Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCM 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 MAC25X160SCM
Wet production floors favour this one: a 25 mm MAC with 160 mm stroke and a CM round-end back cover, double acting and variably cushioned at both ends of the travel. It pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa - enough to index trays or drive a light gate all shift.
Daily hose-downs corrode painted steel bodies; the stainless round barrel here simply sheds the water, and the rolled aluminium covers keep the seal tight with no tie-rod hardware to loosen. Expect close to 147 N of working push at 0.5 MPa in practice, which lifts about 12 kg vertically once you allow a 2:1 cushion, and the fitted magnet pairs with CMSG or EMSG switches for position checks on the line.

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 MAC25X160SCM Is Used
Tray indexing
Index deli trays along a washdown conveyor; 245 N at 0.5 MPa moves loaded trays without straining the mechanism.
Rinse-station push
Push sample racks into a laboratory rinse bath; the stainless body tolerates constant splashes and drips.
Bagger gate
Drive the fill gate on a small bagging machine where hoses-down are routine and painted actuators rust out fast.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X160SCM the Right Cylinder?
A quick sizing scan: one bore down, a 20 mm MAC delivers 157 N at 0.5 MPa; one up, a 32 mm reaches 402.2 N. On 160 mm strokes, take any cross load on external guides rather than the rod. The CM round-end cover accepts a clevis-style pivot cleanly, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pieces handle fixed mounting. If the load must stay put after air loss, this unit will coast - a rod lock is the right add-on there. Sensors need no retrofit since the magnet is built in.
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 MAC25X160SCM FAQ
Push 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; push 343.4 N and pull 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 25 mm bore carries a 10 mm rod, 1/8 in ports and an M10x1.25 rod thread, running 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The round barrel is stainless steel and the rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um, so rinse water, brines and cleaners do not pit the body the way they do painted minis. Riveted aluminium covers keep the whole unit sealed and light.
