The AirTAC Airtac MA Mini Cylinders MA25X600SCAT is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 600mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Tapered NPT 1/8 in ports set the MA25X600SCAT apart from the standard PT version, so North-American pipe nipples and elbows thread on without adaptors. This double acting mini cylinder carries fixed anti-impact bumper pads and a made-to-order 600 mm stroke on a 25 mm bore, delivering 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa and 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply range. Its rolling-packed stainless round barrel and hard-chromed 10 mm rod shrug off washdown and humid plant air where painted-steel minis corrode. For real-world sizing, keep continuous work near 147 N and note the rod lifts about 12 kg vertically even with a 2:1 margin. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches snap on for end-of-stroke signalling without a special piston 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
A 600 mm stroke sweeps off-spec PET bottles clear across a wide conveyor lane; 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa is ample for lightweight containers and the NPT ports suit US-built filler skids.
With roughly 12 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the rod raises chucks, glue heads or small dies between press station and workbench in machine shops.
The standard built-in magnet trips a CMSG switch to confirm a CNC enclosure door is fully open, while the CA pivot back cover lets the actuating arm swing through its arc.
Compare neighbours before committing: an MA20 at this stroke manages only 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an MA32 steps up to 402.2 N, so the 25 mm bore fits mid-range duties near 147 N of actual work. The 600 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm catalogue maximum, so it is manufactured to order. On a long stroke, side load multiplies - guide the load externally to keep bending stress off the 10 mm rod. Pick NPT only when your manifold and fittings are already tapered imperial; EU or Asian BSPP circuits should order the G-thread variant instead. The CA pivot back cover takes a swivel mount with no extra hardware, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB brackets bolt on for fixed anchoring. If the load must stay put when air drops, the piston will drift - add a pilot check valve or rod lock rather than relying on the bumpers.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 343.4 N with 288.5 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Feed it air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), rod speed runs 30-800 mm/s, and ambient temperature spans -20 to +70 C.
The high-precision stainless round barrel is riveted together with aluminium-alloy covers and a stainless block - no tie rods to work loose - while the carbon-steel piston rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating for corrosion resistance. The fixed bumper pads soften impact at each stroke end by decelerating the piston; they are not an adjustable air cushion, which is the feature the MAC family adds.
