The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X250-30S 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.
The MAJ40X250-30S is AirTAC's largest-bore mini cylinder in the round MA family: a 40 mm double-acting unit whose extend stroke can be shortened by up to 30 mm with an external stop screw, no cylinder swap required. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N (about 64 kgf) and pulls 527.8 N, while the riveted stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod hold up in damp or washdown-prone corners that defeat painted housings.
Plan around roughly 377 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa to keep a comfortable margin, which translates to raising about 32 kg vertically at half the theoretical lift. A fixed anti-impact pad eases the piston into its end position, and the built-in magnet - standard on every MA - picks up CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without a special piston.

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.

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 cartons between conveyor lanes with 628 N at 0.5 MPa; the 30 mm stop-screw window lets line staff match the throw to lane width without ordering a new cylinder.
The stainless barrel shrugs off daily hose-down beside a dairy filler, raising about 32 kg of guard panel vertically with margin to spare.
Stops palletized parts at a vision-check station; the standard magnet and a DMSG switch confirm the stopped position on every cycle.
For this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm MAJ would drop push to 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, so stay at 40 mm once your load climbs past roughly 350 N. There is no larger bore in this series, so heavier duties call for a different AirTAC family. The 250 mm rod travels at 30-800 mm/s; guide the load externally so side forces stay off the 16 mm rod.
Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y rod knuckle for a pivoting joint, and note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop, not a brake - if air is lost, the rod can still drift.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N. The theoretical ceiling is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and rod speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere within 30 mm of the full 250 mm. It is a mechanical end stop only, so on air loss the rod can still creep, and the fixed bumper pad merely softens the landing rather than acting as an air cushion.
