The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X50-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Fine positioning on a short throw is what this build does best: 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa from the 40 mm bore, with the external stop screw shaving the extend stroke by up to 10 mm so fixtures can share one cylinder across small part variants. The piston lands on a fixed anti-impact bumper pad that decelerates at stroke end; it is a bumper, not a tunable air cushion like MACJ offers.
Underneath, a stainless round barrel is riveted to aluminium covers around a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod, standing up to washdown where painted minis rust. The magnet comes standard in every piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without a special piston order. Sizing math: plan for about 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift roughly 32 kg vertically once you hold 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.
| MAJ | Standard round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
Shaving the extend stroke up to 10 mm sets a kiss-stop depth for pressing bronze bushings, and the 628 N push at 0.5 MPa seats them without distorting the housing.
A short swing arm holds PCB carriers in front of the camera; the built-in magnet and a DMSG switch confirm the gate is fully home every cycle.
Terminal clips crimp in one hit with 879.6 N available at 0.7 MPa; the 10 mm window lets operators back the stop off slightly for thicker bundle sizes.
Both directions matter here: pull force is 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa against a 628.3 N push, so retract-side loads get less muscle. Step down to a MAJ32 (402 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load is light; nothing in the MA range tops the 40 mm bore. The 10 mm window suits fine positioning where the final approach must land short of full stroke. Remember the external stop only trims the extend stroke and it holds nothing if air is lost. Pair LB feet with an I or Y knuckle for pivoting loads; the built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches out of the box.
Quick checklist
Expect 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a 128.1 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) through the 1/8" port.
No. Every MA-series piston ships with the magnet built in, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip onto the stainless barrel without a special order. The hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod also resists corrosion in washdown cells.
