The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF25X25S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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.
Short, precise movements are what the MARF25X25S does best: 25 mm of stroke on a 25 mm bore, front flange mount and AirTAC's riveted round-barrel construction. It is double acting with variable cushions at both ends, delivering 245 N of push and 206 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
The stainless tube and hard-chrome rod stand up to coolant mist and washdown that corrode painted mini cylinders quickly. Keep continuous work near 147 N of the 245 N rating - roughly a 12 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - and use the standard-fit piston magnet with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to confirm the short 25 mm move actually completed.

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.
Locks aluminium workpieces into a drilling jig with a 25 mm clamp throw; the front flange pulls the cylinder tight against the jig plate with four screws.
Acts as the stop pin on a rotary indexing assembly table, confirming each of the eight stations through a CMSG switch read from the built-in piston magnet.
Lowers a dispensing nozzle onto circuit boards for glue dots; the end cushions stop the head bottoming out cycle after cycle on the SMT line.
For a 25 mm throw, check whether the 20 mm MAR at 157 N push already does the job; move to the 32 mm MAR at 402 N when clamping forces climb. This bore's 245 N push and 206 N pull give comfortable headroom for pin and clamp duty at 0.5 MPa. Short strokes like 25 mm rarely stress the rod, but keep the front flange face square to the load so the 10 mm chrome rod is not driven sideways. With no air the piston sits wherever it stopped - it is not a holding device, so use a rod lock if the clamp must stay shut through a pressure drop.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s. Air ports are 1/8-inch and the 10 mm rod threads M10x1.25.
Yes - the barrel is a stainless steel tube rolled onto aluminium covers with a stainless block, and the 10 mm rod carries 20 um of hard chrome. That combination resists splash, mist and humid air in food and packaging areas far better than painted mini cylinders, though it is not a certified sanitary fitting.
