The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU20X90S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 90mm 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.
Ninety millimetres of stroke in a 20 mm bore makes the MARU20X90S a tidy choice for slim pick-and-place fingers and light gates. This is AirTAC's round-body MA family at its most compact: a stainless barrel with rolled-in aluminium covers, a hard-chrome plated rod, and double-acting air with a variable cushion at both stroke ends. The up-facing (U) bracket integrated in the front cover bolts straight to the plate, with no separate foot bracket to buy.
Force at 0.5 MPa is 157 N out and 132 N back, rising to 220 N at 0.7 MPa; the 1.0 MPa theoretical figure is 32 kgf. Budget around 94 N for actual work, six tenths of the rated push, so the cylinder runs cool and lasts. The built-in magnet is standard, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches read stroke position without any factory special, and speed spans 30-800 mm/s on 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.
Dips a sampling probe into a test trough; the stainless barrel shrugs off splashes that would corrode a painted mini cylinder.
Clamps small aluminium brackets into a CNC drill jig, where the 90 mm stroke clears the loading hand and about 94 N of working force is plenty.
Diverts small parcels on a sorter, with a CMSG switch confirming gate position at both ends of the 90 mm stroke.
Twenty millimetres is the floor of the MAR range, so oversizing means the 25 mm bore and its 245 N push at 0.5 MPa. Do not ask this cylinder to hold a position against gravity or a spring load, because on air loss the piston simply drifts; specify a rod lock cylinder for that job. The 1/8" ports and M8x1.25 rod thread keep plumbing light, and I or Y knuckles thread on where the load must swivel.
Quick checklist
Push 157 N and pull 132 N at 0.5 MPa; push 220 N and pull 185 N at 0.7 MPa; 32 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Bore is 20 mm, rod 8 mm with M8x1.25 thread, air ports 1/8", speed 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MARU20X90S ships with the piston magnet built in as standard. Clip on a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch and you get end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals straight away, at no extra piston cost.
