The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X140SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 140mm 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.
Where a linkage swings, the MAC25X140SCA's CA pivot back cover takes the mounting pin directly and saves you a fabricated bracket. The 25 mm bore turns 0.5 MPa supply into 245.3 N of extend force and 206.1 N of retract force over a 140 mm stroke, while needle-screw cushions at both ends tune the deceleration as cycle speeds climb.
A 245.3 N push is roughly 25 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin you can count on lifting about 12 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa - a useful yardstick when matching this cylinder to a real part weight. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off splash and humidity, the standard magnet accepts DMSG or CMSG switches without special ordering, and the whole package runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.

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.
A pivot-mounted arm indexing small component pallets, the CA pin tracking the arc so the rod never fights a misaligned swing, cushions damping each stop.
Tipping picking totes toward the operator on a bench fixture, sized around the 12 kg vertical-lift margin for heavier loaded bins.
Squaring corrugated cases on a strapper infeed with 245 N of hold force at 0.5 MPa, an EMSG switch verifying the arm reached the fully squared position.
The 20 mm bore (157.0 N at 0.5 MPa) handles lighter link arms and the 32 mm bore (402.2 N) suits heavier stamping heads; this 25 mm size sits between them for mid-weight pivot mechanisms. With no air applied the piston coasts freely, so a gravity load on a swinging arm calls for a pilot check valve or a positive external lock. Complete the pivot chain with an SDB bracket and an I or Y rod knuckle, note that 140 mm of travel amplifies any side load on the 10 mm rod, and use the built-in magnet with an EMSG switch to confirm the arm is home.
Quick checklist
Extend 245.3 N and retract 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; extend 343.4 N and retract 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/8" air port, 10 mm rod threaded M10x1.25, stroke 140 mm with 500 mm standard for this bore.
Back both cushion needle screws fully off, then close them gradually while cycling until the load stops crisply at each end without bounce. The MAC cushion is variable, not fixed, so retune it whenever speed or load changes; keep the rod within the 30-800 mm/s band for stable cushioning.
