The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF25X130S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 130mm 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.
Front-mounted and cushioned at both ends, the MARF25X130S is AirTAC's double-acting round mini cylinder in the 25 mm class: 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa (about 72 psi), delivered through a 10 mm hard-chrome plated rod.
Its aluminium covers and stainless block are rolled onto the stainless barrel, a riveted construction that keeps the joint sealed through damp or lightly washed-down conditions where painted minis blister. In practical terms the same 0.5 MPa supply supports roughly 147 N of working force, or a vertical lift of about 12 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. The piston magnet ships standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches attach without special ordering.

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.

| F | Front-cover mount: F = front-flange mounting. |
| 25 | 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.
Pushing stacked bakery trays off a rack guide is a 206 N retract job here; the 130 mm stroke matches a standard tray pitch so trays clear fully each cycle.
Clamping a 250 x 180 mm board into a bed-of-nails fixture takes roughly 147 N of controlled force, with the cushion preventing contact bounce.
Reciprocating a spray gun across a 130 mm window in a paint booth suits the 30-800 mm/s speed band, and booth humidity favors the stainless barrel.
The smaller MAR 20 bore gives 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while 32 mm reaches 402.2 N for heavier jobs. If the fixture must hold a part when air drops, this cylinder will not: the piston drifts, and its cushion only eases the final millimetres, so fit a rod lock where holding matters. The flange is already on the front cover, so there is no foot bracket to order, position feedback rides on the standard piston magnet, and the 1/8 inch ports take an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
Quick checklist
Extend force is 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa; retract is 206.1 N and 288.5 N at the same two pressures. Maximum theoretical output is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply air filtered to 40 um between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Better than most minis its size. The barrel is stainless steel, the rod is carbon steel hard-chrome plated to 20 um, and the covers are rolled on rather than tied, leaving no loose tie rods to corrode or work loose. It is not a sealed IP67 unit, so avoid direct jetting, but humid rooms, splashes and regular wipe-downs are well within its comfort zone.
