The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC25X100SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion 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. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
Step up to bore 25 and the MAC25X100SCA more than doubles the muscle of a bore 16 unit while keeping the compact round profile. This double-acting cylinder carries a variable air cushion at both ends, so heavier loads arrive at the CA pivot cover without a slam. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod handle washdown and humidity far better than painted-steel minis.
At 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi) it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; 0.7 MPa raises push to 343.4 N. Working on 60 percent of the push rating leaves about 147 N for real duty, enough to raise roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The piston magnet ships standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount with no special order.

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.
Driving a ventilation damper arm through 100 mm of travel; the CA pivot cover pins straight into the linkage and 245.3 N moves stiff blades without struggling.
Clamping aluminium extrusions on a machining fixture - 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa holds parts against light milling cuts, with the cushion controlling release shock.
Raising a 12 kg inspection camera head on an assembly cell; the lift margin keeps motion smooth and EMSG switches mark the top position for the PLC.
Compare bores by 0.5 MPa push force: bore 16 gives 100.5 N, this bore 25 delivers 245.3 N, and bore 32 reaches 402.2 N - pick 25 when 16 stalls but 32 overkills the frame. The CA pivot back cover pins into clevis or bracket links for swinging motion, while FA flange and LB foot suit fixed frames. It will not hold a load with air off - the rod drifts, so use a rod lock or check valve for holding. At 100 mm stroke, avoid side loading the 10 mm rod and guide the payload separately.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi) is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and push climbs to 343.4 N with pull at 288.5 N. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. Operating band is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The CA pivot back cover suits clevis and swinging linkages, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets cover fixed frames. The piston magnet is included as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without any modification.
