The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X500-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 500mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a full 500 mm of travel and a 75 mm on-site trim window, this bore-40 MAJ brings adjustable-stroke control to long-run compact stations. Air works both directions, and the external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered 75 mm range - it trims, it never lengthens past 500 mm. At 0.5 MPa the piston pushes 628 N (pulls 528 N); at 0.7 MPa that climbs to 880 N push. Plan real work around roughly 377 N per cycle so the drive keeps margin.
The riveted round body pairs a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod, an easy-to-clean build for damp food or outdoor lines where painted mini cylinders corrode. A fixed anti-impact pad softens each stroke end - it decelerates only, it is not an adjustable air cushion (that is the MACJ family). Every unit ships with the magnet built in, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches snap on without special ordering.

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.

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.
Trims the extend stroke down toward 425 mm where a shorter push clears a carton chute, delivering about 628 N to seat product at 0.5 MPa.
Moves stacked totes across a wide gap between stations; budget near 377 N of useful force so the 40 mm bore drives loads with margin left over.
Clip a CMSG switch to the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke confirmation while the bumper pad quiets impact at up to 800 mm/s.
Bores step down to 25 mm (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) and 32 mm (402 N) below; 40 mm at 628 N is the ceiling of the MA family, so there is no larger bore to upsize to. Speed 30-800 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Mount with FA flange or LB foot, plus I and Y rod knuckles; adjustable versions carry no SDB option. On air loss the stop screw only pins the set end of stroke - the piston still drifts, so add a valve if you need a mid-stroke hold. At 500 mm of stroke, guide the load or keep side thrust low to protect the 16 mm rod from bending.
Quick checklist
Push is 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 880 N and pull to 739 N. Theoretical peak is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke is adjustable within the ordered 75 mm window, so effective stroke can be set from 425 to 500 mm, with speed 30-800 mm/s and pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The magnet is built in as standard on every MA-series unit - CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches mount directly on the stainless barrel with no special-order piston. Mounting choices are FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available; adjustable-stroke versions do not offer SDB or a back-cover code. The port on this bore is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M12x1.25.
