Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X225SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X225SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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 MAC25X225SCA
The MAC25X225SCA covers 225 mm of travel with a 25 mm bore and a double-acting piston: air, not a spring, drives it out and pulls it back at 30-800 mm/s. At 0.5 MPa that means 245.3 N extend and 206.1 N retract, reaching 343.4 N extend at 0.7 MPa, with tunable cushions at both ends softening every stop.
Its CA pivot back cover takes a clevis pin so the body can swing through the stroke, handy on linkages that are not perfectly in line. The magnet comes fitted in every piston, so a DMSG or CMSG switch reports position without ordering a sensor variant. Stainless tube and a hard-chromed rod keep it alive where painted bodies bubble and seize. Keep real work to about 147 N at 0.5 MPa, roughly 60 percent of rating - in lifting terms a 12 kg part raised vertically with safety to spare.

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 MAC25X225SCA Is Used
Indexing pin on rotary table
Advances a locking pin into a rotary fixture table each cycle, cushioned seating preventing metal-on-metal shock.
QA test-ramp tilt
Tilts a small test ramp on a quality bench via clevis linkage, the CA pivot absorbing slight stroke misalignment.
AGV sensor mast lift
Raises a 12 kg sensor mast on a warehouse AGV through 225 mm, inside the vertical-lift capability of this bore.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X225SCA the Right Cylinder?
With 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa this bore out-muscles the 20 mm frame (157.0 N) and sits below the 32 mm (402.2 N); step up only when friction pushes duty past about 147 N. The MAC is unpowered at rest: shut off the air or centre the valve and the rod floats, so a suspended load calls for a rod lock or a pilot-operated check. The CA pivot pairs with an SDB bracket for full swivel, FA flange and LB foot serve fixed frames, and the standard magnet suits CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensing. A 225 mm stroke magnifies misalignment, so hinge or guide the load along the rod axis.
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 MAC25X225SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 50.0 kgf. Feed it 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um; proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and the connection is a 1/8 inch port.
The CA cover provides a pivot eye for clevis mountings, letting the cylinder follow slight linkage misalignment over the 225 mm stroke. A magnet is fitted in the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp onto the barrel for end-of-travel detection with no special order.
