The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ40X60-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
For packaging machinery that needs short, hard pushes, the MAJ40X60-40S packs a 40 mm bore into a rolled stainless tube as comfortable beside a rinse tank as inside a dry case-packer. The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on site, so tuning reach to a new carton size means a screwdriver, not a re-order, and the riveted aluminium covers keep the round body slim under machine guarding.
This bore pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 32 kg vertically once you take a 2:1 margin - match that against a filled jar, a small fixture or a gate leaf. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften arrival at both stroke ends, and the standard piston magnet drives CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for pack-confirmation signals.

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.

| -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). |

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.
Kicks filled cartons off a checkweigher conveyor; the built-in magnet feeds a CMSG switch that confirms full retract each cycle.
Snaps lids onto tubs with about 32 kg of vertical press margin at 0.5 MPa, final reach dialed in with the 40 mm stop screw.
Raises and lowers a fill-level sensor arm beside a syrup filler, where the stainless tube and chrome rod shrug off sticky overspray.
Against a bore 32 cylinder (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa), this 40 mm model gives roughly 55% more force in a body barely larger, and no bigger MA bore exists - this is the top of the range. Count the vertical case too: halving the 64 kgf theoretical lift leaves a comfortable 32 kg for real jars or fixtures. Both covers take 1/8" ports, and FA flange or LB foot mounts plus I and Y knuckles cover most frame designs. If the process must hold a retracted or mid position during a power loss, remember the adjuster is a travel stop, not a brake - the piston can move once pressure drops.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 40 mm piston gives 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N. The theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. For sizing, treat roughly 377 N at 0.5 MPa as the realistic working force after margin.
The MAJ pairs a stainless-steel round barrel with a 20 um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod and rolled aluminium covers, so splash, humidity and mild detergents that ruin painted minis are not a concern. Operating temperature spans -20 to +70 C, the media is air filtered to 40 um, and pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
