Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCA
Swinging lever and linkage mechanisms suit this 160 mm stroke MAC: the CA pivot back cover rides a pin, air drives the rod both directions, and a variable cushion eases each end of the long run. Push force reaches 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa on a 25 mm bore.
A stainless tube with a hard-chrome plated rod resists coolant splash and outdoor damp far better than painted-steel minis, an edge that matters over 160 mm of exposed travel. For real work, figure about 147 N of push at 0.5 MPa - around 12 kg lifted vertically with margin to spare. The magnet comes fitted as standard, so DMSG switches click on for mid-stroke signalling without any special-order piston.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCA Is Used
Lever tipping
Tip small trays on a packaging conveyor with a pivoting lever - the CA cover mounts straight on the pin, no bracket needed.
Chute diverting
Swing a sorting chute between two lanes; the 160 mm travel gives a clean arc for light parcel streams.
Guard door swing
Open light machine-guard doors from a pivot arm, with the cushion catching the door before it slams.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare bores by force: 20 mm gives 157 N at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm gives 245.3 N, and 32 mm jumps to 402.2 N. Over 160 mm of extension, keep side loads off the rod with a guide rail or a Y knuckle so it does not bend. The CA cover pivots without extra brackets; FA flange, LB foot or SDB hardware adds fixed options. When air is vented the rod sits unrestrained - a pilot check valve is what preserves the position. Ports are 1/8 in on this bore; run 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCA FAQ
Push at 0.5 MPa is 245.3 N and pull is 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa it delivers 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull, with a 50 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Rod 10 mm, ports 1/8 in, rod thread M10x1.25, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
The CA cover carries a pivot eye, so the cylinder can articulate in linkages without a separate knuckle bracket. Combined with the standard built-in magnet, it also accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position feedback.
