The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X400SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 400mm 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.
Choose the CM round-end back cover when a rounded pivot connection suits the machine frame - the MAC25X400SCM keeps the 25 mm bore, 400 mm stroke format and 245.3 N / 206.1 N push-pull figures at 0.5 MPa. Double acting, with a variable cushion at each end that you tune with the needle screws.
The 25 kg theoretical vertical column becomes a comfortable 12 kg real-world lift once you apply a 2:1 margin. Construction stays true AirTAC MAC: a stainless tube rolled onto aluminium covers, a 20 um hard-chrome rod, and grease-retaining two-way piston seals. CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop onto the barrel because the magnet is standard, not an option.

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. |
| ×400 | 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.
Sliding a discharge gate open under a seasoning hopper; the stainless surfaces cope with daily hose-down.
Maintaining light tension on a wire pay-off, where about 147 N of working force at 0.5 MPa is the right scale.
Driving a film carriage across a 400 mm wrapping station with cushioned stops protecting the frame.
One step down, the 20 mm bore pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa; one step up, the 32 mm pushes 402.2 N - pick by load, not habit. Over 400 mm of stroke, guide the load separately so the 10 mm rod never sees bending. The cylinder holds nothing once air is removed: the piston free-drifts, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for suspended or clamped work. Alongside the CM round-end cover you can order FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets, and PT ports come standard with G and NPT as options.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 245.3 N push, 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 343.4 N push, 288.5 N pull. Theoretical peak: 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The double-acting piston runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), is proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and travels 30-800 mm/s.
The CM round-end back cover suits rounded pivot connections without fabricating brackets. The piston magnet is included as standard on this MAC, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip straight on. Rod thread is M10x1.25 and the 10 mm rod is hard-chrome plated for wear life.
