About the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA20X250SCA
Reach without bulk: the MA20X250SCA stretches a 20 mm bore to 250 mm of travel inside a riveted stainless round body. Double acting throughout, it pushes 157.0 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, reaches 219.8 N on push at 0.7 MPa, and tops out at a theoretical 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with fixed anti-impact bumper pads at both stroke ends.
Buyer maths made simple: budget around 94 N for real work at 0.5 MPa, equivalent to hoisting roughly 16 kg vertically - halve that to 8 kg once you demand a 2:1 safety factor. Because the covers and block are rolled onto the tube, the long body stays sealed and corrosion-resistant in damp plants, and the standard magnet means CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount without special orders.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 0 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA20X250SCA Is Used
Pallet-sticker press
Print-and-apply heads need a steady 157 N advance over 250 mm to reach deep into a pallet face and seat the label.
Stack elevator in a feeder
Raises a 6 kg stack of blanks between hopper and press, staying comfortably inside the 8 kg vertical-lift margin.
Slide gate on a hopper
The 250 mm travel opens a full-width slide gate on a small powder hopper; a CMSG switch confirms the closed seat.
Is the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA20X250SCA the Right Cylinder?
If 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa overshoots your need, the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N in the same family; if it undershoots, the 25 mm bore lifts the push to 245.3 N. A 250 mm stroke deserves a straight, side-load-free path - add external guides or an SDB pivot bracket and keep the 8 mm rod in pure tension or compression. When the valve centres, the piston simply drifts; bumpers are not brakes, so specify a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put. Ports are 1/8", rod thread M8x1.25, and the CA pivot eye pairs with FA flange or LB foot mounts.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Bumper models: keep speed within the rated range.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA20X250SCA FAQ
157.0 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, -20 to +70 C, double acting with fixed bumpers, 1/8" port, M8x1.25 rod thread.
No - every MA cylinder leaves the factory with the piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches clamp onto the stainless barrel at any point along the 250 mm stroke for end or mid-position detection.
