The AirTAC AirTAC MA25X125SCA Mini Cylinder 25x125 CA Pivot is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
This 25 mm bore MA-series mini cylinder swings through a 125 mm stroke with air acting on both piston faces, so the rod is powered out and back; fixed anti-impact bumper pads absorb the shock at each end of travel. At 0.5 MPa the push stroke develops 245.3 N and the pull stroke 206.1 N, climbing to 343.4 N and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa within a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating window. For day-to-day sizing, plan on roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa instead of the full figure - that is about 25 kgf of theoretical force, enough to raise a 12 kg part vertically while keeping a 2:1 margin. The compact riveted round body combines a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod (20 um coating), so it holds up in damp food, packaging and outdoor spots where painted minis corrode. A magnet comes built in as standard, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without ordering a special piston.

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.

A pivot-mounted pusher that swings into a 125 mm gap to divert or hold PET bottles between conveyor lanes, using the 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa to hold a queue against back pressure.
Raises jigs or sub-assemblies up to roughly 12 kg in a vertical station, with the CA pivot eye suiting a link arm and the standard magnet triggering a CMSG switch at the top position.
Swing clamps and hold-down links on small machining fixtures, where the 206.1 N pull stroke retracts the toggle clear of part loading without manual unclamping.
At 125 mm the stroke sits comfortably inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order tube is involved. If a 20 mm bore falls short at 157.0 N push (0.5 MPa), step up to this 25 mm unit; when the job demands more than 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, move to the 32 mm bore. Ports are 1/8 inch PT and the rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread. Keep in mind a plain MA lets the piston drift once air is vented or the valve centres - specify a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must stay put. The SCA code pairs the standard magnet-equipped body with a CA pivot back cover, a natural fit for swinging linkages and lever mechanisms; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets can be added to the order if a fixed base suits better. Side loads stay modest at this stroke, but align the rod square to the load to protect the bushing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it produces 245.3 N on the push stroke and 206.1 N on the pull stroke; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 343.4 N and 288.5 N. Theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder runs double acting on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a working speed of 30-800 mm/s.
The SC A code adds a CA pivot back cover to the standard double-acting body, giving a clevis-style eye for swinging linkage mounts without extra brackets. The built-in magnet that is supplied with every MA cylinder stays included, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount directly on the stainless barrel, and the fixed bumper pads soften stroke-end impact without any adjustment.
