The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X250-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
250 mm of travel plus a 100 mm on-site trim window makes the MAJ40X250-100S a fit for lifting and gate jobs where the exact end position is only known after installation. Double acting throughout, it pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, which is about 64 kg of vertical lift capability, or roughly 32 kg once you plan with a 2:1 margin.
AirTAC rolls the stainless barrel, aluminium-alloy covers and stainless block into one riveted round body, so the compact package has nothing to retorque after a season in a humid plant. The 16 mm rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, and the fixed bumper pads take the sting out of stroke ends without pretending to be an adjustable cushion - that role belongs to the MACJ series.

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. |
| ×250 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -100 | 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.
Raises an interlock gate 250 mm between pallet infeeds; the -100 window absorbs frame tolerance so the gate latches square without shimming.
Pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa to break the vacuum holding warm trays on the forming platen, then trims the eject height with the stop screw.
Lifts about 32 kg of fixtures vertically with a 2:1 margin when transferring cartons from a low infeed belt up to an elevated checkweigher.
Downsize to a 32 mm bore (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is under about 240 N of real work; stay at 40 mm for gates and lifters that approach the 628.3 N rating. The stop screw sets the extend end position only - it will not hold a mid-stroke load if air is lost, so fit a locking valve where that matters. On long 250 mm strokes, keep side loads off the 16 mm rod: guide the payload externally and check rod bending before ordering. FA flange and LB foot mounts, I or Y rod knuckles, no SDB code on this adjustable version.
Quick checklist
Figures for this 40 mm bore: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend end of the 250 mm stroke can be shortened by up to 100 mm using the external stop screw.
Stainless shrugs off the condensation and mild washdown that corrode painted minis over long travel, and the 16 mm rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um against scoring. Air is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof at 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the built-in magnet comes standard for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
