The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF20X210S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 210mm 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 210 mm of stroke on a slim 20 mm bore, this front-flange MAR covers long-reach jobs where body space is tight. It runs double acting, the cushions at both ends are adjusted by needle screws, and speed spans 30-800 mm/s. Rated push at 0.5 MPa is 157.0 N, rising to 219.8 N at 0.7 MPa.
Because the stainless tube resists corrosion and the 8 mm chrome rod runs in a grease-storing piston seal, it suits wet frames and outdoor machinery. The 157.0 N push equals roughly 16 kg vertically, so for part weights up to about 8 kg you keep a comfortable 2:1 margin. A piston magnet is included as standard, so CMSG or EMSG switches read end positions straight away.

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.

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.
Sweeps cartons sideways on a parcel sorter; 210 mm of travel clears one lane and the cushion softens the hit at each end.
Advances a rack 210 mm between spray stations in a small paint lab; the stainless barrel copes with solvent-laden air.
Raises fixtures weighing up to about 8 kg between levels; keep guides vertical so the 8 mm rod sees pure push and pull.
Between the short 20 mm strokes and the 25 mm bore that reaches 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 210 mm model fills long-reach duty. Side load is the main risk at this length: guide the load externally or fit a Y rod knuckle to protect the 8 mm rod. It will not hold position if supply air drops; a rod lock handles that.
Quick checklist
Stroke does not change force: at 0.5 MPa you get 157.0 N pushing and 131.9 N pulling; at 0.7 MPa, 219.8 N and 184.7 N; theoretical maximum 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The standard stroke window runs to 500 mm, so 210 mm is a catalogue item.
Bolt the built-in front flange to a flat plate, connect the 1/8 ports, then turn the needle screws at each end until the cushion absorbs the load across 30-800 mm/s. On air failure the rod moves freely, so add a rod lock for held positions.
