The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X135SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 135mm 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 U flat-end back cover of the MAC25X135SU sits flush against a machine plate, so the 135 mm stroke stays inside a tight envelope with no bracket between cylinder and frame. Double acting on both sides of a 25 mm piston, it extends with 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, and the variable air cushion at each stroke end lets you run quick cycles without hammering the covers.
Inside the rolled stainless barrel, a grease-retaining two-way piston seal and a 20 um hard-chrome rod keep friction low and corrosion at bay, even in humid plants that defeat coated minis. The magnet is part of the standard build, so a CMSG or EMSG switch clips on for stroke signals the day it arrives. In round numbers, plan on roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, about the force needed to index a 15 kg carriage on a low-friction slide.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 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.

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.

Compare the 20 mm bore at 157.0 N and the 32 mm bore at 402.2 N (both 0.5 MPa push): this 25 mm model is the mid-band choice when a 135 mm reach and moderate force meet. Cut the air and the rod simply floats, so anything that must stay parked needs a pilot check valve or rod lock in the circuit. The flat U end favors fixed face mounting, with FA flange or LB foot hardware available if the frame calls for a different interface, and long travel like this argues for external guiding to protect the 10 mm rod from side loads.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder takes 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working pressure, survives 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, moves the rod at 30-800 mm/s and ports air through 1/8".
Included. Every MAC piston carries a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals - no special-order piston, no sensor kit to buy separately.
