The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X300SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 300mm 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.
Long reach in a small package: the MAC25X300SCM pairs a 25 mm bore with 300 mm of stroke in AirTAC's round-body mini format. 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 as loads or speeds climb. At 0.5 MPa the piston pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N. The barrel is stainless steel rolled tight against aluminium-alloy covers, and the 10 mm carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome skin, so damp washdown air does not chew the body the way it does painted minis. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
Practical sizing: on real work plan for roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating - about the effort needed to slide a loaded 15 kg carton along a roller lane with margin. Hang weight from the rod and it will lift about 12 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin. The CM round-end back cover takes a pivot pin straight out of the box, and because the magnet is built in as standard, CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston. Running speed spans 30-800 mm/s on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.

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.
Slides hot baking trays off a rack conveyor at the oven exit; the 300 mm reach clears the rack depth and the stainless barrel stands up to humid heat.
Pushes 10-15 kg shipping cartons across a sorter lane; the variable cushion stops the pusher head from slamming at full extension.
Drops a pivot-mounted stop into a gravity roller lane in a distribution centre; the CM round-end cover pins straight to the gate lever.
Size against the family: a 20 mm bore of the same series pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa and the 32 mm bore reaches 402.2 N, so this 25 mm barrel sits in the middle for carton and gate work in the 15 to 40 kg class. A plain double-acting cylinder cannot hold its own against gravity or back pressure - centre the valve and the 300 mm rod will drift - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve whenever the extended position must be kept. The CM round-end back cover takes a pivot pin directly, with FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket available on the same ordering code. At 300 mm of stroke, guide the load on external rails rather than letting the 10 mm hard-chrome rod absorb side force; air connects through 1/8" ports and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 343.4 N. The theoretical ceiling is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and the cylinder runs 30-800 mm/s.
The round barrel is stainless steel, rolled and riveted against aluminium-alloy covers, and the 10 mm rod is hard-chrome plated to about 20 um. That combination tolerates washdown splashes and humid plant air far better than painted-steel minis.
