The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU20X130S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 130mm 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.
Double-acting with a variable cushion at both ends, the MARU20X130S packs its own top (U) mounting bracket into the body, so there is no separate flange to order or align. From a 20 mm stainless barrel it delivers 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa over a 130 mm stroke, running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air at 30-800 mm/s.
The round stainless tube and hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod shrug off washdown and damp shop air where painted mini cylinders corrode, and the aluminium covers are riveted on for a sealed body. An adjustable cushion at each end lets you tune out end-of-stroke shock, and the standard built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Plan real work around 94 N (0.6 x 157 N) at 0.5 MPa and this actuator will hold that output all shift.

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 | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 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). |
|---|---|
| U | Front-cover mount: U = up (top) mounting. |
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×130 | 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.
Sweeps off-spec bottles sideways off a bottling conveyor at the 157 N class, with the cushion tuned so the reject gate does not slam.
Folds the near flap on a small case-packing station through the full 130 mm travel without hammering the end cover.
Locks and releases the detent pin on a small rotary indexing table, with a switch spotting each end position.
Bore 20 is the smallest in the MAR range, so sizing means stepping up rather than down: the next bore, 25 mm, gives 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load outgrows 157 N. At 130 mm of stroke keep the 8 mm rod clear of side loads - guide the part externally or the rod will bend over time.
If the arm must hold position when air drops, note that a plain MAR drifts; a rod lock cylinder is the right choice for that duty. The integrated U bracket bolts straight to the frame, and the standard magnet suits CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing without special ordering.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and push rises to 219.8 N with pull at 184.7 N. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf for this 20 mm bore.
The barrel is stainless steel and the 8 mm rod is hard-chrome plated, so splash, condensation and mild washdown do not attack it the way they do painted minis. Air connection is 1/8" on this bore, and the covers are rolled onto the tube for a sealed, riveted body.
