The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X20SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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.
AirTAC's riveted round-body mini cylinder, the MAC25X20SU pairs a 25 mm bore with a short 20 mm stroke. Double acting, it pushes 245 N and pulls 206 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a variable air cushion at each end.
The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown, a real edge over painted minis in damp or food-area duty. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip straight on. At a practical 60 percent of rating you still command about 147 N - enough to hold roughly a 15 kg clamping load in a compact fixture.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×20 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Clamping small aluminium brackets against a stop during a drilling op - 20 mm of stroke and about 147 N of practical push hold the part firmly.
Kicking finished sub-assemblies off a small assembly bench; the short stroke needs barely 20 mm of machine space to clear the part.
A CMSG switch on the built-in magnet confirms the clamp has closed before the PLC allows the drill cycle to start.
Downsize to the 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps, or step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N) when parts get heavier. The U flat-end cover bolts straight to a fixed plate; add an FA flange or LB foot if the body needs support. Remember the rod moves freely once air is removed - use a pilot check valve or rod lock if the load must stay put. PT thread is standard; add the code letter for G or NPT.
Quick checklist
Push is 245 N and pull 206 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 343 N and pull 288 N; the theoretical maximum is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder is double acting, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s, and uses a 10 mm rod with 1/8" ports.
Yes. The MAC25X20SU uses a stainless-steel round barrel riveted to aluminium-alloy covers, with a 10 mm carbon-steel rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um. That build shrugs off mild corrosion and regular washdown far better than painted mini cylinders, which is why it suits damp food and packaging areas.
