The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF25X85S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 85mm 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.
AirTAC's flange-front take on the MA round mini, the MARF25X85S delivers 85 mm of stroke from a 25 mm bore that pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. Supply spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
Riveted construction seals a stainless barrel to aluminium covers, an arrangement that copes with damp food-plant air where painted minis rust. Every unit ships magnet-equipped for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG feedback, and the piston's two-way seal stores its own grease between services. Size continuous work against about 147 N, or a 12 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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. |
| ×85 | Stroke length 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.
Advances filled sachets into a crimp station on a tea-bag line, the flange bolting straight to the chute wall.
Feeds a small drilling slide 85 mm into aluminium housings at up to 800 mm/s, with cushioned stops at both ends.
Raises a 12 kg locating-pin block on an assembly bench, sized with a 2:1 vertical margin against the bore's capability.
Bore sizing check: 20 mm offers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm reaches 245.3 N, and 32 mm jumps to 402.2 N - so the 25 mm class fits light clamps and small lifts. It will sag the moment air pressure drops, so plan a rod lock for any hold-in-place duty.
The front flange plus M10x1.25 rod thread accept I or Y knuckle joints, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG or EMSG switches; the 85 mm stroke tolerates modest misalignment but not deliberate side loading.
Quick checklist
Push 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; push 343.4 N and pull 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/8" ports, M10x1.25 rod thread.
It will not. This is a plain double-acting cylinder, so the piston settles whenever pressure drops - the cushion only softens the final part of travel. For suspended or clamped loads that must stay put, pair it with a rod lock or a locking-valve circuit.
