The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X115SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 115mm 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.
With a 25 mm bore pushing 245 N at 0.5 MPa, the MAC25X115SU sits in the mid-strength band of AirTAC's round mini line. The 115 mm stroke moves a stainless-steel barrel that is rolled tight onto aluminium covers - no tie-rods to loosen - while the hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod shrugs off washdown and damp air. Double-acting with a variable air cushion at each end, it runs 30-800 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special piston. For sizing, expect roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa once you keep a working margin - that is about 12 kg lifted vertically at a 2:1 ratio. At 0.7 MPa the same bore reaches 343.4 N, and the U flat-end back cover accepts a fixed plate or bracket directly.

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.

| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×115 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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 115 mm throw sweeps cartons off a checkweigher lane into a reject chute, with the flat-end cover bolted flush to the conveyor side rail.
Clamps light brackets in a small welding or assembly jig; about 147 N of working force holds parts without crushing thin sheet.
Presses caps home on jars at a semi-auto filling bench, with the cushion screws tuned so glass never takes a hard landing.
For lighter duty, the 20 mm bore gives 157 N at 0.5 MPa; when that is not enough, the 32 mm bore pushes 402 N. This cylinder will not hold position when air drops - the piston drifts - so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock for suspended loads. Mounting options include FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot bracket, and the 115 mm stroke warrants checking side load so the 10 mm rod is not bent.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa those rise to 343.4 N and 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum for the 25 mm bore is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8 inch, the rod is 10 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread, and the built-in magnet suits CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
No - the rolled U cover presents a flat face you can bolt to a fixed plate or machine wall without adapters. If the job needs pivoting, order the CA or CM back cover instead, or add an SDB pivot bracket. Either way the magnet and sensors are already fitted.
