Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 MAC20X60SCA
Compact at just 60 mm of stroke, the MAC20X60SCA is a double-acting stainless mini cylinder whose CA pivot back cover lets the body swing with the load, no extra clevis bracket to buy. Both strokes are air powered and both ends carry a variable air cushion, so short fast moves stay quiet. Expect 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, which in day-to-day terms means about 94 N of dependable working force or a vertical lift of roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 margin.
The round stainless barrel with hard-chrome rod is the reason this cylinder survives splash zones and outdoor duty that ruin painted minis, and the rolled aluminium covers keep the seal tight for years. Since every MA-series piston carries a standard magnet, a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch drops onto the barrel whenever end-of-stroke signalling is needed.

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 MAC20X60SCA Is Used
Parcel flipper on a sorter
Tipping small parcels off a sorter belt, with the CA pivot cover letting the cylinder track the flipper arm's arc through its 60 mm sweep.
Clamp arm on a weld fixture
Swinging a clamp arm down onto brackets before welding, where about 94 N of working force at 0.5 MPa holds thin-gauge parts without crushing.
Diverter flap on a bottle filler
Kicking bottles between lanes on a rinse line, with the pivot mount absorbing flap misalignment and the cushion stopping the flap gently at both ends.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
The 157 N push at 0.5 MPa places this bore between a 16 mm MAC at 100.5 N and a 25 mm MAC at 245.3 N; pick the smaller for light positioning, the larger for clamping that needs over 100 N of working force. When air is lost or the valve centres, the rod simply floats, so for a clamped part that must stay fixed use a check valve or rod lock downstream. Within the 60 mm stroke, side load is rarely an issue, but align the pivot axis with the load line so the 8 mm rod sees pure thrust. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets combine with the CA cover, and the standard magnet suits all CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
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 MAC20X60SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 157 N push, 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N push, 184.7 N pull. Theoretical maximum 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/8" ports, 8 mm rod with M8x1.25 male thread, standard stroke 60 mm within the 500 mm bore ceiling.
It provides a swinging mount point built into the cylinder itself, ideal for arms, levers and flaps whose motion is not perfectly straight. Combined with the standard internal magnet, you can bolt the cylinder on, add a CMSG or EMSG switch for feedback, and run 30-800 mm/s with the cushion tuned to the load.
