Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X130SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X130SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 130mm 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 MAC20X130SU
At 20 mm bore and 130 mm of stroke, this flat-end U version of the MAC pushes 157 N and retracts with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa; step the supply to 0.7 MPa and the numbers become 219.8 N and 184.7 N, with 32 kgf as the theoretical maximum. Work the cylinder at around 94 N - six tenths of the push rating - and seal life stays healthy. It is fully double acting on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air.
Inside sits a high-precision stainless barrel carrying a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, with aluminium covers rolled on for a riveted, sealed round body - no tie-rod sets to check. Needle-screw cushions at both stroke ends let you start loose and tighten gradually, so faster cycling toward 800 mm/s does not hammer the covers, and the standard built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches from day one.

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 MAC20X130SU Is Used
Weld jig feed
Feeds a bracket onto locating pins in a spot-welding fixture, the U cover bolted flat against the jig plate with the 130 mm stroke covering the insert travel.
Hopper metering gate
Opens and closes the slide gate under a small granulate hopper, metering doses with a cushioned stop at each end of the gate travel.
Camera column
Raises a vision camera between inspection heights on a packaging line gantry, lifting about 8 kg of camera hardware with a 2:1 force margin.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X130SU the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) or up to the 25 mm bore (245.3 N) depending on the load; this 157 N size handles the range between. Remember it holds nothing once air drops - the piston coasts with the valve centred, so a rod lock or pilot check valve is the answer for held loads. The U flat-end back cover takes fixed bolting as it stands, or spec FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot codes to suit the frame. A 130 mm stroke tolerates modest side load only, so guide the work or decouple it through an I or Y rod knuckle.
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 MAC20X130SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 157 N extend, 131.9 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N extend, 184.7 N retract. Theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It connects via a 1/8" port (bore 20), the 8 mm rod is threaded M8x1.25, and the 130 mm stroke is standard for this bore.
The U flat-end cover lets you bolt the cylinder straight to a machine plate. If the frame needs something else, add FA (flange), LB (foot) or SDB (pivot bracket) to the order code, or choose a CA pivot or CM round-end cover instead - all without external adaptor plates.
