The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X150SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm 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.
A 150 mm reach on a 25 mm bore makes the MAC25X150SCA a go-to for longer clearances in tight frames. Its rolled round body - stainless tube, hard-chrome 10 mm rod, riveted aluminium covers - resists corrosion in humid or lightly washed-down corners where painted minis rust. As a double-acting cylinder with variable air cushions at each end, it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, and 343.4 N forward at 0.7 MPa.
Scale the numbers to real work: keep loads near 147 N and it will hoist roughly 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The CA pivot eye mounts straight onto levers and linkages, while the factory-fitted magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG reed switches with no special-order piston. Operating window: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-800 mm/s, -20 to +70 C.

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.

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.
The stainless barrel and 150 mm stroke open steam dampers on a bakery rack oven, where humidity would eat through painted-steel cylinders in months.
Rated to lift about 12 kg vertically with margin, the cylinder raises a small vacuum plate carrying aluminium brackets at a robotics pick station.
Pushing 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, it seats a detent pin into a rotary indexing table, with the end cushions killing the clack on every engage.
Compare the 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) when headroom is tight, or move up to 32 mm for 402.2 N at the same supply. Note the rod is free-floating once air stops - centre your valve and the piston will creep, so fit a pilot check or rod lock wherever the load must stay put. The CA pivot back cover handles swinging links; FA flange, LB foot or SDB brackets cover fixed layouts. On a 150 mm stroke, external side loads will quickly wear the 10 mm rod bushings, so guide the payload separately.
Quick checklist
Forward force at 0.5 MPa is 245.3 N with 206.1 N on retract; at 0.7 MPa those become 343.4 N and 288.5 N, topping out at a theoretical 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um and cycle anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Yes. The needle screws on both ends arrive set for shipping; back them off before the first run and open gradually until end-of-stroke knock disappears. This dial-in lets you push the speed toward 800 mm/s or carry heavier loads without hammering the covers.
