Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X60SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm 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 MAC16X60SU
Flat faces on the U back cover let the MAC16X60SU nest against a machine plate with a single through-bolt, and the cylinder stays a true round-body stainless mini with a riveted barrel rolled onto its covers. Double acting with an adjustable air cushion at both ends, it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. In practice count on near 60 N of working force and a vertical lift of about 10 kg, or around 5 kg with a 2:1 margin.
The 16 mm bore reaches 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and the 6 mm hard-chrome rod keeps side scuffing off the seals in repetitive cycles. Grease-retaining two-way piston seals hold lubrication between services. Magnet is built in as standard - CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel - and the stainless surfaces shrug off the splash found in packaging and bottling rooms.

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 MAC16X60SU Is Used
Soft-jaw fixture clamp
Pinches a rubber hose or cable sleeve in an assembly jig where 60 N of realistic working force is exactly enough.
Coffee-pod reject pusher
Nudges defect pods off a filling line track; the stainless barrel copes with humid, washed-down surroundings.
Incubator vent door nudge
Gently opens a small incubator or oven door 60 mm for venting, the cushion easing the swing at both ends.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X60SU the Right Cylinder?
Nothing smaller exists in the series, so size up when in doubt: a 20 mm bore gives 157 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 25 mm bore 245.3 N. Pressure window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Remember the MAC does not lock - centring the valve lets the rod float, so a load held mid-stroke needs a rod lock or pilot check valve. The U cover plus an FA flange or LB foot covers fixed frames, while SDB suits a pivot pin; specify G or NPT threads if your plant does not run PT.
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 MAC16X60SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Theoretical ceiling about 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 60 mm stroke sits inside the standard 500 mm range, ports are M5x0.8, rod thread M6x1.0, rod 6 mm, speed 30-800 mm/s.
The flat rear face seats against a bracket or machine plate for a single through-bolt fixing with no pivot play. Add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket when the frame needs a dedicated mount, and the built-in magnet keeps CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switch positions flexible along the 60 mm stroke.
