The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF25X100S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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 25 mm bore moving 245 N at 0.5 MPa over 100 mm makes the MARF25X100S the workhorse of the small MAR line. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, and the front flange is part of the cylinder itself, so mounting needs no extra bracket kit.
Derate to roughly 147 N of sustained working force at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod cope with damp and lightly corrosive air where painted minis corrode, and at 0.7 MPa the same bore reaches 343 N of push for shorter, punchier cycles.

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.

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.
Presses small sintered bushings into housings on a bench press; 245 N at 0.5 MPa seats parts over a 100 mm draw with the cushion easing the seat.
Opens and closes a slide gate under a 20 L ingredient hopper; pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa retracts the gate against light product load.
Raises a stopper to hold a plastic tote on a gravity pick lane, then drops to release; about 12 kg vertical capacity covers the stopper arm.
Step down to the 20 mm bore if 157 N at 0.5 MPa suffices, or up to the 32 mm bore (402 N) when 245 N is not enough. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M10x1.25. Position is not held on air loss - the piston coasts freely once supply pressure decays, so a rod lock is the answer where loads must stay parked. The standard magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches, and at 100 mm of travel keep side loads off the 10 mm rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 245 N push and 206 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 343 N push and 289 N pull. Theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends and runs 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.
The F front bracket is part of the rolled cylinder body, so the MARF25X100S bolts flush to a machine plate without buying or aligning a separate foot or flange accessory, which shortens installation on compact fixtures.
