The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU20X85S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 85mm 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.
An 85 mm stroke on the smallest MAR bore is what the MARU20X85S delivers: a riveted, round-body mini cylinder in stainless steel with double-acting air power and adjustable cushioning at each end. Its top (U) mount is built into the front cover itself, so there is no loose flange to order or align. Because the magnet comes fitted as standard, a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch simply clips on.
Expect 157 N of push and 132 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 220 N at 0.7 MPa, with 32 kgf as the 1.0 MPa theoretical limit. In everyday terms that 157 N is about 16 kg of push; halve it for a 2:1 margin and the cylinder comfortably lifts around 8 kg vertically. The hard-chrome plated rod and stainless tube take splash, humidity and outdoor duty in their stride across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.
Swings reject items off a tablet-counting line; the 85 mm stroke sweeps the full lane and the cushion lands the arm quietly even at 800 mm/s.
Presses a glue nozzle onto small wooden frames, where roughly 8 kg of vertical push matches the light bead pressure the joint needs.
Positions an adjustable stop on a slat conveyor so changeover between pack sizes becomes a screw turn instead of a rebuild.
If 157 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight for the load, the next bore up, 25 mm, lifts the push to 245 N without changing the 1/8" port size. Note that the MAR holds nothing when air drops: the piston coasts freely, so a rod lock is the answer for held positions. Loads pushed off-axis over this 85 mm stroke should be guided externally; the 8 mm rod is tough but not a side-load bearing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 132 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 220 N and pull 185 N; the theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 8 mm rod ends in M8x1.25 male thread, air ports are 1/8", and the pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The barrel is high-precision stainless steel riveted to aluminium-alloy covers, and the 8 mm carbon-steel rod is hard-chrome plated to about 20 um. That combination resists rust and mild washdown far better than painted-steel minis, which matters in food, outdoor and humid plants.
