The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X275SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 275mm 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.
For a 275 mm reach inside a compact round shell, the MAC25X275SCA pairs a 25 mm stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, a combination that shrugs off mild corrosion in damp, washed-down or outdoor spots where painted minis fail. It is double acting - air drives the rod both ways - and a variable air cushion at each end lets you bleed off end-of-stroke shock so you can run 30-800 mm/s without hammering the covers.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 245.3 N, which translates to roughly 147 N of usable work once you keep a 30% margin, or a vertical lift of about 12 kg with a 2:1 safety factor (25 kg at full rating). The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on - no special piston, no reorder. The CA pivot back cover takes a mounting pin directly, skipping extra brackets on swinging linkages.

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.

| 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.
The 275 mm stroke slides a roast-cooling hopper gate fully open while the pivot CA cover mounts straight on the gate link.
Pinning through the CA eye, the cylinder swings a 275 mm diverter flap to route boxes between conveyor lanes with about 147 N of working force.
Trays slide off the oven discharge one at a time; the stainless barrel tolerates flour dust and washdown, and end-of-stroke cushions stop the tray softly.
Size check: the 20 mm bore gives 157 N at 0.5 MPa and the 32 mm bore gives 402.2 N, so if your load is light and speed matters little, step down; if the 25 mm runs near its 245.3 N rating, step up. Remember a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - the rod drifts under load - so add a pilot check valve or rod lock where a held load matters.
With 275 mm of unsupported travel, keep side loads off the 10 mm rod: guide the payload externally or couple through an I or Y knuckle, and pick FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets to suit the frame. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
Quick checklist
On a 25 mm bore the rod pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 343.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air feeds through 1/8" ports. Plan real work at about 147 N to leave margin.
Back both needle screws fully off before start-up, then close them gradually until the 275 mm stroke ends smoothly. The variable air cushion works at both ends and suits speeds from 30-800 mm/s within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
