The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X100SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
The CM round-end back cover on this MAC25X100SCM lets the cylinder pin straight onto a pivot without extra brackets, handy on linkages and clamping arms. Inside, it is a 100 mm stroke double-acting unit with a variable air cushion at each end, built on a rolled stainless barrel with a hard-chrome rod that tolerates damp and rinsed-down areas.
Bore 25 output is 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi), climbing to 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Keep continuous duty near 147 N of push and the same force will hoist roughly 12.5 kg vertically against gravity with a 2:1 margin. A magnet comes built into the piston as standard, ready for EMSG, DMSG or CMSG switch pickup.

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 | 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.
Stopping a rotary swing arm on an assembly conveyor; the CM round-end cover pins into the arm clevis and 206.1 N of pull retracts it clear each cycle.
Pressing caps onto 25 mm dip tubes in a bottling cell; 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa seats caps while the variable cushion prevents cap cracking.
Indexing product between fill and cap stations - the standard piston magnet and CMSG switches report gate position to the PLC on every stroke.
Against its neighbours: bore 20 pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa, bore 25 reaches 245.3 N, and bore 40 jumps to 628.3 N, so choose 25 for mid-range force in tight spaces. The CM round-end cover drops onto pivot pins directly, and SDB pivot brackets or LB feet bolt on if the machine prefers them. Remember the piston moves freely when air is removed - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay parked. With 100 mm of travel, keep the 10 mm rod protected from side thrust.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi) push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa these rise to 343.4 N and 288.5 N. The 1.0 MPa theoretical maximum is 50 kgf. Supply pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s.
The rolled stainless barrel and hard-chrome carbon-steel rod resist corrosion in damp, washed or outdoor locations where painted minis rust. Note it drifts freely when air is removed, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay parked.
