The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X560SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 560mm 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 MAC25X560SU pairs a long 560 mm travel with the 25 mm MAC bore, pushing 245.3 N and pulling 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa. This is a double-acting round-body cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends, and the 560 mm length is a non-standard stroke built to order. In practice, plan on roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - about 60 percent of the push rating - which is a vertical lift of about 12 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Its stainless-steel barrel carries a hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod, so the body stands up to damp and washdown spots far better than painted-steel minis. The U flat-end back cover gives a fixed mount without extra brackets, and the built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight onto the barrel with no special-order piston.

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 diverter gate across a wide belt section on a bottling line, where the 147 N usable push at 0.5 MPa moves a light gate smoothly over the full 560 mm.
Raising a 10 kg gauge fixture vertically at a QC bench, with the 25 mm bore holding a 2:1 margin on the 12 kg lift class and the cushion softening the landing.
Sweeping aluminium offcuts from a 560 mm saw-drop chute on a profile cutting cell, with the stainless barrel handling coolant mist around the saw.
If 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 20 mm bore MAC delivers 157.0 N; when the load climbs past what the 402.2 N from a 32 mm bore can spare, step up again. At 560 mm of travel, keep side loads off the rod and guide the load externally, since rod bending grows quickly over a long stroke. Like every double-acting MAC, the piston drifts once air is removed or the valve centres, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must stay put. The SU code selects the flat U back cover; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets and PT, G or NPT threads are specified with the order.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures are 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum for this 25 mm bore is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof at 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed runs 30-800 mm/s, and the cylinder is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end.
The 25 mm bore takes 1/8" ports and the 10 mm rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread; PT is standard, with G and NPT as order options. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod shrug off washdown, the 560 mm stroke is made to order, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
