Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF63X160S
The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF63X160S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF63X160S
Built around its own front flange, the MARF63X160S needs no added bracket: bolt the riveted flange to the machine and the 63 mm bore goes to work, pushing 1557.9 N and pulling 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi) through a 160 mm stroke. Double acting with variable cushions, it runs on air filtered to 40 um within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod handle outdoor and food-area humidity far better than painted minis. Keep the working push near 935 N at 0.5 MPa for long service life - that lifts roughly 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 factor. A magnet comes built in, so DMSG or EMSG switches clip on for positioning feedback.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF63X160S Is Used
Injection mold ejection
Ejects large molded housings from a semi-automatic mold; the 160 mm stroke clears deep cores and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa breaks the part loose.
Tote diverter pusher
Pushes heavy plastic totes off a main belt onto a sortation lane; the cushions absorb the lane stop so totes do not bounce back.
Fatigue test rig
Cycles a spring sample on a durability rig at 30-800 mm/s; the magnet and an EMSG switch count strokes at each end automatically.
Is the Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF63X160S the Right Cylinder?
Step down to 50 mm (981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the load allows; 63 mm is the ceiling of the MAR series. The 160 mm stroke means the rod is unsupported in mid-travel, so add external guiding for side loads. If the machine must hold a position through air loss, fit a rod lock - the MAR itself has no holding function. Ports are 1/4 in on this bore, and the M14x1.5 rod thread takes I or Y knuckles.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF63X160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that becomes 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull; the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 317.7 kgf. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
No. The F front flange is riveted into the cylinder body at the factory, so the MARF63X160S bolts directly to your machine plate without a separate flange or foot accessory. Only rod-end hardware such as an I or Y knuckle is added separately, threading onto the M14x1.5 rod. Note the cylinder will not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss; a rod lock handles that.
