The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU40X450S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 450mm 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 450 mm stroke puts the MARU40X450S near the top of the MAR range: a double-acting, round-body mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends and an up-mount bracket rolled into the front cover. Nothing else bolts to the machine - no separate flange or foot is needed. Filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) drives the rod out and back anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
At 0.5 MPa this 40 mm bore pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 880 N against a theoretical ceiling of 128.1 kgf. Work the numbers down and about 377 N of that push is a comfortable budget for real work, enough to lift roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome 16 mm rod shrug off washdown mist that swells painted-steel minis, and the piston magnet fitted as standard lets CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on.

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.

| 0.7 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.
The 450 mm travel clears a full case width from the infeed, with 628 N of push handling wet corrugated stacks at line speed.
The up-mount bracket bolts the cylinder above the rail, and the cushioned stroke keeps the gate from slamming as pallets arrive.
About 32 kg of vertical capacity covers the gate leaf, and the stainless barrel survives constant water splash without flaking.
Size down to the 32 mm MAR (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load sits under about 240 N, or step up to the 50 mm bore (981 N) when the job needs near 590 N of usable work. A standard MAR cannot hold position on lost air - the rod drifts with the load - so pair a rod lock where a raised gate must stay up. Over 450 mm of stroke, keep side loads off the 16 mm rod by guiding the part or adding an external slide, and dial the cushion needle screws on first run before running above 300 mm/s. The U top-mount matches direct frame bolting, and I or Y rod knuckles still thread onto the M12x1.25 rod.
Quick checklist
Bore 40 mm, stroke 450 mm, double acting with a variable cushion at both ends and an integrated up-mount. Push 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa; push 880 N and pull 739 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Rod 16 mm with M12x1.25 male thread, 1/8" ports, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. The round barrel is stainless steel and the 16 mm rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um, so mild corrosion, coolant mist and outdoor damp do not eat the body the way they attack painted-steel minis. The aluminium covers are rolled onto the tube, and the two-way piston seal stores grease for long seal life.
