Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X200SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X200SCM 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 MAC16X200SCM
Cushion control is the selling point here: the MAC16X200SCM uses needle screws at both ends to bleed its variable air cushion, so a 200 mm stroke can stop a small load smoothly at speed instead of hammering the covers. Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with the CM round-end back cover ready to take a rod-eye knuckle for linked mechanisms.
The stainless-steel barrel and hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod stand up to splash and humidity far better than painted mini cylinders, and they run happily on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air. The piston magnet comes standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. In practice, size the job at around 60 N of working push at 0.5 MPa - roughly a 5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - rather than the full 100.5 N rating.

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 MAC16X200SCM Is Used
Capsule lid clamp on a filling fixture
Presses a foil lid home on coffee capsule trays; 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa gives enough crimp pressure and the cushion keeps the clamp from battering the die.
Stopper pin on an indexing dial
Pops into dial holes to lock a rotary table between stations; the rod-eye knuckle absorbs small angular misalignment of the link.
Glue nozzle lift on a dotting bench
Drops a nozzle onto PCB pads for a datum dot; the 200 mm stroke clears the fixture and the standard magnet reports the down position.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X200SCM the Right Cylinder?
There is no MAC bore below 16 mm, so this is the smallest option; a 20 mm bore lifts push from 100.5 N to 157 N at 0.5 MPa when more muscle is needed. Keep the 6 mm rod straight across the 200 mm stroke and support overhanging tooling, or side thrust will bow it. A dropped air supply leaves the piston free to move, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock when a held position counts. The CM round end takes an I or Y knuckle, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets handle fixed mounting; PT, G and NPT threads are selectable.
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 MAC16X200SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. It operates on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air, proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), at 30-800 mm/s.
Its rounded face accepts an I or Y rod knuckle, letting the 200 mm stroke drive a pivoting link without adapters. Inside, the barrel is stainless steel rolled to the covers for splash resistance, and the piston magnet - standard on every unit - trips CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for signalling.
