The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF50X150S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/4" 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.
Ejector strokes, chute gates and sliding covers need reach, and the MARF50X150S supplies 150 mm of it while keeping its front flange integral to the rolled cover. This double-acting 50 mm cylinder delivers 981 N on extension and 881 N on retraction at 0.5 MPa, with variable cushions trimming both stops over a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
Vertically, 981 N equates to about 100 kg, so a 2:1 margin caps sensible lifts near 50 kg. Speeds from 30-800 mm/s stay smooth because each cushion needle tunes its end independently, and the stainless tube plus hard-chrome 16 mm rod survive outdoor and washdown duty. CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches read position off the standard built-in magnet.

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 | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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. |

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.
Kicking formed brackets clear of a stamping die after every stroke; 150 mm clears even deep-formed parts before the next blank feeds in.
Sliding the discharge gate of a flour hopper on a bakery feed line; cushion needles seat the 981 N-driven gate without slamming the frame.
Pushing trays off a cooling conveyor into a stacking magazine; the long stroke spans two tray positions in a single extend cycle.
For a 150 mm move, the 40 mm MARF version offers 628 N at 0.5 MPa if loads are light, and the 63 mm bore reaches 1558 N for heavy hopper gates - 981 N covers the span between them. Long strokes invite rod bending, so carry any side thrust on guided slides rather than on the chrome rod. Note that the cushion only softens the stroke ends; with air off, the piston drifts freely, so a rod lock is the fix for held positions. Mounting and magnet are both built in - nothing extra to order.
Quick checklist
Expect 981 N on push and 881 N on pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N on push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply air spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) through 1/4" ports, the rod thread is M14x1.5, and travel runs at 30-800 mm/s.
It will not. Like any plain double-acting cylinder, the piston drifts when supply pressure is lost - the variable cushion softens the stroke ends but acts as no brake. If a raised cover or gate must stay put, add a rod lock to the package. Mounting needs nothing extra, because the front flange is integral to the front cover.
