The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF63X100S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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.
Topping the MA range, the MARF63X100S converts 0.5 MPa (72 psi) shop air into 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull across a 100 mm stroke, double acting with a variable cushion at each end. A stainless-steel barrel is rolled onto aluminium-alloy covers around a 16 mm hard-chrome plated rod, giving the riveted round body real corrosion resistance without any paint to chip.
For sizing, treat about 935 N as the working push at 0.5 MPa - roughly 60% of the rating - which will lift a 79 kg part vertically with a 2:1 margin. The dual needle-screw cushions soak up end-of-stroke shock, so a heavy slide can run near the top of the 30-800 mm/s band without hammering the covers. A magnet is built in as standard, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches signal position straight out of the box.

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 | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| MAR | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, integrated mount, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| F | Front-cover mount: F = front-flange mounting. |
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | 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.
Clamps aluminium gearbox housings against a fixture on a machining line; 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa holds the part square without marking it.
Presses bronze bushings into pump housings on a small bench press; at 0.7 MPa the bore reaches 2181.0 N, enough for light interference fits.
Stops and releases loaded pallets on a roller conveyor; the 100 mm stroke matches gate travel and the cushions take the impact of each pallet.
At 0.5 MPa a 50 mm MAR manages 981.3 N of push, so drop a size if your load needs under about 90 kg; 63 mm is the top of the range and nothing steps up from it. Air ports are 1/4 in and the rod thread is M14x1.5, so I or Y knuckles still fit. This cylinder drifts when air is lost - it is not a lock - so add a rod lock if the load must stay put through a power cut.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N. At 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull, and the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 317.7 kgf. Size the fixture around the 0.5 MPa numbers unless your supply reliably runs 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
The barrel is stainless steel and the 16 mm rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plate, so occasional washdown, condensation and outdoor rain are not a problem the way they are for painted mini cylinders. The covers are aluminium alloy and the joints are rolled, so there is no coating to chip. It is a durable construction choice rather than a certified washdown rating - keep hose pressure and detergents reasonable.
