The AirTAC Airtac MA Mini Cylinders MA20X60SCA is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Need 60 mm of travel in a compact envelope? The MA20X60SCA delivers 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa (131.9 N pull), rising to 219.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a 32.0 kgf theoretical maximum. Air drives the rod both ways, and fixed bumper pads take the sting out of stroke ends; they are a deceleration aid, not a position lock, so a parked load needs a rod lock or check valve to stay put.
In practice, size the mechanism around 94 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa - roughly an 8 kg vertical lift once you halve the 16 kg theoretical figure for margin. The 8 mm hard-chrome rod and stainless riveted barrel shrug off splash and condensation, the CA pivot eye bolts directly to a linkage without extra brackets, and the built-in magnet works with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box. Operating window: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| MA | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting). |
|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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 aluminium extrusion blanks to a machining-jig fence; about 94 N of derated force holds light parts against a cutting load.
Nudges underweight packs off a checkweigher belt within the 60 mm travel window; the CA pivot eye takes the linkage swing.
Retracts a detent pin indexing a small dial plate; the magnet plus DMSG switch confirms pin-in before the table turns.
Compare both directions: 16 mm gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, 25 mm gives 245.3 N - this 20 mm bore sits between at 157.0 N. Air port is 1/8", rod thread M8x1.25 on the 8 mm rod. The CA pivot back cover suits linkages; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets cover fixed and pivoted frames. If the 60 mm stroke will see lateral thrust from a guide-less tool plate, support the load externally so the rod does not side-load. And remember the rod is free to drift whenever air is removed - fit a rod lock where a load must stay put.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 157.0 N push, 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N push, 184.7 N pull. Theoretical peak: 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Double-acting, 8 mm rod, 1/8" port, M8x1.25 rod thread, rated 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MA cylinder, the MA20X60SCA included, ships with a piston magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or electronic switches clip straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling. If you need adjustable cushioning instead of the fixed bumpers, look at the MAC series.
