The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU25X25S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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.
A compact pusher for tight envelopes: the MARU25X25S pairs a 25 mm bore with a 25 mm stroke in a riveted round-body stainless-steel barrel, with the up-mount bracket rolled into the front cover so one bolted joint replaces a cylinder plus a separate flange. Air acts on both faces of the piston (double acting) and a variable cushion at each end is trimmed with its needle screw to kill end-of-stroke shock.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 245 N, which works out to roughly 147 N of practical working force once you keep a design margin - enough to seat caps, eject small parts or lift about 12 kg vertically at a 2:1 ratio. The hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod and grease-retaining piston seals shrug off damp shop air, and the standard magnet lets CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clamp on anywhere along the barrel for stroke-end signals.

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.

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.
A 25 mm punch stroke is exactly what a tabletop capper needs to press foil liners into cosmetic vial caps; 245 N at 0.5 MPa seats liners without crushing the plastic.
Use the short 25 mm stroke to flick small jars from a main conveyor onto a checkweigher spur - the 147 N working band clears a lane divider in a fraction of a second at mid-range speed.
Clamp small aluminium housings or brackets into a drill jig; the cushion lets the clamp land firmly on the part instead of slamming it against the jig face.
For a 25 mm stroke this bore sits mid-range: drop to the 20 mm MAR (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter ejection tasks, or step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N) when resistance climbs past 200 N. Keep the working effort near 147 N and the cylinder will ride through supply dips without stalling. The up-bracket is part of the front cover, and I or Y rod knuckles thread onto the M10x1.25 male rod if the linkage needs to swivel. A plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock if the load must stay put with the supply off.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 343.4 N and 288.5 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable cushion at both ends, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-800 mm/s, uses 1/8" ports and an M10x1.25 male thread on a 10 mm rod, and works from -20 to +70 C.
No. Every MA-series cylinder leaves the factory with the piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp onto the stainless barrel at any stroke position without ordering a special piston. Just check that the switch body fits inside your envelope around the short 25 mm body length.
