The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X125-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A workhorse mid-range mover, the MAJ40X125-20S is a double-acting bore 40 mini cylinder whose extend stroke can be shortened up to 20 mm on site with the external stop screw. Rated 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it leaves about 377 N for real work at that pressure - close to lifting 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without any special piston.
The riveted stainless round body shrugs off splashes and humid shop air that pit painted minis, and the 16 mm hard-chrome rod (M12x1.25 male thread) keeps scoring at bay across 125 mm of travel. Bumper pads are fixed, 1/8" ports feed the air, and the cylinder runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.

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. |
| ×125 | 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.
Swing a stainless diverter gate between two filler lanes; 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa snaps the gate across in one fast 125 mm move.
Close a clamp arm on brackets before a robot welds; 527.8 N of retract force at 0.5 MPa holds the arm seated while the torch passes.
Push product trays into a thermoforming chain; the 20 mm trim window lets you match travel to shallow trays without swapping the cylinder.
Downsizing to a 32 mm MAJ saves space but drops you to 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; this 40 mm bore is the largest the MA series makes. The stop screw ends the extend stroke early - it will not hold a load if air is lost, so fit a locking valve when the rod must stay put. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, bolt on I or Y knuckles for pivoting loads, and rely on the standard magnet for position switching.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it develops 628.3 N on extend and 527.8 N on retract; at 0.7 MPa those figures reach 879.6 N and 738.9 N. The theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Every MAJ cylinder leaves the factory with a magnet in the piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap onto the barrel and read extend or retract position straight away - no magnet-free piston to specify.
