The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU25X225S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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.
The MARU25X225S pairs a 225 mm stroke with the 25 mm bore of AirTAC's MAR series, delivering 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa. This is a double acting cylinder with an adjustable air cushion at each end - turn the needle screws on first commissioning to soften both stroke ends. Its front cover integrates a top (up) mounting bracket, so the cylinder bolts directly onto the machine without any add-on foot.
A riveted stainless barrel with a 10 mm hard-chrome rod copes with humid air and light washdown where painted mini cylinders rust. The magnet ships standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop on for position feedback. For sizing, halve the rating: this bore lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, from 25 kgf of theoretical lift at 0.5 MPa.

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.

| 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.

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.
Stopping a stream of housings takes well under the 245.3 N this bore develops at 0.5 MPa, and the 225 mm stroke lifts the gate fully clear of the product flow when released.
The 206.1 N return force retracts the indexing pawl cleanly between microplate trays, and the stainless barrel tolerates the wipe-down regime around analytical instruments.
A 225 mm travel covers the guard window, and the adjustable cushion at each end keeps the sliding panel from slamming into its stops at speed.
Choose by force at 0.5 MPa - 157.0 N (20 mm bore), 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull (this 25 mm bore), 402.2 N (32 mm bore) - and derate for friction. A plain MAR will not hold position when air is lost; the piston drifts with the load, so spec a rod lock for dwell-critical fixtures. The factory-fitted top bracket and standard magnet (CMSG / DMSG / EMSG) simplify mounting and sensing, and the M10x1.25 male rod thread accepts I and Y knuckles.
Quick checklist
On 0.5 MPa air this cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 343.4 N, and the ceiling is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and keep rod speed between 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - the variable air cushion at both ends is set by needle screws, so spend a minute on commissioning to dial the deceleration to your load and speed. With cushioning tuned you can run up to 800 mm/s or move heavier loads without hammering the covers at stroke end.
