The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X225-30S 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.
Changeovers get easier here: the external stop screw on this AirTAC MAJ40X225-30S trims the extend stroke anywhere inside a 30 mm window, so one cylinder covers several stop positions. The 40 mm bore is double-acting and converts 0.5 MPa of air into 628 N of push - 879.6 N if you run 0.7 MPa - across a 225 mm standard stroke.
The round body is a riveted stainless tube with aluminium-alloy covers, compact enough for tight machine frames and tough enough for damp or washed-down areas thanks to the 20 um hard-chrome rod. Sized for real work, plan on roughly 377 N at 0.5 MPa (a 2:1 margin) - enough to lift about 32 kg vertically. Fixed anti-impact pads ease the ends of travel, and the magnet is a standard fitment, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches need no engineering change.

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. |
| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Seats small pump-motor end bells onto stator stacks at an assembly cell, where the 30 mm window covers two housing heights without a cylinder change.
Drives folded instruction leaflets into pharmaceutical cartons ahead of glue flap closing, one cylinder per carton lane on the packaging machine.
Swings a chute gate to divert recycled PET flakes between two silo lines, cycling up to 800 mm/s whenever the line speed increases.
Compare the next size down - a 32 mm MA pushes 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa - before committing to this bore's 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull; the MA family stops at 40 mm, so heavier duty means a different series. Keep in mind the stop screw only sets the extend end position: it is a mechanical limit, not a mid-stroke clamp, and the rod will coast if air pressure drops. With 225 mm of travel, side loads on the 16 mm rod should be guided externally to protect the barrel and seals. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles for angled pull lines; the port is 1/8" and the rod thread M12x1.25.
Quick checklist
Figures: 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 maximum at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder accepts 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of filtered air, tolerates 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and moves 30-800 mm/s. Its 1/8" ports and M12x1.25 male rod thread suit standard fittings.
FA flange and LB foot bodies are both orderable, and I or Y rod knuckles handle pivoting pull loads; the adjustable-stroke version omits the SDB and back-cover mounting codes, so pick FA or LB when ordering. Because the magnet is built in as standard, CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount without modifying the piston.
