The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X400-50S 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.
The widest trim window in this size: with a -50 suffix, the 400 mm extend stroke of this bore 40 MAJ can be pulled back by up to 50 mm after installation, so one cylinder covers several jig variants. Air works the rod in both directions - fully double acting - and fixed bumper pads soften the ends.
Output tops the MA mini series at 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 880 N on extension at 0.7 MPa. Keep continuous loads near 377 N, or think of it as a vertical lift of about 32 kg at a 2:1 margin. The rolled stainless barrel with its hard-chrome rod handles humid, washed-down corners that eat painted minis, while the standard magnet lets CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches sense position anywhere on 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.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×400 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | 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.
Nudging pallets from an AGV onto a gravity roller lane; 628 N at 0.5 MPa moves a loaded 200 kg pallet on rollers with margin to spare.
Repositioning the product stop between SKUs on a wraparound labeller; the 50 mm window spans the whole size range with one cylinder.
Kicking cases from a main conveyor into a sortation lane; bumper pads keep the diverter quiet through 800 mm/s cycling.
Below roughly 240 N of working load a bore 32 unit (402 N at 0.5 MPa) will do the same job smaller; above 628 N you are outside the MA range. Fit FA flange or LB foot mounts, with I or Y knuckles for pivoting links. A 400 mm stroke wants external guidance for the load - never lean sideways on the Dia 16 rod. If the machine must hold position through an air drop, add a separate clamp or stop, because the trim screw only defines the extend limit.
Quick checklist
Expect 628.3 N forward and 527.8 N return at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa, 879.6 N forward and 738.9 N return; theoretical maximum 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke speed 30-800 mm/s, media air filtered to 40 um, temperatures -20 to +70 C, and the 1/8" port takes PT, G or NPT threads.
FA flange and LB foot are the standard mounts, and I or Y rod knuckles suit pivoting links - this adjustable version has no SDB option or back-cover code. For heavy side guidance over the 400 mm travel, fit external linear guides rather than loading the rod itself.
