Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X100SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X100SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm 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 MAC40X100SU
Flat-ended and fuss-free, the MAC40X100SU is AirTAC's double-acting 40 mm mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at each end of the 100 mm stroke. Expect 628 N of push and 528 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 880 N and 739 N at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical top figure is 128.1 kgf. The U flat-end back cover bolts straight to fixed machine plates, no adapter bracket needed.
Inside, a stainless round barrel is rolled and riveted onto aluminium covers with a stainless block, forming one sealed body. The 16 mm rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, so damp workshops and periodic hose-down are non-events. A magnet comes built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit without a special piston. For sizing, count on roughly 377 N of useful work at 0.5 MPa, or about 32 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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 MAC40X100SU Is Used
Deli-tub lid press
Pressing lids onto 500 g tubs calls for a steady 628 N push; the adjustable cushion stops the ram cracking the covers at the bottom of the stroke.
Sawdust conveyor wiper
A stainless barrel and hard-chrome 16 mm rod survive the damp, resinous dust around a sawmill belt that corrodes painted-steel mini cylinders.
Hopper slide gate
Opening a slide gate on a grain blender - the U flat-end cover bolts flat to the gate frame and DMSG switches confirm open and closed positions.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X100SU the Right Cylinder?
Sizing sideways: the 32 mm bore reaches 402 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 50 mm bore 981 N, framing where this 40 mm unit lands. Supply pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof at 1.5 MPa (215 psi). If the load must stay put during a power cut, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the MAC will coast on trapped air otherwise. Mount the U flat-end cover directly to a plate, or add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket; the standard magnet already supports CMSG, DMSG and 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 MAC40X100SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa you get 628 N on extend and 528 N on retract; at 0.7 MPa that becomes 880 N and 739 N. The 1.0 MPa theoretical peak is 128.1 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Both stroke ends carry a variable air cushion. On first start, back the needle screws fully off, run the cylinder anywhere in its 30-800 mm/s band, then close the screws gradually until end-of-stroke shock disappears. Note that the cushion only slows the piston - it never locks it.
