The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X200SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 200mm 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.
With a rounded CM back cover and 200 mm of cushioned travel, this 25 mm MAC pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 343.4 N forward at 0.7 MPa. Air from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) drives it both ways as a double-acting unit, while variable needle cushions and a 30-800 mm/s speed band keep stops gentle.
The stainless barrel shrugs off coolant mist in machine-tool enclosures where steel-bodied minis pit, and the hard-chrome rod scores low wear even on fast cycles. As a planning figure, about 147 N of the 0.5 MPa push is a sensible continuous workload, and on lift duty that means roughly 12 kg raised vertically with a 2:1 margin kept. The magnet is already inside, so CMSG and EMSG switches detect position with no special piston order.

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.
Drives a drilling head feed slide inside a machine-tool enclosure where coolant mist rules out painted-steel cylinders.
Pushes dairy crates through a wash tunnel gate; the cushioned 200 mm stroke ends protect the stainless housing from impact.
Raises a fixture plate on an electronics burn-in bench; with a rod lock fitted the plate stays up during changeovers.
Step down to bore 20 (157.0 N at 0.5 MPa) for tight spaces, or up to bore 32 (402.2 N) when the job outgrows this class. Remember the rod is not held by the cushion or the valve: if air fails, a hanging load falls, so add a rod lock for vertical axes. The CM round end accepts a pivot pin directly in link mechanisms, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB bracket options cover fixed mounts. On a 200 mm stroke, avoid side loads beyond light duty or fit external guides.
Quick checklist
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 maximum 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 10 mm with an M10x1.25 thread, and both ports are 1/8 inch on PT threads as standard.
The CM cover presents a rounded end that takes a pivot pin, letting the cylinder articulate in linkages without a separate bracket. U flat-end covers bolt rigidly instead, and CA covers take a clevis-style pivot. All three share the same 25 mm bore thrust figures.
