The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X400-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 400mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Long travel rarely needs every millimetre, so the MAJ40X400-100S pairs a 400 mm stroke with a generous 100 mm on-site trim window, all double-acting. The push is about 628 N at 0.5 MPa, which works out near 64 kg of theoretical vertical lift - plan on moving around 32 kg to keep a 2:1 margin.
Across 400 mm of travel, the stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod hold a straight, low-friction path where painted-steel minis would corrode, and the standard built-in magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report position anywhere along the run.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 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.
Trims the 400 mm feed by up to 100 mm so one cylinder serves both short stock and full bar cut-off.
Shuttles component trays in and out of a deep shelf rack; 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles a 20 kg loaded tray.
Opens a 400 mm access panel on a powder-coating booth, trimmed inside the 100 mm window to clear fixtures.
Dropping to a 32 mm bore saves space but caps push at about 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; this 40 mm bore is the ceiling of the MA series, so heavier thrust means leaving the family. Long strokes amplify side loads - guide the load externally or fit I/Y rod knuckles so the 16 mm rod is never asked to resist bending, and attach via FA flange or LB foot. The 100 mm stop is an extend-side end stop rather than a mid-travel brake: with air removed, the piston can still be pushed along its travel.
Quick checklist
Bore 40 mm, stroke 400 mm (well inside the 500 mm standard limit for this bore), extend stroke adjustable by up to 100 mm. Forces: 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. Air port is 1/8"; pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The screw is a travel limiter, not a brake. Cut the air and the piston still slides freely right up to the set stop, so anything carried on the rod needs its own mechanical support or latch where hold-in-place matters.
