The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X125SCASDB is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm 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.
Mount it once and it pivots forever: the MAC40X125SCASDB combines the 40 mm bore, 125 mm stroke MAC cylinder with an SDB pivot bracket on the rear cover, giving a swing mounting that tracks linkage arcs without shims or re-alignment. Push is 628.3 N and pull 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, double acting with a variable air cushion at each end to tune the stop. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome 16 mm rod shrug off the coolant mist and condensation that eat painted mini cylinders, across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s.
Working the numbers: keep steady loads near 377 N at 0.5 MPa, about 60% of rated push, and the cylinder will tolerate pressure sag and seal wear without stalling. A magnet is part of every MA-series piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches sense both stroke ends the day it is installed - no special-order piston, no external flags.

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.
| 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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Pulls the safety latch on a loading-dock leveler; the pivot mount follows the plate as it tilts and 527.8 N of pull retracts the pin.
Rotates a case 90 degrees on a packaging infeed; the SDB pivot tracks the arc and the cushion stops the arm without jarring the box.
Raises a 30 kg stainless lid on a 200 L mix vessel - half the 64 kg vertical rating gives a 2:1 margin - then cushions it open.
Choose a 32 mm bore when 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is plenty, or move to a 50 mm bore (981.3 N) for heavier gate and press duties; the 40 mm covers the wide middle ground. Remember the MAC holds nothing on lost air - a centred valve lets the rod drift under load - so pair it with a pilot check valve or rod lock where position must persist. The SDB bracket plus CA pivot eye covers most swing-link frames; FA flanges and LB feet bolt to the same body for rigid mounts. Guide any side load externally over the 125 mm stroke to protect the rod bushing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628.3 N push, 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 879.6 N push, 738.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Connections are 1/8" ports with an M12x1.25 thread on the 16 mm rod.
It bolts a pivoting rear mounting to the same round stainless body, so the cylinder can follow a linkage arc on gates, arms and levers without fabricating a bracket. The CA pivot eye and the LB foot or FA flange options cover fixed-mount frames, and every version keeps the standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
