Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU63X160S
The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU63X160S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU63X160S
A 63 mm bore in a riveted stainless round body gives the MARU63X160S its muscle: 1558 N of push and 1457 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, double acting with air cushions at both stroke ends. For lifting duty that means roughly 79 kg hoisted vertically once you allow a 2:1 safety factor. Covers are aluminium alloy, the rod is hard-chromed carbon steel, and the barrel is rolled sealed against moisture.
The 160 mm stroke stretches this force class further than the shorter MAR frames, useful for deep gates, lifters and kickers. Keep the cushion needles set so the load decelerates before contact, and plan on about 935 N of sustained working force rather than the full rating. Supply range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU63X160S Is Used
Bakery tray lift
Lifts stacked dough trays at a bakery transfer station; the bore raises about 79 kg with margin over the 160 mm travel while cushions settle the load.
Dosing hopper gate
Drives a slide valve under a chemical dosing hopper, sealing and opening the outlet with 1558 N at 0.5 MPa despite powder packing.
Carton kicker arm
Kicks cartons from a packaging lane into a decline chute; the adjustable cushion stops the 160 mm stroke slamming at line speed.
Is the Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU63X160S the Right Cylinder?
Nothing above 63 mm exists in the MAR line, so if 1558 N at 0.5 MPa falls short the job needs a larger series instead; if it is ample, smaller 50 mm (981 N) or 40 mm (628 N) bores save air. The cylinder does not lock its position when pressure fails - gravity or back-pressure will move the rod - so add a rod lock where stopping mid-stroke matters. The up-top integrated bracket and the standard magnet (CMSG, DMSG, EMSG switches) cover mounting and sensing in one order, with no separate foot or flange accessories to buy.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU63X160S FAQ
Extension 1557.9 N and retraction 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa; extension 2181.0 N and retraction 2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, takes 1/4 in ports and runs a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread.
No. Like any plain double-acting cylinder it drifts when air pressure drops, since only the cushion - not a lock - softens the stroke end. For applications that must stop and stay, fit a rod lock unit alongside. The stainless barrel and chromed rod, meanwhile, tolerate washdown and outdoor sites far better than painted minis.
