Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X200SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X200SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 200mm 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 MAC16X200SCA
The CA pivot eye on the back cover lets the MAC16X200SCA swing on a clevis without an extra knuckle, handy for tipping chutes and rotating levers on a 200 mm stroke. Double-acting air gives 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and the needle-set air cushion at both ends tames end-of-stroke shock so quicker cycles stay quiet.
A stainless round barrel rolled to the aluminium covers holds up in rinse-down areas where painted minis blister. Supply it with 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um and the hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod keeps sliding wear low. Derate the 100.5 N rating to about 60 N for real work at 0.5 MPa and the cylinder lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin; the standard-built magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position feedback.

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 MAC16X200SCA Is Used
Grain chute damper flipper
Swings a damper plate open on a hopper diverter; the CA pivot eye mounts straight to a clevis, and the cushion stops the plate slam at each end.
Divert arm on a parcel sorter
Kicks lightweight parcels between lanes; 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa moves a 2 kg parcel, and the 200 mm stroke clears the lane width.
Web tensioner swing on a winding machine
Pivots an idler roller to take up slack in film or foil; the pivot back cover removes bracket work and the standard magnet signals the slack position.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X200SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare by force: 16 mm gives 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa while a 20 mm bore raises that to 157 N if the mechanism later grows. A 200 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod magnifies misalignment, so guide the load externally to protect against rod bending. Once air is released the piston coasts free - a rod lock or pilot check valve holds position where it matters. The CA pivot pairs naturally with an I or Y knuckle; FA flange and LB foot brackets cover fixed faces, and PT, G or NPT threads match your fittings.
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 MAC16X200SCA FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical ceiling of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um; proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
Back both needle screws fully off before first run, then close them gradually until the 200 mm stroke stops cleanly - this bleed sets the variable air cushion at each end. The CA pivot eye takes a clevis pin directly, and the standard-built magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches anywhere along the barrel.
