The AirTAC Airtac B52-MA Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MA25X450SCA is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 450mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Built for long-travel jobs in tight spaces, the MA25X450SCA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a 450 mm stroke that pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N of push at 0.7 MPa. Its riveted stainless-steel barrel and hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod shrug off washdown splash and mild corrosion, an edge painted-steel minis cannot offer, while the CA pivot back cover lets the body swing on a pin with no extra bracket. A fixed anti-impact pad softens stroke-end shock at both ends - it decelerates the piston only and is not an adjustable air cushion. Air drives the rod both ways, so it stays put only while pressure is present; vent the valve and the load can drift, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve when a position must be held. For sizing, expect roughly 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, and that same output is enough to lift about 12 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is kept.

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.

| 0.5 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.

The 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa slides dough trays across a 450 mm transfer section, and the fixed bumper pad stops the pusher plate without hard metal contact at stroke end.
A vertical pair of MA25X450SCA cylinders hoists a 12 kg fixture plate through a 450 mm lift, fitting a narrow machine frame no profile cylinder could.
The CA pivot cover lets the cylinder swing to follow the door arc, while the stainless barrel copes with coolant mist along the full 450 mm travel.
At 450 mm the 10 mm rod is long for its diameter, so guide the part on rails or add external guidance to keep side load off the rod, and stay within the 30-800 mm/s speed band. Ports are 1/8" PT and the rod end carries an M10x1.25 male thread. If 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N) or up to the 32 mm bore (402.2 N) in the same family. The magnet is built in as standard, so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch can flag end positions without a special-order piston, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on if the CA pivot cover does not suit the frame. Keep in mind the piston is free to move whenever air is vented - pin the load with a check valve or rod lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 343.4 N (pull 288.5 N). Theoretical maximum force is 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MA cylinder including the MA25X450SCA carries a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel to signal extend and retract positions without any special-order piston.
