The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X160-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The widest trim window in the MAJ line, 100 mm, belongs to the MAJ40X160-100S: the external stop screw cuts the 160 mm extend stroke down to 60 mm on site. Output is 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 128.1 kgf theoretical, with cycling anywhere between 30 and 800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air.
A vertically hung part of about 32 kg sits comfortably inside this cylinder once a 2:1 lift margin is applied to its 0.5 MPa push rating. The riveted stainless tube plus hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, the fixed anti-impact pads soften both ends of travel, and the magnet ships standard so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp on for free position feedback.

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.
Stops a roller pallet at a pick station; the 100 mm trim absorbs pick-station pitch changes without re-plumbing the air circuit.
Slides the cleanout door on a CNC chip conveyor, with the standard magnet confirming the closed position through a DMSG switch.
Raises a 30 kg nesting jig vertically at 0.5 MPa with margin in hand, guided by two side posts so the rod never sees lateral load.
Below this bore, the MAJ32X160-100S still manages 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; 40 mm is the ceiling of the MA bore range, so heavier jobs move up a series. Fit FA flange or LB foot hardware, or an I / Y rod knuckle where tooling demands it. Never count on the stop screw to arrest a load mid-travel or under air loss - it only limits the extend position, so design a separate restraint for vertical work. Long 160 mm travel plus any lateral shock call for external guiding.
Quick checklist
Yes: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 128.1 kgf theoretical peak force. The 160 mm extend stroke is trimmable across the ordered 100 mm window, down to a 60 mm extend, using the external stop screw.
No. Every MA-series cylinder leaves the factory with a piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or hall switches mount directly on the barrel body as standard accessories - no special-order piston or retrofit is needed.
