Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X10SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X10SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X10SU
A stainless round tube, riveted aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod give the MAC16X10SU a body that tolerates coolant mist, splash and outdoor damp far better than painted mini cylinders. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
This 16 mm bore swings 100.5 N in push and 86.4 N in pull at 0.5 MPa - enough in theory to hoist about 10 kg, so halve that for a real lift and plan on roughly 5 kg vertically. The variable cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke shock, letting you run the 10 mm stroke fast without hammering the covers.

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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X10SU Is Used
Micro conveyor stop
Stops and indexes small totes on a light conveyor line; the 10 mm stroke acts as a positive stop backed by 100.5 N.
Sampler actuator
Drives a dip-sampler arm in a coolant test rig where the stainless construction resists constant splashing.
Fixture clamp
Clamps thin sheet-metal brackets in a welding jig; cushioning prevents the clamp from ringing the fixture.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X10SU the Right Cylinder?
Need more muscle than 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa? A 20 mm bore delivers 157.0 N push and 131.9 N pull, while 25 mm reaches 245.3 N. Because this is double acting with no spring, the rod settles wherever air leaves it - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put when pressure drops. The U flat-end cover gives a clean fixed face for direct bolting; SDB pivot, LB foot or FA flange brackets are available.
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 MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X10SU FAQ
Push force is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and those become 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, topping out at 20.5 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Ports are M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
Both ends carry a variable air cushion. Back the needle screws fully off before first run, then close them gradually until the 10 mm stroke ends quietly; travel speed can be tuned anywhere from 30-800 mm/s.
