The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X60SCM 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.
With 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the MAC25X60SCM sits in the mid-force band of AirTAC's round-body MA mini cylinders, double acting with a variable air cushion at each end. The 25 mm stainless barrel carries a built-in magnet as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount with no special-order piston.
The CM round-end back cover pins straight into a clevis or swing link, avoiding an extra bracket. Lift-wise, 245.3 N equates to about 25 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin the bore lifts roughly 12 kg vertically - a handy match for fixture weights. The riveted stainless tube with hard-chrome rod also tolerates damp shop air and periodic washdown better than painted minis.

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.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | 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.
Swinging a clamp arm clear of a weld cell fixture; the CM round-end pin suits the clevis link and 245.3 N holds light steel parts in place.
Lowering a sampling scoop 60 mm into a process stream on a pilot rig, where the stainless barrel handles splashes and the magnet runs DMSG position switches.
Pulling a glue nozzle back from a carton blank between cycles; 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the head quickly and the air cushion avoids recoil.
Downsize to 20 mm (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) for light clamps or upsize to 32 mm (402.2 N) when 245.3 N leaves no margin on your job. The CM round-end cover pins directly into a clevis or swing link, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets plus I and Y knuckles extend the mounting options. The magnet is built in as standard for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. Because the piston is free to move once air is removed, any load that must stay put calls for a rod lock or pilot check valve upstream.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 245.3 N and pull is 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa expect 343.4 N pushing and 288.5 N pulling, with a 50 kgf theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/8 inch port, 10 mm rod with M10x1.25 thread, double acting with variable cushions at both ends.
No. The magnet comes built in on every MA-series cylinder as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip straight onto the 25 mm stainless barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling without ordering a special piston.
