The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X300-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Few minis reach this force class: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa, all from a 40 mm round body about as wide as its covers. The 40 mm adjustable window is the widest offered, letting maintenance teams re-tune the extend stroke repeatedly as tooling changes, across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) plant supply.
Riveted construction - stainless barrel, aluminium-alloy covers, stainless block - gives a slim, service-light body that stands up to humidity and washdown better than painted steel units, and the 20 um hard-chrome plating on the 16 mm rod resists scoring over long strokes. Do the arithmetic once: budget about 377 N for real work at 0.5 MPa, or trust the bore with roughly 32 kg of vertical lift on a 2:1 margin.

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.

| ×300 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | 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). |

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.
Ejecting heavy cartons off a corrugated packaging conveyor at up to 800 mm/s, with the 40 mm window absorbing tray-height changes between SKUs without cylinder swaps.
Bar-feeder gripper arms on a lathe cell exploit 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while DMSG switches on the standard magnet verify grip before each cycle starts.
Diverting totes between warehouse conveyor lanes, the stainless riveted barrel copes with unconditioned air in an unheated cross-dock, trimmed 40 mm to suit differing lane widths.
Against its stablemates, this bore roughly doubles the 20 mm size (157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) and sits a class above the 32 mm unit (402.2 N) - only the 40 mm size reaches 628.3 N, making it the top of the MA mini line, with MACJ available if adjustable cushioning is also required. The 300 mm stroke sits comfortably inside the 500 mm standard limit for this bore.
Use the external screw purely to set the end of extension; it is not a mid-stroke lock and offers no resistance to drifting when air fails. Fixture designers can pick FA flange or LB foot mounting, and side loads should be carried by external guideways over a stroke this long.
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 maximum 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, with 1/8" ports and an M12x1.25 rod thread on a 16 mm rod.
It carries fixed anti-impact bumper pads that decelerate the piston at each stroke end, which is different from the adjustable air cushioning found on the MAC family. The external stop screw sets where the extend stroke terminates within the 40 mm window; it cannot add stroke beyond the ordered 300 mm.
