The AirTAC Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA25X50SCA is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 50mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
This 25 mm bore MA cylinder with a 50 mm stroke and CA pivot back cover delivers 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (73 psi line), climbing to 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa (102 psi). The CA cover gives you a rear clevis-style pivot point straight from the factory, so the rod can swing through its arc on linkages without an added eye bracket. Air drives the piston in both directions - there is no spring inside. The body is a stainless round barrel with riveted aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated rod, so it tolerates damp production floors and light washdown far better than painted mini cylinders. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the ends of the stroke, and the magnet comes built in as standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch sensing. Plan real work at roughly 147 N at 0.5 MPa, which means this unit lifts about 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.

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.
Pushes capped vials or blister cards sideways off a pharmaceutical packaging lane, where the 50 mm stroke clears a 40 mm lane width and 245 N of push handles the product weight without marking it.
Clamps thin aluminium brackets against a welding jig stop; the roughly 147 N of dependable holding force at 0.5 MPa is enough for light-gauge parts, and the rear CA pivot swings the cylinder as the clamp arm rotates.
Raises the latch end of a small machine guard or hopper gate on a pivot mount, using the 50 mm stroke as a short throw and the 25 kgf theoretical lift to overcome the lid weight.
If your load needs less than about 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore MA will do the job at lower air use; if you need more than 245 N, step up to the 32 mm bore, which pushes 402.2 N at the same pressure. Keep in mind that if the supply is cut the piston settles wherever load and friction leave it - add a rod lock or pilot check valve when a clamp must stay shut on air loss. For this CA version, pair the rear pivot with an I or Y rod knuckle at the front end for a clean swinging linkage, and choose PT 1/8 ports or order the G or NPT variant to match your fittings.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and rod speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
The CA cover places a pivot eye on the rear of the cylinder, letting the whole body swing with a lever or clamp arm instead of staying rigidly fixed - useful on fixtures and linkages where a flat-end mount would bind. Front mounting options such as the FA flange or LB foot remain available, and the riveted stainless round barrel keeps the swinging assembly light and corrosion resistant.
