The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X245SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 245mm 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.
Need nearly a quarter metre of push from a compact bore? The MAC25X245SU extends the 25 mm round-body platform to 245 mm while still making 245.3 N forward and 206.1 N return at 0.5 MPa, or 343.4 N and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Both ends carry a variable air cushion, tunable across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Under the skin sits a riveted stainless-steel barrel, hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod and aluminium-alloy covers - a washdown-friendly combination for damp food, chemical and outdoor stations. Sized with margin, about 147 N of the 0.5 MPa force is available for actual work; that same force equates to lifting roughly 12 kg vertically against gravity with a 2:1 safety factor. A factory-fitted magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches out of the box.

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.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×245 | 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.
Pulls a wire-tightening lever on a small scrap baler through its 245 mm link travel, the return cushion smoothing the release.
Squares misaligned cases before taping by pushing them against a side rail on a cartoning line, end-of-stroke sensed by an EMSG switch.
Clamps a welded bracket in a checking fixture; the long stroke clears the part during loading and the cushion avoids clamp shock.
Run the numbers either side of this model: bore 20 gives 157 N at 0.5 MPa for light duties and bore 32 delivers 402.2 N when the load grows past 250 N. With a 245 mm rod, watch side load - guide the payload or the rod will wear unevenly over time. Position is not held on air loss; the piston simply drifts, so specify a rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-in-place duties. The U flat-end cover mounts flush to a plate; SDB pivot brackets and FA flanges are catalogued options, and the magnet is standard.
Quick checklist
Yes: at 0.5 MPa - 245.3 N push, 206.1 N pull; at 0.7 MPa - 343.4 N push, 288.5 N pull; theoretical maximum 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Rod 10 mm (M10x1.25 male thread), port 1/8", pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
The barrel is high-precision stainless steel with aluminium covers riveted on and a 20 um hard-chrome plated rod, so the cylinder tolerates humidity, splash and outdoor exposure far better than painted mini cylinders. The 25 mm body stays slim even at the full 245 mm stroke, and the integral magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensing with no added parts.
