The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X80SU 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.
A double-acting round-body mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends, the MAC25X80SU moves its 10 mm rod through an 80 mm stroke on air alone - there is no spring return. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N, enough muscle for ejecting bushings, clamping light fixtures or actuating small gates.
The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and damp shop air far better than painted-steel minis. Plan real work at roughly 147 N rather than the full 245.3 N rating, and note the rod lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - so a loaded 8 kg nest sits well inside its comfort zone.

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. |
| ×80 | 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.
Kicks finished aluminium bushings out of a drill jig after each cycle; the 80 mm stroke clears the nest and 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa seats the part against the stop without marring it.
Swings a deflector gate on a small-parts conveyor to route rejected nylon fittings into a bin, with the both-end air cushion absorbing the gate's momentum at each stop.
Presses wooden dowels into chair legs at a furniture workshop; about 147 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa is ample for glued joints in softwood.
Size down to the MAC20X80 (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter cycles, or step up to the MAC32X80 (402.2 N) when a fixture needs more clamping force. A plain double-acting MAC does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve on any held load. The U flat-end back cover bolts to fixed plates without an adapter, and every unit ships with a built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Keep the rod coupling aligned to limit side load across the 80 mm stroke.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 343.4 N and pull to 288.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 25 mm bore runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air, works from -20 to +70 C at 30-800 mm/s, and has 1/8" ports with an M10x1.25 male rod thread on a 10 mm rod.
The U flat-end back cover lets you bolt the cylinder straight to a machine plate, and the magnet is already fitted as standard - no special piston needed - so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches clamp on the barrel to signal end positions. On first start-up, back the cushion needle screws off fully and open them gradually to tune the both-end air cushion.
