The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF40X300S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 300mm 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 travel on a compact round body: this 300 mm stroke MAR runs double acting with variable air cushion at each end and a built-in front flange, so no accessory foot or flange is needed on the machine. Bore 40 delivers 628.3 N extend and 527.8 N retract at 0.5 MPa across the full travel, at speeds of 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.
Chrome-plated 16 mm rod plus stainless barrel keeps corrosion out of damp plants, washdown corners and outdoor gantries where painted minis pit. Vertically this bore lifts about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin (64 kgf raw at 0.5 MPa), and the standard magnet means CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip on without special ordering. Adjust the cushion needles on first run to tame end-of-stroke shock at higher speeds.

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.
300 mm of travel raises a slide gate clear of a hopper outlet; 628 N at 0.5 MPa handles a 30 kg gate with margin, and the cushion settles it home.
The front flange mounts flush to conveyor rail; a full 300 mm stroke shunts parcels between lanes at up to 800 mm/s with damped arrival.
Stainless barrel and chrome rod shrug off the humid washdown around a bakery tray line while ejecting racks the full 300 mm.
Sizing check: a 25 mm MAR manages 245.3 N while a 50 mm bore delivers 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa, so at 628.3 N this 40 mm unit splits the difference for push-pull work over 300 mm. On a long stroke keep side loads off the rod - guide the load externally or the chrome rod will see bending over its 300 mm of exposure. The piston does not hold on air loss; fit a rod lock where position must persist. Order in PT (blank), G or NPT threads; the port is 1/8".
Quick checklist
Extend force is 628.3 N and retract 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 879.6 N and 738.9 N respectively, with a theoretical peak of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and stroke speeds from 30-800 mm/s between -20 and +70 C.
Every MAR ships with the piston magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount anywhere along the barrel to flag extend, retract or mid-stroke on long travel - no special piston, no add-on kit. Pair them with the adjustable cushion needles to smooth the 300 mm stroke ends.
