The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF20X275S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 275mm 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.
Built around a front flange that is part of the head itself, the MARF20X275S is a 20 mm bore, 275 mm stroke round-body mini cylinder. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so end-of-stroke shock can be tuned out with the needle screws on first run. At 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi) the bore pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N.
The barrel is stainless steel rolled onto aluminium-alloy covers with a hard-chrome plated rod, a riveted round-body build that shrugs off washdown and damp shop air better than painted mini cylinders. At this force class the practical figure is about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which covers light clamping and part-pushing duty with margin.

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.

| F | Front-cover mount: F = front-flange mounting. |
| 20 | Bore size 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.
157 N at 0.5 MPa is enough to kick underfilled 500 ml bottles off a narrow conveyor within the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
The front flange bolts directly to the press plate, and about 94 N of working force seats snap lids without crushing them.
The built-in magnet drives a CMSG switch to confirm gate position, and the dual air cushion quiets each stop.
Twenty millimetres is the smallest MAR bore; if 157 N at 0.5 MPa feels thin, step to the 25 mm bore (245 N) or 32 mm bore (402 N) at the same pressure. The magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount straight onto the barrel. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock if the position must hold. At 275 mm of travel keep side loads off the 8 mm rod and guide the payload externally; I and Y rod knuckles thread onto the M8x1.25 male thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore pushes 157.0 N and pulls 131.9 N. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and push rises to 219.8 N with pull at 184.7 N. Theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 32.0 kgf. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, with a 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread.
No. The F in MARF20X275S means the front-flange mount is carried on the front cover itself, so the cylinder bolts straight to the machine without ordering a separate flange or foot. The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome rod also make it a fit for washdown-prone corners.
