Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X80SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X80SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm 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 MAC16X80SCA
A CA pivot eye in the back cover lets the MAC16X80SCA swing on levers, linkages and clamp arms without a separate bracket. The cylinder itself is a double-acting mini with a variable air cushion at both ends: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Size link forces to about 60 N so the 16 mm bore never runs at its ceiling.
Behind the pivot sits a rolled stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod, a combination that resists washdown and outdoor damp where painted minis corrode. The magnet is standard fitment, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches read stroke position straight away, and the cushion needles tune arrival shock across the 30-800 mm/s speed band.

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 MAC16X80SCA Is Used
Clamp arm on a welding fixture
A swing clamp link holds sheet steel against a jig; the CA pivot eye follows the arm arc and 100.5 N keeps thin plate seated.
Divider blade between conveyor lanes
Swings a guide blade to split carton flow; the variable cushion stops the blade rattling at the end of each 80 mm sweep.
Index lever on a small rotary table
Drives a pawl lever through 80 mm; the magnet plus a CMSG switch confirms detent position before the table turns.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC16X80SCA the Right Cylinder?
The 16 mm bore is the smallest in the MAC line; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa leaves no margin, the 20 mm bore offers 157 N and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N at the same pressure. A pivot mount suits swinging motion, but the rod will drift if air pressure drops - a pilot check valve or rod lock holds a suspended load. Stroke is 80 mm against a 500 mm standard maximum for bore 16, ports are M5x0.8, and the M6x1.0 rod thread takes standard I or Y knuckles.
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 MAC16X80SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those become 140.7 N and 120.9 N. Maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), tolerates 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and cycles at 30-800 mm/s.
When the cylinder works through an arc - clamp arms, diverters, levers - the CA eye lets the body swing instead of fighting the pin. It mounts without extra brackets, the stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod cope with damp or washed-down areas, and the standard magnet fits CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position feedback.
