The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X40-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A full-stroke 40 mm trim window makes the MAJ40X40-40S the most flexible short-stroke head in the 40 mm MA line: the external stop screw sets the extend travel anywhere within the ordered range. Push force is about 628 N at 0.5 MPa and 880 N at 0.7 MPa - enough for roughly 32 kg vertical lifts once a 2:1 margin is applied (628.3 N equals about 64 kgf of theoretical lift).
Fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften contact at both stroke ends; they decelerate the piston but are not adjustable air cushions - AirTAC's MACJ family is the one that adds cushioning to this concept. The rolled, riveted stainless barrel keeps the round body slim and easy to wipe down in wet areas.

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.

| 0.7 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.
Kicks mislabeled cartons off a cosmetics-line conveyor; the 40 mm window dials the throw to match belt speed.
The 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa draws a latch hook shut on a bench paint-curing oven in a humid shop.
Sets inking depth anywhere inside the 40 mm range so pads pick up an even film on an electronics workbench.
Against a 32 mm bore's 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder adds roughly half again the force in the same short-stroke class, and it is already the biggest bore in the MA range. If a reject pusher has to sit against a pack with air off, remember the trim screw only limits extend travel - it is not a lock, so fit an external latch where true holding is needed. FA flange, LB foot and I/Y knuckles cover most machine frames, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signals.
Quick checklist
Fixed pads at each stroke end absorb the piston's kinetic energy as it arrives, cutting noise and metal-to-metal shock. They decelerate only - they are not adjustable air cushions, and they provide no holding force anywhere in mid-travel.
Expect 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a 128.1 kgf theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air and keep speed between 30 and 800 mm/s.
