The AirTAC Airtac B52-MA Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MA25X175SCA is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 175mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A compact double-acting round mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke, the MA25X175SCA delivers 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N of push at 0.7 MPa. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the contact at each stroke end without forming an adjustable cushion. Because the piston magnet comes as standard, a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch clips straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke signalling. For sizing, treat roughly 147 N at 0.5 MPa as the realistic working effort, which equals about a 12 kg vertical lift once a 2:1 margin is applied. The stainless-steel barrel paired with a 20 um hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off damp washdown corners far better than painted-steel minis, and the riveted CA pivot back cover lets a link or eye swing freely without add-on brackets.

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.
| 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.

| -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.
The 175 mm stroke reaches into a shallow indexing nest while the 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa presses an ink wheel or hot stamp onto each tube face.
A CA pivot link swings the gate between two lanes; about 147 N of usable effort moves carton batches without oversizing the actuator.
Retracting with 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder strips formed trays cleanly off the mould plate as the platen opens.
At 0.5 MPa the push ladder runs 157.0 N on the 20 mm bore, 245.3 N here and 402.2 N on the 32 mm bore, so step up a size when the duty needs more than about 147 N of sustained effort. Remember that a plain MA drifts as soon as the valve centres or air is lost; fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must stay parked. The CA pivot back cover suits swing links and toggle mechanisms, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on for fixed mounting. Over a 175 mm stroke, keep side loads off the M10x1.25 male rod thread by guiding the payload externally.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 343.4 N. The theoretical maximum is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and rod speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. Every MA-series piston carries a magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel with no special-order piston. This 25 mm bore uses 1/8 in PT ports and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
