The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU25X170S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 170mm 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.
Need a slim pusher that reaches 170 mm without a bulky body? The MARU25X170S does it with a 25 mm stainless tube: 245 N out, 206 N back at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 343 N at 0.7 MPa. Double acting throughout, with variable cushions at both ends and a top bracket built onto the front cover.
Grease-retaining two-way piston seals keep lubrication inside the barrel, so the rod runs smooth over the longer travel. Derate for real life: about 147 N of working push, or near 12 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. The piston magnet is factory-fitted, letting CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches report stroke position with no options to order.

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.

| U | Front-cover mount: U = up (top) mounting. |
| 25 | Bore size 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.
Lift a pharma vial tray one shelf (170 mm) in a filling cell; 245 N at 0.5 MPa moves the lightweight tray with room to spare.
Extend the outboard roller guide on a cut-off saw to support long stock; the cushion catches the guide at full reach.
Deploy a locating pin into a CNC fixture from above; the stainless body tolerates coolant spray around the machining zone.
Within the MAR family this bore sits between the 20 mm (157 N at 0.5 MPa) and 32 mm (402 N) sizes; all share 1/8" ports up to 40 mm bore. A 170 mm stroke on a 10 mm rod is where side loads start to matter - guide the payload separately. Expect drift if air pressure drops; use a rod lock for guaranteed holding. The magnet is standard, so switch choice is simply CMSG, DMSG or EMSG.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the bore delivers 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull; theoretical maximum is 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, fluid air filtered to 40 um.
No - like any plain double-acting cylinder the piston drifts when pressure drops, and the cushions only soften the stroke ends. Add an AirTAC rod lock where a load must stay parked. For signalling rather than locking, the standard piston magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
