The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU50X25S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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.
Short stroke, full force: the MARU50X25S travels just 25 mm yet pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 200.1 kgf. Its up-facing bracket is part of the front cover, so it clamps straight onto a fixture without extra mounting hardware.
At this ratio of force to travel, plan real work around 589 N at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome carbon-steel rod handle splash and humidity that would rust painted mini bodies, while the variable cushion at both ends protects the covers on fast, hard stops. The piston magnet ships standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensing needs no special order.

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.
Clamps sheet-metal panels in a welding jig, the short 25 mm stroke cycling quickly between parts without wasted motion.
Presses a workpiece flat before a saw cut, cushion tuned so the head lands without bounce at the moment of contact.
Drives a locking pin into a rotary table's detent, 589 N of working force far above what pin seating actually needs.
A 25 mm stroke makes this the pick for clamps and ejection pins: full 50 mm bore force, minimal travel. Step down to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N at 0.5 MPa) if 981.3 N is more than the job needs, or up to 63 mm (1557.9 N) for heavier clamping. The M14x1.5 rod thread accepts I and Y knuckles for off-axis links. Position is not held on air loss - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock for fail-safe holding. Magnet and sensors (CMSG / DMSG / EMSG) are included as standard, no upcharge.
Quick checklist
Push is 981.3 N and pull 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa, 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull; theoretical peak 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Needle screws at both ports throttle exhaust in the last millimetres, so even a 25 mm stroke can stop a heavy clamp gently. Turn them in slightly on first run, then open until bounce disappears at your cycle speed.
