The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X400-30S 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.
A 30 mm trim window makes this bore 40 MAJ easy to dial in: fit the cylinder, run the machine, then shorten the 400 mm extend stroke from outside the barrel with the stop screw until the part lands exactly where it should. Double acting throughout, with fixed bumper pads taking the sting out of each end position.
Force-wise it is the top of the mini class: 628 N forward and 528 N back at 0.5 MPa, reaching 880 N on the extend side at 0.7 MPa. Set your tooling loads around 377 N to keep a comfortable reserve, or read it as a vertical lift of about 32 kg at a 2:1 margin. The rolled stainless body and hard-chrome rod resist washdown chemicals, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches anywhere along the tube.

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.

| ×400 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Raising 25 kg trays of rolls onto a cooling rack - comfortably inside the roughly 32 kg vertical lift this rod manages with a 2:1 margin.
Setting dip-tube height on a sauce filling head; the 30 mm window covers recipe changes without unbolting the mount.
Pushing a full layer of cans from the pallet onto the layer pad in one smooth 400 mm pass, cycle after cycle at up to 800 mm/s.
The same job on a bore 25 cylinder would only see 245 N at 0.5 MPa, so step down only if your load sits under roughly 150 N after margin; bore 40 is the ceiling of the MA family, and heavier pushes call for a larger series. Keep the 400 mm travel straight - side loads belong on external guides, not on the Dia 16 rod. Choose FA flange or LB foot mounting, with I or Y rod knuckles for pivoting links. The adjuster stops the extend stroke mechanically and will not hold a load if air pressure drops.
Quick checklist
Bore 40 delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 879.6 N and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical peak is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Connect via the 1/8" port and M12x1.25 rod thread, and run between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The fixed pad at each end simply decelerates the piston for a quieter stop; it is not adjustable. If your machine needs tunable cushioning, the MACJ series adds that. Here the stop screw's only job is trimming the extend stroke within the ordered 30 mm window.
