The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU50X225S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/4" 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 50 mm bore driving 225 mm of stroke, the MARU50X225S is AirTAC's double-acting MAR mini cylinder: 981.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 880.8 N on retract, rising to 1373.8 N when fed 0.7 MPa. The front cover carries a built-in up (U) mount, so the cylinder bolts straight onto the machine frame with no separate foot or flange to order.
The riveted stainless-steel barrel and hard-chrome plated rod take mild corrosion and washdown better than painted-steel minis, which suits damp or outdoor lines. Variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial out end-of-stroke shock, so faster cycles or heavier loads do not hammer the covers. At 0.5 MPa, keep real work near 589 N (about 60 percent of push) for a comfortable margin; the theoretical peak is 200.1 kgf. A standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box.

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 | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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.
Kicks off-spec trays sideways at a packaging line exit, the 225 mm reach clearing a full conveyor lane in one hit.
Slides formed brackets between stations on a stamping line, cushion tuned for repeatable placement at each stop.
Pushes product gates across a bottling conveyor, where 589 N of working force is ample for filled cases.
Sizing check: if 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa overshoots your load, the 40 mm MAR bore delivers 628.3 N on a shorter body; if you need more, the 63 mm bore reaches 1557.9 N. Both neighbours share the same 30-800 mm/s speed range. Like any double-acting cylinder without a lock, the rod drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock where a held position matters. The integrated U bracket removes the need for a separate flange, and I or Y rod knuckles still thread onto the M14x1.5 rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 1373.8 N and 1233.1 N. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200.1 kgf. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The riveted stainless barrel plus hard-chrome rod tolerates washdown and humidity, the variable cushion at both ends dials out end-of-stroke shock, and the up-mount bracket built into the front cover means no separate flange to buy or align. The magnet is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches attach directly.
