The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X30SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 by design, the MAC25X30SCM pairs a 30 mm stroke with AirTAC's round stainless-steel barrel body: the tube, aluminium covers and stainless block are rolled together into one sealed unit. Double acting with an adjustable air cushion at both ends, it pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Sized correctly, expect roughly 147 N of usable force - enough to lift about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The CM round-end back cover in this code gives a clean pivot point without extra brackets, and the magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip straight on. Hard-chrome plating (20 um) on the rod shrugs off washdown in damp food or packaging lines.

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.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×30 | 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.
Short-stroke push-off on a small assembly jig, where 147 N of working force seats bearings into housings without bruising them.
Swinging a lightweight deflector gate on a bottling line; the twin cushions keep the 30 mm cycle quiet even at high speed.
Drop a CMSG switch on the standard magnet to confirm extend and retract on a carton diverter, no special piston needed.
Need less muscle? The 20 mm bore MAC delivers 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa; step up to the 32 mm bore for 402.2 N. If the valve centres or air drops, the rod coasts freely - a pilot check valve or rod lock holds the load instead. The short 30 mm stroke suits tight clamp positions; order FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware if the CM cover alone does not match your frame.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical ceiling is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
The rolled stainless tube with a hard-chrome plated rod resists corrosion in washdown and outdoor spots better than painted mini bodies. The CM round-end cover gives a pivot without brackets, ports are 1/8", and thread options are PT (blank), G or NPT.
