The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU25X165S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 165mm 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.
With its mounting bracket already rolled into the front cover, the MARU25X165S bolts flat against a machine plate and starts pushing: 245 N extend, 206 N retract at 0.5 MPa over a 165 mm stroke. The action is double-acting, and needle-valve air cushions tame both stroke ends.
The round stainless tube and the 20 um hard-chrome plating on the 10 mm rod stand up to coolant mist and rinse-down far better than painted aluminium minis. As a working figure, size your tooling for about 147 N rather than the full rating; that equals hoisting around 12 kg vertically with a factor of two in hand. A magnet comes fitted, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches simply clip onto the barrel.

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 | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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. |
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×165 | 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.
Swing a cable-harness guide arm into position above an assembly bench; the integral top bracket bolts the cylinder flat to the overhead plate.
Flick spring-latched bin doors open in a storage carousel; 245 N at 0.5 MPa overcomes the latch and the cushion stops the slam.
Pop loose lids off filled trays before filling on a food line; the stainless barrel survives the hourly hose-down.
Between the 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 32 mm (402 N), this 25 mm size covers mid-range clamp-and-push jobs. At 165 mm stroke, keep side load off the rod with an external guide. Air loss lets the piston drift, so add a rod lock where position must hold. Magnet is standard and the air port is 1/8" - PT by default, G or NPT on request.
Quick checklist
The 25 mm bore produces 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 50.0 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air and cycle anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
No. The up bracket is part of the riveted front cover, so a MARU25X165S bolts directly to your plate without a separate flange or foot. I and Y rod knuckles still fit the M10x1.25 threaded rod. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod resist corrosion in wet or dusty plants.
