Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X230SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X230SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 230mm 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 MAC25X230SCA
A 230 mm stroke on a 25 mm bore gives lever arms and bell cranks plenty of reach while still delivering 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa - 288.5 N of pull at the same pressure. The cylinder runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, and the variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune each stop as the linkage speeds up.
This SCA variant pairs the standard built-in magnet with a CA pivot back cover, so the rear mount accepts a clevis pin directly and the linkage swings without binding or extra hardware. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod stand up well in humid or lightly washed plants, and keeping the applied load near 147 N of the 0.5 MPa rating leaves the seal system comfortable through long duty cycles.

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 MAC25X230SCA Is Used
Sorting gate lever
Drives a sort-gate crank on a parcel conveyor, sweeping parcels between two lanes over a 230 mm arc.
Oven-door link arm
Opens a small bake-oven door through a bell crank, the CA pivot cover carrying the door's weight reaction smoothly.
Carton indexer
Advances a pack indexer linkage one station per cycle, with cushioning softening each 230 mm advance.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X230SCA the Right Cylinder?
For short levers doing light work, a 20 mm bore MAC saves space at 157 N push; for heavier link arms, the 32 mm bore more than doubles the muscle to 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Remember the piston is double acting and unpowered whenever the valve centres - the rod simply follows the load - so fit a rod lock or check valve where position must be kept. LB foot and FA flange brackets suit fixed frames, SDB suits a pivot base, and I or Y knuckles close the linkage; on a 230 mm stroke, align the pin axes to avoid bending the rod sideways.
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 MAC25X230SCA FAQ
Expect 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressures span 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Back both cushion needle screws fully off before the first strokes, then close them gradually until the end-of-stroke knock disappears at your working speed. This variable cushion is what lets the cylinder run faster or carry heavier linkage loads without hammering the covers.
