Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X450SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X450SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 450mm 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 MAC16X450SCM
A double-acting mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at each end, the MAC16X450SCM pairs a 450 mm stroke with a riveted stainless barrel that shrugs off washdown and outdoor damp better than painted-steel minis. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N - roughly 10 kg of vertical lift at full flow, but plan for about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating.
The round-end CM back cover gives a clean pivoting attachment without extra brackets, and the built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on directly. Speed runs 30-800 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); the 6 mm rod suits light loads on this long stroke.

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 MAC16X450SCM Is Used
Lab reagent dosing slide
Long 450 mm travel pushes sample trays between fill and capping stations on a compact benchtop analyser.
Bakery-line gate diverter
Washdown-safe stainless barrel and about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa suit a lightweight product pusher on a bread tray conveyor.
Small-parts ejection
The round-end CM cover pivots on a bracket to kick machined bushings off a finishing fixture.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X450SCM the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the smallest in the MA family, so there is no step down - if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa falls short of your load, move to the 20 mm bore (157 N push). The MAC does not hold position when air is removed: the piston drifts, so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock if the load must stay put. Ports are M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
On a 450 mm stroke the slender 6 mm rod is exposed to bending - guide the load or keep side forces near zero. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on if the CM round-end cover alone does not match the frame.
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 MAC16X450SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Double acting with a variable cushion both ends, 30-800 mm/s, M5x0.8 ports.
No. Every MAC16X450SCM ships with the piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors mount on the stainless barrel without a special-order piston. The CM round-end back cover plus FA, LB or SDB brackets cover most mounting needs.
