Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X10SCA
The AirTAC MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X10SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm 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 MAC40X10SCA
A 10 mm stroke on a 40 mm bore turns the MAC40X10SCA into a punch-in, punch-out actuator: 628 N forward and 528 N back at 0.5 MPa, rising to 880 N push at 0.7 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, so even this tiny travel stops soft instead of ringing, and it cycles at 30-800 mm/s on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
The rolled stainless round barrel and hard-chrome 16 mm rod take coolant mist and mild washdown in stride, resisting the scoring that ruins plain rods over millions of short clamp cycles. A CA pivot back cover lets the whole cylinder swivel with the linkage, no adapter bracket needed. The built-in magnet comes as standard, so a CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch confirms clamp position without a special-order piston.

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 MAC40X10SCA Is Used
Hold-down clamp on a drill jig
Snaps the clamp shoe over the workpiece in 10 mm and holds 628 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
Carton push-off on a case packer
A short nudge seats flap folders into place between conveyor indexes, cushioned so the board is never crushed.
Sample tray shift on lab automation
Short precise tray moves; the standard magnet plus a CMSG switch reports each end position back to the PLC.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter clamp step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a heavier one the 50 mm bore delivers 981 N. Like every plain double-acting cylinder, the rod drifts once air is removed, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve if the clamp must stay closed on power loss. The CA pivot pairs naturally with an SDB pivot bracket; PT, G and NPT ports can all be ordered.
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 MAC40X10SCA FAQ
Push 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa; push 880 N and pull 739 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum about 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air ports are 1/8", rod thread M12x1.25, rod 16 mm. The 10 mm stroke is a standard offering for this 40 mm bore.
The CA pivot lets the whole cylinder rotate with a toggle or lever linkage, so the rod stays in pure thrust instead of bending. Combine it with an SDB pivot bracket and mounting needs no machining on your frame.
