The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU40X100S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm 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 MARU40X100S puts 628 N on the rod at 0.5 MPa - top-tier push for a round-body mini - inside a riveted stainless barrel fitted with its own top-mount bracket, so it bolts to the machine without buying a separate flange or foot. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end.
Beyond the headline number, plan real loads around 377 N at 0.5 MPa, which is about 32 kg of vertical lift once a 2:1 margin is applied. The 16 mm hard-chrome rod resists wear and mild washdown, and the standard-built magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signaling. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).

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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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. |

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.
Stakes terminal pins into connector housings on a semi-auto press; 628 N at 0.5 MPa handles light staking with a cushioned landing.
Clamps lids on stackable totes at a distribution center; the stainless barrel tolerates chilly, damp dock air without flaking.
Lifts a vacuum pick head of about 30 kg on a small gantry, with the dual cushions damping the down-stop at cycle rate.
Step down to the 32 mm bore if 402 N at 0.5 MPa covers the job, or up to the 50 mm bore (981 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavy clamping. Note the 40 mm bore still uses a 1/8" port. Like any non-locked cylinder, the rod moves freely when air is cut - a rod lock cylinder is the fix for hold-in-place duty. The integrated top bracket carries the mounting load; I or Y rod knuckles thread onto M12x1.25. Over a 100 mm stroke, minimize side load with external guides to protect the rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628 N push, 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 880 N push, 739 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. The 40 mm bore takes a 1/8" port and an M12x1.25 rod thread.
No - every MAR cylinder leaves the factory with a piston magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel for position feedback, with no special piston order or modification needed.
