The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF25X450S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 450mm 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.
Long, light pushes are this model's territory. The MARF25X450S is a 25 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder with a 450 mm stroke, variable air cushions on both covers and a front flange that is part of the body rather than a bolt-on accessory. Expect 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, within a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply and a 30-800 mm/s speed window.
Because the magnet is standard, position feedback via CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches costs nothing extra. Working effort lands near 147 N once you keep a healthy margin under the 0.5 MPa rating, which equates to a 12 kg vertical lift, and the grease-retaining two-way seal holds lubrication across the full 450 mm of travel.

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.
Slides a safety gate across a picking aisle; the 450 mm reach covers a standard pallet opening and the cushion quiets the latch.
Feeds empty trays into a cartoner infeed chain, with the stainless barrel tolerating the humid infeed area.
Extends a stop blade to index totes on an accumulation line; the standard magnet flags blade position back to the PLC.
Compare by force: a 20 mm bore offers about 157 N at 0.5 MPa and a 32 mm bore 402.2 N; this 25 mm sits between at 245.3 N (288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa). Connections are 1/8 inch, the rod is 10 mm with M10x1.25 thread.
With 450 mm of exposed rod, side loads are the main risk, so guide the payload in its own slide and keep thrust in line with the bore axis. The cylinder does not lock position on air loss, so specify a rod lock for hanging or held loads. No separate FA or LB mounting is possible or needed; the F front flange is formed into the front cover.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 245.3 N and pull is 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 343.4 N. Theoretical maximum output of the 25 mm bore is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Port size is 1/8 inch.
The F in MARF25X450S means a front-flange bracket formed on the cylinder itself; you bolt the flange to your machine and no separate foot or flange accessory exists for MAR. I and Y rod knuckles still thread onto the M10x1.25 rod if the load needs a swivel.
