The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU20X200S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm 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.
Two hundred millimetres of travel on the smallest MAR bore makes this a slim pusher for deep fixtures. Double acting with a variable cushion at each end, it drives 157 N forward at 0.5 MPa (131.9 N back) and 219.8 N forward at 0.7 MPa, across a 30-800 mm/s speed range.
The riveted stainless round body with a hard-chromed 8 mm rod shrugs off splashes that rust painted minis, and the moulded-in top bracket means the frame gets one bolted face instead of a loose flange. In practice keep continuous work near 94 N at 0.5 MPa; that margin lets it hoist roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor.

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.
A 200 mm stroke flicks off-spec bottles sideways between conveyor lanes, and the cushioned ends stop the pusher arm cracking at full line speed.
Raising a small hopper gate 200 mm where the top bracket bolts flush against the chute wall with no extra hardware.
Holding window-profile blanks during drilling, where the stainless body tolerates daily coolant mist that would corrode painted minis.
This 20 mm bore is the entry point of the MAR range; if 157 N at 0.5 MPa feels marginal, the next bore up, 25 mm, pushes 245.3 N under the same air. Across a 200 mm stroke, support the load on an external guide so the 8 mm rod sees thrust only, not bending. The piston holds no position when air drops - it simply drifts - so pair the cylinder with a rod lock for clamps that must stay shut. Sensor needs are already covered by the standard magnet, which accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
MARU20X200S: push 157 N and pull 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa; push 219.8 N and pull 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa; 32 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air and strokes at 30-800 mm/s.
Needle screws at both ends bleed exhaust air to slow the piston over the final millimetres, so 200 mm of travel can finish soft even with a fast-moving load. Adjust them on first commissioning, then leave the setting in place.
