The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X35SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 35mm 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.
The MAC25X35SCA pairs a 25 mm stainless barrel with a 35 mm stroke and a CA pivot back cover, so the rod can swing with the linkage instead of fighting it. Double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi supply), reaching 50 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa.
Plan real work at roughly 147 N at 0.5 MPa once headroom is allowed, which lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The riveted round body shrugs off washdown and damp plant air far better than painted minis, and the piston ships with a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on with no special order.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×35 | 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.
The CA pivot lets this short-stroke MAC drive a hinged test-gate or hopper latch directly, and 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a light gate arm.
A 35 mm stroke punches cartons off a small conveyor, and the cushioned ends let you run up to 600 mm/s without hammering the covers.
Benchtop test rigs use the pivot mount to clamp tilted samples, and the stainless barrel wipes clean after spills and splash.
At 35 mm stroke this bore sits between the MAC20X35 (157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the MAC32X35 (402.2 N). If your jig needs the rod to pivot, the CA back cover does it directly; fixed frames take the U or CM cover instead, with FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets as extras. A plain MAC drifts when air drops, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock where the load must stay put. Ports are 1/8 inch, rod thread M10x1.25, rod 10 mm.
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. Theoretical maximum is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - every MAC ships with a magnet built into the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount on the barrel without a special-order piston. Back the cushion needle screws off before first run, then open them gradually.
