The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X600SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 600mm 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.
Spanning 600 mm of made-to-order travel, this 25 mm MAC pairs a CA pivot back cover with double-acting air and a variable cushion at each end. It pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 343.4 N push, with a 50 kgf theoretical ceiling for the bore.
The stainless barrel and hard-chromed 10 mm rod keep corrosion out of damp plants and washdown zones better than painted minis. Fully extended the rod could hoist about 25 kg at 0.5 MPa - halve that and you still lift around 12 kg vertically, a handy match for real part weights. Bleed the cushion screws open on first run, then close gradually until end-of-stroke shock disappears.

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.

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.
Swings a sliding machine-guard panel on a pivot mount; the 600 mm travel covers the full doorway opening in one stroke.
Pushes a full stack of sheet-metal blanks out of a storage magazine onto a take-off roller conveyor.
Pivots a deflector arm across a belt line to divert cartons between two downstream lanes.
Size both directions before ordering: bore 20 tops out at 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while bore 32 reaches 402.2 N, bracketing this 25 mm unit's 245.3 N. The 600 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard for this bore, so it is quoted as made to order. Over that unsupported length, guide the load externally - side loads bend the 10 mm rod and chew the seals.
The CA pivot cover plus an optional SDB pivot bracket suits swinging links; FA flange and LB foot cover fixed frames. Without a check valve, dropping air lets the rod coast freely - fit a pilot-operated check to hold it mid-travel.
Quick checklist
Design around 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 343.4 N and the theoretical maximum for a 25 mm bore is 50 kgf. Running pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and speed covers 30-800 mm/s.
Mount the pivot so the load swings in the plane of the rod - any twist across the axis becomes side load on the 10 mm chrome rod. Keep cushions adjustable: open the needle screws at both ends on commissioning and close them step by step until the stroke ends quietly. The stainless barrel shrugs off washdown.
