The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X25SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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.
Compact enough to tuck into tight frames, the MAC25X25SCM pairs a 25 mm bore with a 25 mm stroke inside a riveted round body. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod (20 um) shrug off moisture and mild washdown that quickly ruin painted mini cylinders. Double acting by design, air pushes the rod out and retracts it, and needle-adjustable cushions at both ends let you tune deceleration across the full 30-800 mm/s speed band.
At 0.5 MPa expect 245.3 N forward and 206.1 N back. Halve the push for a 2:1 margin and the rod lifts about 12 kg vertically - a quick check against the real weight of your part. The CM round-end back cover takes a fixed or clevis-style mount cleanly, while FA flanges, LB feet and SDB pivot brackets bolt on where the machine needs more. Every unit carries its piston magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed sensors simply clip on.

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. |
| ×25 | 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.
Indexes small housings to the next station; 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa keeps the motion crisp even with guide friction loaded on.
Knocks finished blanks free of the pocket after each hit; the roughly 12 kg vertical-lift margin covers most small steel parts with headroom.
Opens a flow path on demand; the stainless barrel and chrome rod shrug off splash and humidity that pit plain-aluminium minis.
If 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa overshoots your need, step down to the 20 mm bore (157.0 N); if the load grows, the 32 mm bore delivers 402.2 N from the same family. Because the MAC is double acting without any lock, a centred valve or dropped supply leaves the piston free to wander - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve for circuits that must hold position.
The round-end CM cover plus I or Y rod knuckles suit linkage drives; ask for G or NPT threads where PT is not the plant standard.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 245.3 N pushing, 206.1 N pulling. At 0.7 MPa: 343.4 N pushing, 288.5 N pulling. The theoretical ceiling is 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8" on this 25 mm bore and the rod is 10 mm with an M10x1.25 thread.
CM is a round-end back cover that suits clevis or fixed pin arrangements without adapter plates. The piston magnet is built in as standard - CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches attach straight to the barrel. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
