The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X270SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 270mm 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.
Flat on the back and quick to bolt down, the MAC25X270SU pairs a U end cover with a 25 mm stainless round barrel rolled into aluminium covers. Air on both piston faces drives the stroke: 245.3 N out and 206.1 N back at 0.5 MPa, with the variable cushion at each end keeping 30-800 mm/s motion from hammering the caps. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The hard-chrome plated rod runs in seals that store grease, so lubrication survives metal dust and dry shop air alike. Derate for continuous work to about 147 N - 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push - and the bore will lift 12.5 kg straight up and still hold margin back. A built-in magnet means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches read stroke position with no special-order piston.

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.
Steps totes forward one position along a gravity lane; the flat-end cover mounts flush to the lane frame with no pivot hardware needed.
Sets the stock length on a light-profile cutting saw; 343 N push at 0.7 MPa locks the stop against blade vibration.
Feeds rivets into the setter jaws; the hard-chrome rod endures the metal-dust environment far better than a painted mini body.
Either direction you size, the neighbours are clear: 157 N at 0.5 MPa from a 20 mm bore or 402.2 N from a 32 mm bore. Choose smaller to trim air use, larger for side-load headroom. Once air vents, this piston drifts wherever the load pushes it, so held positions call for a rod lock or pilot check valve. Bolt the flat-end cover to a bracket, support the barrel with an FA flange or LB foot across the 270 mm stroke, and let outside guides take any bending off the 10 mm rod.
Quick checklist
Count on 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical ceiling is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Connections are 1/8" ports with M10x1.25 rod thread, working range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Bolt the flat-end U cover to a support bracket, then add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot under the barrel so the 10 mm hard-chrome rod is not asked to carry side load across the 270 mm travel; guide the load on its own slides.
