The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X80SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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.
Round ends, riveted seams and a 25 mm stainless barrel describe the MAC25X80SCM: a double-acting mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at each end of its 80 mm stroke. Rated push is 245 N at 0.5 MPa and pull 206 N, climbing to 343 N and 288 N at 0.7 MPa; the ceiling is 50 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa.
The CM round-end cover bolts flat to machine plates with no adaptor hardware, and the standard built-in magnet picks up CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signals. Keep working force near 147 N at 0.5 MPa - about a 12 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin - and the grease-storing piston seal keeps the bore slick through years of cycling.

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.

| 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.
The round end bolts straight to the machine frame, and the cushion eases each 3 kg carton to a halt without denting the blanks.
Interlocks a tote lift platform moving 12 kg loads between levels; a pilot check valve keeps the gate from sagging if air pressure is lost.
Clamps 80 mm medical tubing samples on a wet test bench; the chrome-plated rod and stainless barrel resist the moisture that pits ordinary minis.
Between the 20 mm bore at 157 N and the 32 mm at 402 N (both at 0.5 MPa), this 25 mm barrel is the mid pick for an 80 mm stroke. CM round-end mounting pairs with an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket, while I or Y knuckles on the M10x1.25 rod add a pivot where the load needs one. Air ports are two 1/8"; remember that when the valve centres or air drops, the rod drifts - a pilot check valve or rod lock is what holds position.
Quick checklist
Figures to size against: push 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, push 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa, and a 50 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-800 mm/s, and the 1/8" ports feed both cushioned chambers.
No - the MAC is double acting with no internal lock, so a centred valve or lost supply lets the piston drift. For loads that must stay put, fit a pilot check valve in the line or specify a rod-lock variant, and never treat the end cushion as a brake; it only softens the last of the stroke.
