroke mechanically at its set point; it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston drifts if air pressure is lost. For held positions, pair the cylinder with a locking valve or external mechanical latch. The magnet itself is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches report position.
