The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X5SUFA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 5mm 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.
A compact 5 mm throw on a 25 mm bore: the MAC25X5SUFA is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, pushing 245.3 N and pulling 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa (343.4 N and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, 50 kgf theoretical max). With FA flange mounting and a flat-end U back cover, it bolts flat against a fixture plate.
The rolled stainless barrel shrugs off washdown and mild corrosion where painted minis blister, and the hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod resists scoring. Plan on roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating - about a 12 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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. |
| ×5 | 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.
Holds an aluminium bracket against a drilling jig for one short 5 mm clamping move - 245 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for light fixture work.
Flicks off-label bottles sideways at a sorting station; the tiny stroke gives a fast, low-shock nudge between sensors.
Presses a sensing plate onto folded carton flaps so the PLC confirms latching before the filling head comes down.
Compare across the range before committing: a bore 20 MAC delivers 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 32 mm bore reaches 402.2 N, so this 25 mm model sits mid-table. The 5 mm stroke is standard (this bore takes up to 500 mm). Ports are 1/8" on both covers and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
Note the piston drifts whenever the valve centres or air drops - a rod lock or pilot check valve is the fix where a clamp must stay shut. The magnet is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches bolt straight on for end-of-stroke signals.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa those become 343.4 N and 288.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Rod diameter is 10 mm with M10x1.25 male thread, ports are 1/8", and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
No. The magnet is built into every MAC piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel. The cylinder also carries a variable air cushion at both ends - back the needle screws off on first run, then close them gradually.
