The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X90SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 90mm 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 the U flat-end back cover, the MAC25X90SU bolts flush to a fixed plate when the load travels in a straight line and no pivot is wanted. Inside, a 25 mm bore makes 245 N forward and 206 N back at 0.5 MPa, or 343 N at 0.7 MPa, as a double-acting unit with adjustable cushioning at both stroke ends; the stainless tube and hard-chrome rod handle damp shop air better than painted barrels.
Lift maths: the 0.5 MPa push equals about 25 kg of vertical force, so keeping a 2:1 margin the cylinder raises roughly 12 kg parts. Cushion needles should be backed off at first run and opened gradually, and the standard magnet suits CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without a special piston.

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. |
| ×90 | 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.
Indexes a sample carousel one station at a time; 206 N pull retracts the pin, and the built-in magnet triggers a DMSG switch at each park position.
Tucks top flaps on 300 mm wide cartons at a packing bench; the U flat-end cover bolts flush to the bench frame and the cushion quiets each tuck.
Ejects stacked dough trays from a bakery forming station; stainless tube and hard-chrome rod wash down without flaking paint.
Compare output before ordering: 20 mm bore gives 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore 245 N, and the 32 mm bore 402 N. The U flat-end cover suits bolt-through fixing to a machine plate; add an FA flange or LB foot if you prefer a separate mounting face, or SDB for a pivot. If a dropped supply must not let the load fall, plan a rod lock or check valve - cushioning is not a brake. The 90 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm standard ceiling for this bore, and the built-in magnet means no special piston is needed for CMSG sensing.
Quick checklist
Rated figures: 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push and 289 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 50 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Back both cushion needle screws off before start-up, then open them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears at your working speed - anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band.
