The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF20X140S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 140mm 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.
Need just under 150 mm of reach from the smallest MAR bore? The MARF20X140S gives 140 mm of double-acting stroke on a 20 mm piston, cushioned at both ends and flanged at the front cover for direct bolting. Force output is 157.0 N extending and 131.9 N retracting at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect up to 219.8 N.
Derate to roughly 94 N for everyday work at 0.5 MPa and the cylinder will hoist about 8 kg vertically on a 2:1 factor. The rolled stainless barrel, aluminium covers and 20 um chrome-plated rod suit wet or dusty corners of a plant that would eat a painted body, and the integral magnet is wired-ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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 | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| MAR | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, integrated mount, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| F | Front-cover mount: F = front-flange mounting. |
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×140 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
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.
Nudges a stop fence along a woodworking jig between batch changes; the front flange mounts flush under the table edge with no bracket stack.
Opens a bin-release gate on a picking shelf; 157 N of push is far above the torque this small gate needs, so response stays quick at low pressure.
Applies a gentle pressing load in a classroom test rig; the adjustable cushion gives students a controlled, damped approach to the sample.
Compared with the 125-135 mm siblings this length adds reach without a bigger bore, but the slender 8 mm rod over 140 mm means external guiding is essential if the load can tilt. For heavier duty the 25 mm MAR starts at 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Remember the piston free-drifts when air is lost, so a rod lock is needed for suspended loads.
Quick checklist
Push 157.0 N and pull 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a 32.0 kgf theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The F in the code is a front-flange bracket built into the cover, so the cylinder face bolts to a machine plate with no extra flange kit. The magnet comes as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches snap onto the stainless tube for end-of-stroke signalling without any special-order piston.
