The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X150SCM 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 round-body mini cylinder built for continuous cycling, the MAC25X150SCM runs double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends. AirTAC rivets aluminium-alloy covers and a stainless block onto a stainless barrel, then fits a 10 mm hard-chrome plated rod, so the assembly shrugs off mild corrosion in damp, food or outdoor corners where painted minis suffer. The CM round-end back cover arrives fitted, and the magnet is standard - CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston.
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore delivers 245.3 N on extend, roughly 25 kg of push. Apply the usual 2:1 margin and this cylinder lifts about 12 kg vertically with room to spare. Because the cushions are adjustable, you can run the 150 mm stroke near the top of the 30-800 mm/s range and still land loads softly instead of hammering the covers - just back the needle screws off on first run and close them gradually.

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.
Flips a sorting gate on a bottling line to send 12 kg cartons down the reject lane, cushions softening both stops.
Clamps aluminium housings in a small CNC drilling fixture where 245 N at 0.5 MPa is enough hold-down force.
Raises a filling-head guard or lid weighing under 12 kg on a packaging machine, with a DMSG switch confirming position.
Size from the numbers: a 20 mm bore pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa and a 32 mm bore pushes 402.2 N, so this 25 mm sits between them at 245.3 N. When air is lost or the valve centres, the rod drifts freely - the cushion is not a brake - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The CM back cover bolts straight into fixed brackets; for other frames, FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on, and I or Y knuckles handle pivoting rod ends. Over the 150 mm travel, keep side loads off the 10 mm rod by guiding the load or aligning it true.
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 push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum for this 25 mm bore is 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure can sit anywhere in 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and rod speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
The CM back cover finishes in a rounded boss that mounts directly into a fixed bore or clevis bracket, no adapter plate needed. If you would rather have a flange or foot, order the FA, LB or SDB variants - and the built-in magnet already works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
