The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU25X50S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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.
Compact 50 mm travel on a 25 mm bore makes the MARU25X50S a natural fit for clamping and ejecting in crowded fixtures. This round-body cylinder is rolling-packed from a stainless-steel tube, aluminium covers and a stainless block, so it shrugs off the damp and washdown that flake painted minis. Double acting with a variable cushion at each end, it carries its own up-mount front bracket, and the magnet ships inside as standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing.
Expect 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa - a 50 kgf class actuator. Keep real loads near 147 N and vertical lifts around 12.5 kg for a comfortable margin. Speeds from 30-800 mm/s suit short snap actions; tune the needle cushions so the 10 mm rod never hammers the covers. Air supply: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um.

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.

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 50 mm kick clears finished clips off the die face; 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for brass and thin steel parts weighing only a few grams.
Around 147 N of working force holds boards flat during pogo-pin testing, and the adjustable cushion keeps the clamp from slamming onto plastic fixture bodies.
The up bracket bolts under the sealer frame, nudging sealed cartons sideways at up to 800 mm/s while the stainless barrel survives humid warehouse air.
Stepping down, a 20 mm MAR makes 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up, the 32 mm reaches 402.2 N - pick by the gap between your load and this bore's 245.3 N. Remember the rod will drift if air pressure is lost; this cylinder is not a position lock, so spec a rod-lock unit where holding matters. The top bracket needs no extra flange order, CMSG switches read the built-in magnet straight out of the box, and the port is 1/8" on every bore up to 40 mm.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 343.4 N and pull 288.5 N, with a 50 kgf theoretical maximum. It strokes 50 mm at 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), handles -20 to +70 C, and accepts 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. The rod is 10 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread and 1/8" ports.
Yes. Both ends carry a variable air cushion controlled by needle screws - turn them in on first run until the piston lands quietly. That matters at fast cycles up to 800 mm/s, where an un-cushioned 50 mm stop would shock the aluminium covers and shake the fixture. The magnet is factory fitted, so position switches need no special-order piston.
