Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC50X50SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC50X50SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 50mm stroke, PT/G 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 B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC50X50SCA
Clamp-heavy jobs fit this cylinder well: the MAC50X50SCA pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N at 0.5 MPa from its 50 mm double-acting bore, and at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 1374 N. The CA pivot back cover is the hook - the rear eye swings with a link mechanism, so clamp arms and fold levers run without adapter plates.
The stainless round barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod tolerate washdown better than painted minis, and the twin variable cushions let you work the 30-800 mm/s speed range harder without end-of-stroke bang. Because the magnet is standard, CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount wherever the cycle needs a signal. Size real work at about 589 N, which is 60% of the 0.5 MPa push and roughly a 50 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |

Where the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC50X50SCA Is Used
Weld fixture toggle clamp
Closes a swing-link clamp on a robotic weld cell for tube frames; 981 N at 0.5 MPa holds the joint line while the CA pivot eye follows the link path.
Hopper slide gate arm
Opens a powder hopper's slide gate through a pivoting lever; the variable cushions settle the gate onto its seat instead of slamming it shut.
Carton flap folder
Folds top flaps on a case erector via a link arm; 50 mm of stroke matches flap travel and the built-in magnet triggers CMSG switches for flap confirmation.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC50X50SCA the Right Cylinder?
Step down to a 40 mm bore if 628 N at 0.5 MPa is enough, or step up to 63 mm (1558 N) for heavier clamps. The CA pivot back cover accepts swing links and I / Y rod knuckles without adapter plates; add FA flange or LB foot hardware if the body also needs fixing. Note the MAC will not park a load on its own - vented chambers mean the rod drifts once air is off, so fit a rod lock or check valve where hold matters. The built-in magnet needs no special piston for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
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 B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC50X50SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push and 881 N of pull; at 0.7 MPa the figures climb to 1374 N push and 1233 N pull; the theoretical ceiling is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable cushion at each end, ports are 1/4" and the rod thread is M14x1.5.
It puts a pivot eye on the rear cover, so the cylinder can swing with a linked mechanism - clamp arms, flap folders, gate levers - without adapter brackets. Pair it with I or Y rod knuckles on the front, or bolt the body down with FA flange / LB foot / SDB parts. The magnet comes fitted as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop on.
