The AirTAC Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA25X100SCA is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 100mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 100 mm stroke on a 25 mm bore, this AirTAC MA series round-body mini cylinder pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi operating range) and retracts with 206.1 N, plenty for ejecting, clamping and lifting small parts on packaging and assembly machines. The rod is double-acting in both directions, and fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the stop at each end of travel, running smoothly from 30 to 800 mm/s. The riveted stainless-steel barrel shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown where painted minis would chip, and the CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis or rod knuckle directly for swinging linkages. A magnet comes built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight onto the barrel; with a 0.6 derating, size real work at about 147 N, and the bore lifts roughly 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.

| 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.

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).

The 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa folds and tucks cardboard flaps on a carton closer, while the CA pivot rear cover lets the cylinder swing with the flap arm.
Mounted alongside a rinse conveyor, the 100 mm stroke kicks off-spec bottles sideways into a reject chute, with the stainless barrel handling the wet zone.
The 206.1 N return force retracts the clamp platen clear of the jig, and the built-in magnet with a CMSG switch confirms release before the drill cycle starts.
Match the job to 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa: drop to a 20 mm bore (157 N push) for lighter sorting arms, or step up to 32 mm (402.2 N push) when the part weight climbs. Remember this cylinder drifts when air is removed, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a mid-stroke load must stay put. The CA pivot rear cover pairs naturally with the SDB pivot bracket or I and Y rod knuckles, and the 100 mm stroke on a 10 mm rod should be shielded from side loads to protect the hard-chrome plating. Every unit carries the standard magnet, so position sensing needs no special order.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa those rise to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and the double-acting rod travels at 30-800 mm/s.
The CA pivot back cover gives you a clevis-style pivot point out of the box, ideal for linkages that swing through an arc. Combine it with FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets on the body and I or Y rod knuckles on the 10 mm rod (M10x1.25 thread). Air ports are 1/8 inch, and the magnet fitted as standard accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or Hall switches.
