The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X50-40S 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.
A 40 mm stainless round barrel, a 16 mm hard-chrome plated rod and an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 40 mm window: the MAJ40X50-40S is the strongest bore in the AirTAC MA mini series, pushing 628 N at 0.5 MPa and 880 N at 0.7 MPa. Double-acting air drives both directions and the rolling-packed body keeps the envelope tight.
Unlike painted-steel minis, the riveted stainless tube and aluminium covers tolerate damp jigs and wash-adjacent stations without flaking. Plan on about 377 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa so the cylinder never sits at its ceiling. Fixed anti-impact pads soften stroke-end contact, and the standard built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches straight from stock.

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.

| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | 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.
A 50 mm stroke gate kicks misaligned 500 ml bottles off a beverage line; the -40 window lets technicians dial in the exact gate throw without swapping cylinders.
Clamping aluminium brackets at roughly 377 N of working force, with the extend stroke trimmed to match each fixture height.
Short ejection of pressed terminals from a stamping die, where the 16 mm rod and 628 N push clear parts in one stroke.
Compare both directions: bore 32 gives 402 N at 0.5 MPa and suits loads under roughly 240 N, while this 40 mm bore is the largest in the MA range, so jobs needing more than 628 N belong on the cushioned MACJ family. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop: it sets where the rod stops extending but will not lock it against drift when air pressure drops. Mount with FA flange or LB foot and add I or Y rod knuckles where the load pivots; air connects through a 1/8" port.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those climb to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), rod speed 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MAJ ships with the magnet built in as standard, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clamp onto the barrel and read position immediately.
