Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X350SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X350SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 350mm 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 MAC16X350SCM
Where a slim 350 mm stroke needs to hang from a pivot, this 16 mm bore MAC pairs the CM round-end cover with the full 500 mm standard stroke range of the bore. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, pushing 100.5 N and pulling 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, up to 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa (20.5 kgf theoretical). Work around 60 N of real load for a dependable service life.
Grease-storing two-way piston seals keep the stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod running smoothly across the 30-800 mm/s speed band. Because the magnet is built in as standard rather than a paid option, adding CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for mid-stroke or end detection costs nothing extra on the piston. The riveted construction seals the barrel against light washdown, an advantage over painted minis in humid corners.

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 MAC16X350SCM Is Used
Shuttle stop gate
Dropping a stop gate across a gravity roller spur in a storeroom; the pivot-ready round-end cover lets the gate swing down out of the product path.
Slide extension
Extending a sliding jig plate 350 mm on a workshop bench; keep the load carried on rails, since the 6 mm rod resists little side load on its own.
Battery bay interlock
Blocking a battery-change bay gate at an electric forklift charging station; if the gate must stay shut with air off, add a pilot check valve because the rod will drift.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X350SCM the Right Cylinder?
No bore sits below 16 mm in this range, so 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is the lightest push available; the next step up is the 20 mm bore at 157.0 N. Long strokes amplify any misalignment - keep the rod straight and the load guided, since a 6 mm rod over 350 mm tolerates little side load. A plain MAC will not park a load when air is lost; specify a rod lock or pilot check valve. The CM round end suits clevis-style pivots, with FA flange and LB foot options for rigid frames.
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 MAC16X350SCM FAQ
Push at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it is 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull; the theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and both ends carry a variable air cushion.
The magnet is built in as standard on every MAC, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount without ordering a special piston. The rod itself does not hold position: when air is lost or the valve centres, the piston drifts, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
