The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X125SCALB is a genuine double acting + cushion 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. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
Bolt this foot-mounted bore 25 cylinder to the machine frame and the MAC25X125SCALB turns 0.5 MPa air into 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull over a 125 mm stroke. At 0.7 MPa output climbs to 343.4 N push / 288.5 N pull, and the theoretical ceiling is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In vertical use that 0.5 MPa push converts to roughly 25 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 12 kg vertically - handy for matching real part weights.
The LB feet anchor a riveted stainless round barrel to any flat surface, a mounting that spreads load well on longer strokes like this 125 mm. Both covers carry a variable air cushion, so heavy or fast strokes can be softened at each end with the needle screws. A magnet ships as standard for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches, the rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, and the air port is 1/8 inch.

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.

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.
Raises a 10 kg jig between loading and machining levels on a semi-automatic fixture, using the calculated 12 kg vertical lift capacity with margin.
Powers the stroke of a small paint or adhesive dispensing pump in a finishing cell, where the foot mount anchors the body beside the pump body.
Indexes small pallets along a timber-working line, with the 125 mm stroke covering one pallet pitch and the air cushion settling each push.
For the same 125 mm stroke, a bore 20 unit manages 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa and a bore 32 delivers 402.2 N, so choose 20 to save space or 32 when loads approach 350 N. This is a double-acting cylinder with no position holding: when air is lost or the valve centres, the piston moves with the load, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where that matters. Feet keep alignment simple, but verify the rod axis against the load - a 125 mm stroke tolerates little side force. Magnet-equipped piston means sensing needs no options or special order.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull; theoretical maximum output is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder is double acting with variable air cushioning, works from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, and its port is 1/8 inch.
Feet clamp the riveted stainless body to a flat machine surface and keep the rod axis stable over longer travels, where side loads and misalignment are more punishing. If the layout later needs a flange or pivot instead, FA, SDB and CA or CM options exist on the same bore.
