The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X50-30S 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.
Compact muscle with a trim range: this 50 mm stroke unit pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa and the external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm for mixed-product runs. A fixed anti-impact pad in the covers absorbs the landing, though it only decelerates; adjustable cushioning lives in the MACJ line, not here.
Construction is a stainless barrel rolled tight around aluminium covers with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod, a body that tolerates washdown and damp aisles. The magnet is factory-fitted on every piston, ready for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position feedback. Do the payload math once: about 377 N of working force at 0.5 MPa equals roughly 32 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 design 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. |
| -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.
Reworking the stop screw across the 30 mm window covers three pallet heights without swapping hardware, and 628 N at 0.5 MPa holds pallets square to the wave solderer.
The gate blocks totes at the pick face; the 30 mm trim sets clearance for the tote lip, and a CMSG switch on the standard magnet signals gate-closed to the WMS.
Microplate racks index into a washer with 527.8 N of pull-side control on retract, and the riveted stainless body wipes clean after spill cleanup.
Sizing check: the MAJ32 next size down delivers 402 N at 0.5 MPa, and the 25 mm bore tops out at 245.3 N, so this 40 mm barrel is the ceiling of the MA series. The 30 mm trim range covers three or four variant products on one fixture without re-plumbing. The stop screw sets the extend limit mechanically; it never locks the piston in place when pressure drops, so add a separate clamp if the load must stay put. FA and LB mounts plus I and Y rod knuckles handle most fixturing, and the magnet is already in the piston for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
Use 628.3 N of push and 527.8 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, or 879.6 N of push at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at a 1/8" port.
FA flange, LB foot, plus I and Y rod knuckles (adjustable models have no SDB option). The -30 window lets the external stop screw shorten the extend stroke by up to 30 mm; speed stays 30-800 mm/s across that range.
