The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X125-50S 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.
When a 125 mm stroke needs on-site shortening by up to 50 mm, this 40 mm bore MAJ does it through an external stop screw - no cylinder swap, no spacer kit. Double-acting air delivers 628.3 N forward and 527.8 N back at 0.5 MPa, rising to 879.6 N forward at 0.7 MPa. Plan on roughly 377 N of real working push at 0.5 MPa, roughly the force to hoist a 32 kg assembly vertically with a 2:1 reserve.
The riveted round-body build packs a 40 mm bore into a slim stainless envelope, easier to tuck into cramped machine frames than a profile cylinder of equal force. A magnet is built into the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel for position checks. Fixed anti-impact pads absorb end-of-stroke shock; for true adjustable cushioning AirTAC's MACJ is the related model to look at.

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.
Wood-furniture lines use the 50 mm window to set drilling depth per product changeover, trusting the stop screw for repeatable 628.3 N feed.
The cylinder swings an index gate clear of a filling carousel, with the magnet plus an EMSG switch proving the gate is fully open before bottles advance.
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder seats tote lids with about 377 N of usable push, and the stainless barrel copes with condensation near the chiller doors.
Force ladder: the 32 mm MAJ makes 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa and this 40 mm bore makes 628.3 N, so the choice hinges on whether your worst-case load passes about 400 N. The trim screw shortens extension only and acts as a hard stop - it will not lock the rod against drifting if supply air is cut, so design a separate means of holding the load. Pick FA flange or LB foot mounting, I or Y rod knuckles if the tool must pivot, and note the 1/8" port and M12x1.25 rod thread for plumbing. At 125 mm stroke, side loads should be carried by external guides, not the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628.3 N push, 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 879.6 N push. Maximum theoretical output at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. The bore is 40 mm, the rod 16 mm (M12x1.25 thread), the port 1/8", and the extend stroke trims within the ordered 50 mm window.
A stop screw mechanically limits rod extension anywhere inside the 50 mm window ordered. It shortens the stroke on site; it never extends beyond 125 mm and it does not brake or hold the piston, so a loaded rod will still sag if air is lost. Bumper pads at each end soften the residual impact.
