The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X380SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 380mm 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 MAC25X380SCA pairs a 25 mm bore with a long 380 mm stroke in AirTAC's riveted round-body MAC series. Double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it delivers 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa. Plan on roughly 147 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa so the cylinder stays in its comfort zone.
The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and mild corrosion, an edge over painted minis in damp food areas. The CA pivot back cover swings freely on a fixed pin, and because the magnet is built in as standard, CMSG or DMSG switches snap on for end-of-stroke signalling.

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.

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.
Riveting small terminals in electronics subassemblies, where 245 N at 0.5 MPa is ample and the adjustable cushion protects the die.
Kicking cartons between lanes on a 380 mm travel - one stroke reaches across the whole lane.
Opening and closing a hood or chute gate, with the pivot CA cover taking up slight frame misalignment.
Size the 25 mm bore between the 20 mm (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) when loads are light, and the 32 mm (402.2 N) when you need headroom. At 380 mm the rod is long, so guide the load externally and keep side forces low to avoid bending the 10 mm rod. The cylinder will not hold position when the valve centres or air drops - fit a pilot check valve or rod lock if the load must stay put. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt straight on, and the standard magnet means no special-order piston for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing.
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. Supply clean air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), run 30-800 mm/s, and note the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes. Every MAC25X380SCA ships with a built-in piston magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel for position feedback. The air cushion at each end is variable - back the needle screws off on first run, then close them gradually to soften deceleration.
