The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF25X15S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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 short-thrust workhorse, the MARF25X15S pairs a 25 mm bore with just 15 mm of travel in a riveted stainless round barrel. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, and the front flange bracket is already part of the front cover, so no separate flange hardware is needed. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 343.4 N. Rated 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 30-800 mm/s speed.
Keep real work near 147 N (0.6 x the 245.3 N rating) and the cylinder will cycle all day without leaning on its limit. The hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod over a carbon-steel core shrugs off washdown and damp air better than painted minis, and because the magnet is built in as standard, CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on. Air ports are 1/8 in. and the rod thread is M10x1.25.

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. |

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.
Kicking a machined bushing off a locating pin on a small CNC fixture, where 15 mm of travel and about 147 N of usable push are exactly enough.
Toggling a locking pin on a packaging machine carousel; the F flange mounts the round barrel flush against the frame plate.
Apply a quick 245 N press to a sample or switch in a lab rig, with the cushion damping the contact so the part is not slapped.
At 245.3 N push on a 25 mm bore, step down to a 20 mm MAR (157 N at 0.5 MPa) if your load is under about 90 N, or step up to a 32 mm bore (402.2 N) above roughly 240 N of real work. The 15 mm stroke suits clamping and ejecting rather than long transfers. Like any double-acting cylinder it drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock where a position must survive a drop in pressure. I and Y rod knuckles thread onto the M10x1.25 male rod, and the integrated flange bolts the barrel straight to the machine.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures are 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. Air ports are 1/8 in., the rod is 10 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread, and operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The F version carries its mounting bracket on the front cover itself, so the cylinder bolts to a plate without ordering a separate foot or flange. On first run, turn the needle screws at each end to set the variable cushion; a 15 mm stroke still benefits when the cycle is fast, since the piston stops hard at 800 mm/s.
