The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X225-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Sixty-four kilograms: that is what the 40 mm bore of this AirTAC MAJ40X225-20S can lift vertically at 0.5 MPa (628 N of push). It is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke - the external stop screw sets the extend position anywhere within the ordered 20 mm window, shortening the stroke but never adding to it.
Unlike painted-steel minis, the stainless tube riveted to aluminium-alloy covers shrugs off humid, food-wash or outdoor air, and the 16 mm carbon-steel rod carries 20 um of hard chrome. Halve that lift for a 2:1 margin and you still raise about 32 kg of real payload per cycle. Fixed anti-impact pads soften both ends of travel, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches straight from stock.

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.

| 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.

Holds a self-adhesive label against 1 L paint tins for a fixed dwell as they roll beneath, using light contact force backed by 628 N of reserve.

Drop to a 32 mm MA (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is lighter; the MA range tops out at this 40 mm bore, so anything heavier calls for a larger family or twin cylinders. Pull force is 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, enough to retract a sprung fixture. Because the stop screw is an end stop rather than a mid-stroke lock, a de-energized cylinder can still be back-driven - do not count on it to hold a load in place. On a 225 mm stroke, minimize side load on the rod or add external guides for offset masses. Bolt it down with an FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y knuckles if the pull axis needs alignment, and note the magnet is standard so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches click on without a special-order piston.
Quick checklist
Push 628.3 N and pull 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; push 879.6 N and pull 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-800 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um. Port size is 1/8" on this 40 mm bore.
The high-precision stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers does not rely on paint or anodizing for corrosion protection, and the hard-chrome rod resists moisture and mild chemicals, so the MAJ40X225-20S survives damp food, beverage and outdoor duty that swells painted minis. The magnet comes standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors need no special order.
