The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X120-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Travelling 120 mm instead of the typical 100 mm, this 40 mm bore MAJ covers deeper fixtures, and its external stop screw trims the extend stroke within a 30 mm window. At 0.5 MPa the bore generates 628 N pushing and 528 N pulling, rising to 880 N push on a 0.7 MPa supply.
Fixed anti-impact pads cushion both ends of travel without any adjustment, and the magnet built into the piston feeds CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches straight away. For vertical duty the rod lifts about 32 kg once the 628 N rating is halved for a 2:1 margin. The stainless round barrel and riveted aluminium covers keep moisture out of a compact body.

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 120 mm reach carries a camera head over long parts, with EMSG feedback confirming each stop position.
Around 377 N of working force swings parcels into side lanes, with the trim stop set to the lane offset.
Lifting about 32 kg vertically with margin, the rod raises the mandrel clamp between bends in humid shop air.
Compared with a 32 mm bore pushing about 402 N at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder carries roughly 56% more force, and no larger bore exists in the MA line - move to MACJ if you want cushions plus a wider tune range. Because the stop screw only sets the extend position, a dropped air line leaves the rod free to move; external clamping is required for load holding. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I and Y knuckles cover fixture needs, and on a 120 mm stroke keep the 16 mm rod clear of side thrust.
Quick checklist
Expect 628.3 N extend and 527.8 N retract at 0.5 MPa, or 879.6 N and 738.9 N respectively on 0.7 MPa. The theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa works out to 128.1 kgf. Pressure range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); travel speed 30-800 mm/s.
Pick an FA flange or an LB foot, and add an I or Y rod knuckle where the tool pivots; note that adjustable-stroke models offer no SDB or back-cover code. Air connects via 1/8" ports, the rod thread is M12x1.25, and working pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
