The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X175-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Double-acting with an on-site trim: an external stop screw on the MAJ40X175-20S shortens the 175 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm, so fitters can dial in the final position without swapping parts. This 40 mm bore pushes 628 N at 0.5 MPa and pulls 528 N, the strongest force class in the MA mini family. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
The round barrel is stainless steel, riveted to aluminium covers, so damp plants and light washdown do not chew through paint the way they do on steel-bodied minis. The hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod resists scoring at the gland. Work the cylinder near 377 N of real duty at 0.5 MPa and you hold a healthy 40 percent reserve over the rating.

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. |
| ×175 | 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.
Swinging product gates on a carton line: 628 N swings the gate briskly and the 20 mm window sets the closed position to suit each carton blank.
A small marking or snap press that needs 175 mm of approach plus a firm 20 mm-tunable end position on a stamped bracket.
With CMSG switches clipped to the standard magnet, the trimmed stop gives a repeatable signal point for PLC handshake on an assembly cell.
Size from the ends: a 32 mm bore gives 402 N at 0.5 MPa, fine under about 240 N of duty, while stepping to 40 mm at 628 N covers heavier gates and clamps. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for extend only; it is not a mid-stroke lock, so on air loss the rod can still drift. Choose FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y rod knuckles if the linkage needs them, and CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the standard magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M12x1.25.
Neither. The -20 stop screw only limits how far the rod extends, trimming up to 20 mm off the stroke. Cushioning comes from fixed anti-impact bumper pads that decelerate at the stroke end; they are not adjustable air cushions.
