The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X160-20S 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.
At 160 mm of travel and Dia 40, this cylinder pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N at 0.5 MPa on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply - enough to lift about 32 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is taken from the 64 kgf theoretical figure. A stop screw on the rear cover shortens the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 20 mm window.
Fixed anti-impact pads cushion both ends of travel (deceleration only; true adjustable cushioning belongs to the MACJ type). Inside, a two-way seal stores grease for long life; outside, the riveted stainless tube and 20 um chrome-plated rod survive humid and lightly washed environments that corrode painted minis.

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. |
| ×160 | 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.
Folds tray flaps on a food packaging line; the 20 mm trim window soaks up flap-thickness variation between SKUs.
Raises loaded wire baskets between a wash tank and drain rail, sized for parts under about 32 kg with guides carrying the frame weight.
Advances a plug gauge into bored housings on a QC bench, with the stop screw fixing insertion depth per part number.
Pick bore 40 when a 25 mm MA (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) stalls under the load; at 628 N it will carry roughly 377 N of real work. The long 160 mm travel on a 16 mm rod means side loads belong on external guides, not the rod itself. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I / Y rod knuckles cover most fixturing; G or NPT threads swap for the standard PT, and the air port is 1/8". The adjuster fixes the end of stroke mechanically but is not a lock - if air fails, the piston can still creep back.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628 N extend, 528 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 880 N extend, 739 N retract. The theoretical ceiling is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air and cycle anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
The rolled stainless tube combined with a 20 um hard-chrome plated rod resists the corrosion that flakes painted minis in damp, food-wash or outdoor spots, and the riveted covers keep the round body sealed with no tie rods or extra hardware to service.
