The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU25X40S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm 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.
Short travel, small package: the MARU25X40S squeezes a 25 mm double-acting bore with a 40 mm stroke into a riveted stainless round body that suits tight machine real estate. The 10 mm hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off corrosion in damp shops, and the front cover arrives with its own top-mount bracket already attached.
At 0.5 MPa the bore pushes 245 N and pulls 206 N, climbing to 343 N at 0.7 MPa. Treat about 147 N as the practical working force when sizing clamps and ejectors; on a vertical axis that equates to lifting roughly 12 kg with a 2:1 margin. Both ends carry a variable air cushion, a welcome feature at this stroke length that protects the covers even in fast 30-800 mm/s cycles.

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.
A 40 mm stroke is exactly the kick needed to clear finished parts off the die face, backed by 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
The compact body fits between fixture plates while 206 N of pull holds sheet steel firmly against the locating pins.
Mislabelled bottles are flicked off the conveyor in one short 40 mm move, cushioned at both ends so bottles never tip.
A 40 mm stroke suits eject, clamp and index moves needing under 40 mm of travel. Check the neighbors first: the 20 mm bore tops out at 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa and the 32 mm bore reaches 402 N, so pick up or down if the load sits outside what 245 N comfortably handles. Because there is no internal lock, the piston follows the load whenever air pressure drops - fit a rod lock if the position must survive a supply failure. The standard-built magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches along the stainless barrel, and the integrated top bracket removes any need for a separate mounting foot.
Quick checklist
The 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 50.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Porting is 1/8 inch and the rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread.
Yes - the variable air cushion works at both ends regardless of stroke length. Turn the needle screws on first commissioning to match the load, and the 40 mm cycle stays shock-free even at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
