The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X530SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 530mm 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.
At 530 mm this stroke runs past the 500 mm standard limit, so the MAC25X530SCA is made to order - same 25 mm bore, same 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The double-acting round body cushions both ends with adjustable air and accepts a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply at 30-800 mm/s.
A stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod keeps a long, thin rod working through splash and humidity. The CA back cover adds an integral pivot eye, so the cylinder can swing with the mechanism instead of fighting it side-on. Keep thrust honest: budget about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (60% of rating), roughly a 12 kg vertical lift with margin, and guide the load externally because a bare 530 mm rod bends under side load.

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.

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.
A 530 mm reach sweeps product across a wide conveyor to a second lane; the CA pivot eye lets the gate arm follow the chute angle without rod binding.
Lifting empty trays clear of a vertical magazine needs a long pull - 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa handles the cycle while the cushion eases the top of stroke.
Sliding a long booth or oven door open, the cylinder rides a pivot mount so door sag does not side-load the 10 mm chrome rod; 147 N of working force moves a balanced leaf.
Long strokes magnify side load - align the cylinder with the travel path or add external guides to protect the 10 mm rod. If 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa is short, the bore 32 version reaches 402.2 N; a bore 20 cylinder (157.0 N) suits lighter runs. Drift is normal whenever air is off, so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock for loads that must hold. The magnet is standard for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and FA flange or LB foot brackets mount the long body.
Quick checklist
The 530 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard limit for bore 25, so it is a made-to-order build. Force figures stay the same as any bore 25: 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, 50 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa, 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread.
The CA pivot eye lets the cylinder body rotate with the mechanism, absorbing the small alignment errors that a 530 mm rod otherwise turns into side load and wear. Set the needle screws on both cushions before commissioning so the long stroke decelerates smoothly instead of jarring the pivot at either end.
