The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X250SUFA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 250mm 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.
Where the body itself must carry the load, the FA flange on this MAC25X250SUFA bolts the 25 mm bore flat against a machined panel, spreading thrust through the front face. Double acting with an adjustable air cushion at both ends, it makes 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while the stainless round barrel resists coolant splash and washdown mist far better than painted-steel minis.
Work to about 147 N of real push at 0.5 MPa and vertical lifts come out near 12 kg with a 2:1 margin. The long 250 mm travel runs on a 10 mm rod, so hold thrust in line with the bore axis and hand side loads to external guides. The piston magnet is included from the factory; adding an EMSG switch turns the cylinder into a position-sensing actuator with no special 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.
Clamping small pumps onto a leak-test plate on an assembly bench, the FA flange anchoring the cylinder against reaction force.
Pressing bearings into motor end bells on a manual assembly bench, 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa handling light interference fits.
Actuating a swing clamp on a machining-centre fixture, where the long 250 mm stroke clears part loading space.
Neighbouring bores bracket this size: 20 mm pushes 157.0 N and 32 mm pushes 402.2 N, both at 0.5 MPa, against 245.3 N here. The FA flange absorbs mounting reaction through the front face, leaving the U back cover free for rod accessories; SDB pivot or LB foot brackets work if the layout changes. Expect the rod to move the load when the valve centres and supply is cut - a pilot check valve or rod lock is the answer for held positions. Run between 30-800 mm/s and trim the cushion needles for clean stops at the faster end.
Quick checklist
Figures to quote: 245.3 N forward and 206.1 N back at 0.5 MPa; 343.4 N forward and 288.5 N back at 0.7 MPa; near 50 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. The 10 mm rod and 1/8 inch ports pair with a 250 mm stroke that fits comfortably under the 500 mm standard limit.
The FA flange bolts the cylinder body flat to a machined face, while the U flat back cover stays free for rod accessories such as I or Y knuckles. Air enters through 1/8 inch ports threaded PT as standard, with G and NPT available on request; LB foot and SDB pivot brackets are alternatives if the layout changes.
