The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X350SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 350mm 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.
Rounded at the rear, the MAC25X350SCM carries a CM cover whose round end suits pivot or eye mounts in tight frames. The body underneath is classic MA: a stainless-steel tube riveted to aluminium covers, a 10 mm hard-chrome plated rod, and double-acting power with a variable air cushion at each end, so you can dial out stroke-end shock and run faster or carry heavier loads without hammering the covers.
Force-wise the 25 mm bore delivers 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 50 kgf at full 1.0 MPa pressure. Keep the real duty near 147 N and the seals will thank you. Hanging a load on the rod, expect about 25 kg of vertical lift, or 12 kg with a 2:1 factor built in. The magnet comes standard, so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switch simply slides over the barrel. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.
Opens and closes a slide gate under a batch hopper, with the air cushion softening the slam as the gate seats home.
Raising a light curing-oven door of around 12 kg leaves a 2:1 lift margin against the 25 kg this bore can hoist.
Pushes a scraper carriage along a laboratory blending trough where the stainless barrel copes with daily washdown.
If 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa is more than your task needs, the 20 mm MA gives 157 N; if it falls short, step up to the 32 mm and its 402.2 N. The CM round-end cover takes an eye mount directly, and FA flange or SDB pivot accessories bolt on when the machine layout changes. Because a double-acting piston holds nothing once supply drops, fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put. The 350 mm rod should be side-load free - hang the load on its own guide. Ports are 1/8-inch and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa the cylinder reaches 343.4 N extending and 288.5 N retracting, with 50 kgf as the theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Supply it with 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um and stroke speeds of 30-800 mm/s are available.
The barrel is stainless steel and the 10 mm rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, so splash, humidity and outdoor exposure that would ruin a painted mini cylinder are handled without drama. The aluminium covers are riveted to the tube, leaving no tie-rod seams for grime to work into.
