Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X10SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X10SCA
With only 10 mm of travel, this 25 mm bore MAC is built for clamp, push and eject moves where cycle speed matters more than distance. Double acting throughout, air drives the rod out and back, and a variable air cushion at each end absorbs the snap of short, fast strokes. Force at 0.5 MPa reaches 245.3 N on extend and 206.1 N on retract; at 0.7 MPa it is 343.4 N and 288.5 N, with about 50 kgf theoretical at the 1.0 MPa ceiling.
Size the real job at around 147 N of pushing effort at 0.5 MPa - roughly a 12 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - before choosing mount hardware. The rear CA cover carries a pivot, so the cylinder can swing with a lever or linkage instead of loading the rod sideways. A stainless rolled barrel with hard-chrome rod resists washdown, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches right out of the box.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X10SCA Is Used
Spot-weld fixture clamp
Ten millimetres is all a weld tip needs: 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa clamps two sheet blanks while the CA pivot rear lets the body follow the toggle arm through its arc.
Reject kicker on a beverage line
The short, fast stroke flicks an out-of-spec bottle off the conveyor at up to 800 mm/s; both-end cushions keep the flick from hammering the covers.
Part kick-off at a lathe catcher
As a finished bushing drops, the MAC25X10SCA nudges it down the chute; the built-in magnet and a CMSG switch confirm the extend position every cycle.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
Neighbouring bores bracket this one: 157.0 N at 20 mm and 402.2 N at 32 mm, each at 0.5 MPa, against 245.3 N here. Ports are 1/8"; rod thread M10x1.25; supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). With air on both sides of the piston, position is never held when the valve goes neutral, so specify a rod lock or pilot check valve for clamps that must not relax. FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets, plus I and Y knuckles, cover the rest of the mounting plan.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X10SCA FAQ
Measured at 0.5 MPa, push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa they become 343.4 N and 288.5 N. Around 50 kgf is available in theory at 1.0 MPa. Operating range runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s.
It replaces the plain back end with a pivot, so the cylinder can swing with a lever, linkage or clamp arm instead of forcing the rod to take side load. Short 10 mm strokes are especially sensitive to side force, so the pivot pays off here. FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets remain available if you need a fixed frame instead.
