The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU20X190S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 190mm 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.
A 190 mm reach in the smallest MAR bore: this double-acting mini cylinder delivers 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa (219.8 N at 0.7 MPa) and retracts with 131.9 N. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune away end-of-stroke shock even near the 800 mm/s top of its 30-800 mm/s speed band.
Its stainless-steel barrel and hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod handle washdown and damp air far better than painted minis, and the riveted round body carries its own top bracket, so no separate foot is ordered. Working the numbers: at 0.5 MPa expect roughly 94 N of usable push once you keep a margin, enough to lift about 8 kg vertically.

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.

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.
Extending 190 mm into an electronics line, the 157 N push lowers and seats populated SMT trays into transport frames without hammering, thanks to the adjustable cushion.

At 20 mm this is the lightest MAR bore; stepping up to the 25 mm bore lifts push at 0.5 MPa from 157 N to 245.3 N if your actuator envelope allows. Over a 190 mm stroke, guide any side load externally, since the 8 mm rod is not meant to carry bending. Note that the plain cylinder drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock where position must hold. The built-in U bracket bolts straight on, and I or Y knuckles still thread onto the M8x1.25 rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 219.8 N and 184.7 N. The theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. Supply air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) through the 1/8" port and run 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MA-series barrel ships with the magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight onto this 20 mm bore tube for end-of-stroke signalling without a special-order piston.
