The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF40X200S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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.
At 200 mm of stroke, the MARF40X200S covers longer transfer moves while keeping the compact footprint of a riveted round-body mini cylinder. Push force at 0.5 MPa is 628.3 N with 527.8 N on the return, and the variable cushion at each end absorbs the energy of faster cycles.
Because the flange is part of the front cover, there is no loose bracket to align - the cylinder bolts flush to the plate. The 628.3 N rating translates to about 377 N of dependable working force once margin is allowed, or a vertical lift of roughly 32 kg at a 2:1 ratio. A magnet built in as standard pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG reed switches for end-of-stroke signalling.

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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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. |
| 40 | 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.
Folding bottom flaps on a case packer, where the 200 mm stroke reaches across mixed box widths and the flange mounts directly to the folding head.
Opening and closing slide gates under powder or granulate hoppers; 628 N of push shears modest bridging loads without a separate mounting bracket.
Pushing layers or single packs off a palletizer table across a 200 mm sweep, with cushioned stops protecting layer alignment.
If the load is lighter, the 32 mm MARF gives 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; a 50 mm bore raises output to 981.3 N for heavier clamping. With 200 mm of unsupported rod, add external guides whenever the load is not rigidly carried - bending moments eat rod seal life. The piston drifts freely when supply pressure drops, so a separate rod lock cylinder is the answer where position must hold. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s; order G or NPT ports at purchase if PT does not suit your plant.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628.3 N extend, 527.8 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 879.6 N extend, 738.9 N retract. Theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Air should be filtered to 40 um and regulated between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The barrel is stainless steel rolled tight over aluminium-alloy covers, with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod, so it copes with damp, splash and periodic washdown far better than painted-steel minis. Ports are 1/8 inch and the rod thread is M12x1.25.
