Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X10SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" 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 MAC20X10SCA
Ten millimetres of travel, a rear pivot eye, no fuss. This AirTAC MAC mini pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa (22-145 psi) through a 10 mm stroke - enough to trip levers and flip chutes on machines where a bigger bore would just get in the way. The CA back cover ends in a pivot eye, so the cylinder can swing with a rocker arm instead of fighting it sideways. The body is a riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome 8 mm rod, aluminium covers and grease-storing two-way piston seals.
Air cushion is variable at both ends, so even a 10 mm snap can be softened for delicate tooling. Every unit carries its magnet from the factory; hang a CMSG or EMSG switch on the barrel for end-of-stroke signals. For daily work, budget about 94 N - six tenths of the rated push - and the cylinder will run its full service life rather than stall at mid-pressure.

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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 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 MAC20X10SCA Is Used
Rocker arm on a filling line
Trips a bottle-deflector rocker each cycle; the CA pivot tracks the arm's arc so the 8 mm rod never takes side load.
Stopper gate on a cartoning bench
Pops a 10 mm stopper pin up to hold one folding carton while the glue cures, then drops clear in under 0.1 s.
Nozzle tilt on a lab dispenser
Tilts a wash nozzle between two positions over a microplate; the cushioning keeps each swap shake-free.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare before committing: a 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa if the lever is light; a 25 mm bore offers 245.3 N for stiff cam followers. The CA eye pairs naturally with an I or Y rod knuckle to build a pivoting linkage; bolt an FA flange on the front if the body itself must stay fixed. If the arm has to hold mid-position with the valve centred, add a pilot check valve - a cushioned MAC will drift.
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 MAC20X10SCA FAQ
Push 157 N and pull 132 N at 0.5 MPa; push 220 N and pull 185 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Bore 20 mm, stroke 10 mm, 8 mm rod with M8x1.25 thread, 1/8" port, working pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The CA eye lets the cylinder rotate with the driven lever, so side bending on the hard-chrome rod stays near zero in linkages like rocker gates. The magnet inside is standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches bolt straight on.
