The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X180-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 180mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Long reach and fine trimming meet in the MAJ40X180-10S, a double-acting 40 mm mini cylinder whose extend stroke can be dialed down 10 mm with an external stop screw. Force output is the strongest in the MA series: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with 128.1 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. In practice that means it lifts about 32 kg vertically even with a 2:1 safety margin factored in.
The riveted round barrel is stainless steel, matched to a hard-chrome plated rod, so spray, condensation and outdoor weather cause far less trouble than on painted mini cylinders. Every unit leaves the factory with a built-in magnet, so position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches needs no special-order piston, and fixed bumper pads take the sting out of stroke ends. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); speed 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.

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×180 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
Pushes off-spec packs off the belt with 628 N to spare at 0.5 MPa, while the stainless body copes with daily hose-down hygiene routines.
The 10 mm trim window lets commissioning engineers dial in exact seating of the drawbar pin without shimming the bracket.
Stops cartons with force equivalent to lifting about 32 kg vertically, position fed back through a DMSG switch on the standard magnet.
Bore 40 already sits at the top of the MA range, so step down to the MAJ32 (402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa) when the duty is light rather than oversizing on force. The 10 mm trim window suits a fixed end-of-travel target that may need a few millimetres of on-site correction, such as seating a part against a gauge. FA flange and LB foot mounts are available, with I or Y knuckles for swivelling tooling. Over a 180 mm stroke, keep the 16 mm rod free of side load or support the load on external guides.
The stop screw fixes the extend end position only; it will not hold the piston against a lost air supply and it is not a brake. For tunable cushioning at stroke ends rather than fixed bumpers, compare the MACJ variant.
Quick checklist
Push is 628.3 N and pull 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa push is 879.6 N and pull 738.9 N. Theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports on this 40 mm bore are 1/8", rod 16 mm with an M12x1.25 male thread.
No. The magnet is standard equipment in every MA-series cylinder, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel without a special piston or waiting for a custom build.
