The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC40X25SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 25mm 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.
Flat-ended and bolt-through friendly, the U rear cover on this 40 mm bore MAC seats directly against machine plates. Double-acting air both extends and retracts the rod across 25 mm, and the variable cushion at each end - opened fully for first run, then dialled in - takes the sting out of 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Grease stored in the heterogeneous piston seal keeps friction low along the hard-chrome 16 mm rod, so the cylinder tolerates dusty farm implements and packaging frames between services. Working-load view: budget around 377 N at 0.5 MPa for continuous duty, equal to hoisting some 32 kg vertically while keeping 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.

| ×25 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Field dust and fertilizer residue meet a sealed stainless barrel; 628 N of push holds the gate shut against seed pressure through a full hopper.
The flat U rear mounts straight to the frame rail, and the cushions stop the tray from bouncing at the end of the 25 mm push.
With a Y knuckle picking up the punch, the cylinder ejects blanks using about 377 N of working force at 0.5 MPa.
Bore 20 tops out at 157 N push at 0.5 MPa and bore 63 at 1558 N, which frames 40 mm as the mid-duty pick for gates, clamps and small lifts. Do not use the cylinder as a position holder: with the valve centred or air lost, an unbalanced load walks the rod - a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix. The U end bolts flat to plates, or choose FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets plus I / Y knuckles for the rod side. Pressure window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-800 mm/s, and the magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit with no special piston.
Quick checklist
Push 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa, push 880 N at 0.7 MPa, and 128 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Air ports are 1/8", the rod is 16 mm hard-chrome steel with M12x1.25 thread, and the 25 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Yes - every MAC ships with the magnet built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or electronic switches clamp onto the barrel whenever end-of-stroke confirmation is needed. No special-order piston is required.
