The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X50-50S 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.
With a -50 window on a 50 mm stroke, this MAJ40X50-50S hands the fitter complete authority over the extend position: the external stop screw shortens the stroke by any amount within that range, on the machine, with a wrench. Force class is the top of the MA mini line, 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, on a 16 mm hard-chrome rod inside a stainless barrel.
In vertical work the same 0.5 MPa push equates to about 64 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin this bore lifts roughly 32 kg of real part weight. The riveted round body stays compact on crowded benches, fixed bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke shock, and FA or LB mounting plus I and Y rod knuckles adapt to most frames.

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. |
| -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). |

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.
On a semi-auto liquid filler, the -50 window lets an operator trim the stop so each bottle crest sits level, batch after batch.
A crimp head driven across 50 mm, with the final approach shortened on site so the rivet bottoms out consistently.
Pressing nylon bushings into pump housings at a hand-fed fixture, where about 377 N of working force seats the part without damage.
Step sizing: bore 32 tops out at 402 N at 0.5 MPa, so pick it for lighter clamps, while this 40 mm bore is the ceiling of the MA series and heavier jobs belong on MACJ. For load arrest fit a valve or an external stop, because the adjuster only sets the extend position and the rod will sag if supply air is lost. The built-in magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for end-of-travel signals, and the 1/8" port suits common fittings.
Quick checklist
Expect 628.3 N forward and 527.8 N back at 0.5 MPa. Raise the pressure to 0.7 MPa and the figures become 879.6 N forward and 738.9 N back. Peak theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf, with pressure limits of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.
The -50 stop screw is a mechanical limit for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock or brake, so a lost air supply lets the piston drift with the load. Where holding matters, add a locking valve or an independent mechanical stop.
