Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X60SCA
A 60 mm stroke on a 25 mm bore makes the MAC25X60SCA a mid-force mini cylinder: double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, pushing 245.3 N and pulling 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The magnet comes built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel.
Both cushions let you run the 30-800 mm/s speed band into the stops without hammering the aluminium-alloy covers. Plan on roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa and keep the rest as reserve for friction and seals. The CA pivot back cover takes a swinging pin mount directly, and the riveted stainless-steel tube with hard-chrome rod shrugs off washdown and mild corrosion far better than a painted mini.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X60SCA Is Used
Index dial swing arm
Swinging a parts nest 60 mm between stations on a rotary indexing table, with the CA pivot pin taking the arc directly and CMSG switches confirming each stop.
Carton lane pusher
Kicking small cartons off a sorting conveyor lane; 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa clears a 2 kg pack easily and the air cushion tames the return stop.
Sleeve wrap gate
Opening and closing a 60 mm swing gate on a shrink-sleeve machine, where the stainless barrel copes with splash far better than a painted body.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
A 20 mm bore gives 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to 32 mm brings 402.2 N - so 25 mm fits mid loads near 147 N of real work. The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin with no bracket, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts and I and Y rod knuckles cover the fixed and tooling side. The standard magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signals. The rod does not hold position when air is lost or the valve centres, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X60SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), -20 to +70 C, speed 30-800 mm/s. Port is 1/8 inch, rod 10 mm, rod thread M10x1.25.
Back both cushion needle screws fully off before start-up, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke shock disappears. The cushion is variable, not a fixed bumper, and it is not a brake - the rod still drifts if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
