The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X100-40S 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 40 mm bore, this MAJ delivers 628 N of push and 528 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 880 N at 0.7 MPa. Air drives the rod both ways, while an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 40 mm window, so one cylinder serves several jig depths.
The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome 16 mm rod resist corrosion in damp or washdown spots, and the riveted aluminium covers keep the body compact. A magnet comes built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp on without a special piston. For sizing, treat roughly 377 N as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa.

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.

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.
The 32 kg vertical-lift equivalent at a 2:1 margin suits raising a 25-30 kg guard or chute cover through a 100 mm stroke.
About 377 N of practical clamp force at 0.5 MPa holds steel parts in a milling fixture, with the stop screw dialing in the approach.
In washdown areas the stainless barrel shrugs off moisture while nudging cartons between conveyor lanes all shift long.
Downsizing to a 32 mm bore gives about 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if that margin is thin, this 40 mm bore and its 628 N are the strongest the MA range offers. The stop screw sets the extend position but is not a lock: with air lost the rod can still drift, so clamp or support the load separately. Pair it with an FA flange or LB foot, and add an I or Y rod knuckle where the tool must pivot. Keep side loads off the 16 mm rod or guide them externally to protect the bushing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N and pull to 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Working range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke to any position inside the ordered 40 mm window; it cannot lengthen travel past the 100 mm base stroke. The stop is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, and fixed bumper pads soften the arrival at each end.
