The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU40X350S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm 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 350 mm reach from a 40 mm bore makes the MARU40X350S a long-travel member of AirTAC's MA family: double acting, cushioned with variable air needles at both stroke ends, and carried on its own integrated up-mount front bracket so no separate flange or foot is bought. The body is a riveted round barrel in stainless steel with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm carbon-steel rod - a combination that shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown where painted minis would rust. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M12x1.25.
At 0.5 MPa this bore delivers 628.3 N of push; keep actual work loads near 377 N and you retain a healthy margin, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically. The variable cushion absorbs end-of-stroke shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s, protecting the covers when the long stroke is cycled fast. A magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without any special-order piston. Operating envelope: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), -20 to +70 C, air 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 | 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.

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.
Raising a diverter gate on a bottling conveyor: 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa lifts a 4 kg stainless gate fast, and the 350 mm stroke clears full-width PET lane changes.
Sliding racks of bread trays across a 350 mm transfer on a bun line, with the cushioned stop protecting the push plate at high cycle speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Swinging open a spray-booth air damper where washdown humidity rules out painted minis - the stainless barrel and up bracket shrug off the mist.
Compare before you commit: the 32 mm bore version delivers 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa while a 50 mm bore jumps to 981.3 N, so 40 mm sits mid-pack at 628.3 N. A 350 mm unsupported stroke means side loads bend the 16 mm rod quickly - guide the load externally rather than letting the rod carry it. If the machine must hold position when air drops, remember the piston drifts; specify a rod lock for that job. Mounting is integral: the U bracket bolts straight to the machine, and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches sense the factory-fitted magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 879.6 N, and theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and a 30-800 mm/s speed band frame those values.
Yes - turn the cushion needle screws in slightly on first commissioning and tune both ends until each stop is quiet. The variable air cushion works at both stroke ends, so a 350 mm fast cycle can land gently instead of hammering the covers.
