The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X40SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm 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.
Round tail, round duties: the CM back cover on the MAC25X40SCM gives a clean cylindrical end for pivot lugs or simple through-bolts. Inside, the 25 mm bore runs double acting with adjustable air cushioning at both stops, producing 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 343 N at 0.7 MPa.
Every unit ships with the position-sensing magnet already in the piston, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches are drop-on accessories, not a special order. For vertical use, the 245 N rating translates to about 25 kg of theoretical lift, or roughly 12.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel shrugs off splash and washdown that would corrode coated-steel minis.

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.

| 0.7 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.

Warm, humid air around industrial ovens corrodes painted minis fast; this stainless barrel with a round CM tail latches and releases the door, cushioned so the latch never slams.
With 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa the rod kicks finished parts out of a trim fixture; the round-end cover bolts directly to the die shoe without adapter plates.
A rubber pad on the rod presses glue syringes at a controlled 147 N working force; the two-way piston seal stores grease, keeping maintenance rare in a busy dispensing cell.
Compare the 20 mm bore (157 N at 0.5 MPa) against the 32 mm bore (402 N) before locking in 25 mm; if either end of the range fits, take it. Port size for this bore is 1/8 in with an M10x1.25 rod thread. Do not expect the cylinder to hold position when pressure drops - the piston coasts, so add a check valve or rod lock for held loads. The CM round-end cover bolts straight to pivot ears or flat plates, and the standard magnet drops onto CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 245 N against a 206 N pull; raise pressure to 0.7 MPa and those become 343 N push and 289 N pull. At the 1.0 MPa ceiling the theoretical maximum is 50 kgf. The operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The barrel is stainless steel and the rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, so the cylinder tolerates humid, splashy and periodically washed environments far better than painted minis. The heterogeneous piston seals also store grease, extending service intervals. For any specific food-grade certification, confirm from datasheet.
