The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X130SCALB is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm 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.
Need both a pivot and a fixed base? The MAC40X130SCALB pairs a CA pivot back cover with an LB foot bracket on the same 40 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, double acting body. It pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a variable air cushion at each end to trim end-of-stroke shock. The riveted stainless barrel shrugs off washdown and humidity where painted minis would rust, and the 20 um hard-chrome plated rod keeps seal wear low.
For a dependable design point use about 377 N at 0.5 MPa - some 60% of the push rating - or expect roughly 64 kg of vertical lift, best limited to about 32 kg for a two-to-one margin. The magnet is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on.

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.

| ×130 | 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.
Pins a forklift attachment latch on a warehouse truck; foot and pivot mounting in one cylinder keeps the bracket layout compact.
Pushes the leading case off a depalletizer grid; LB foot fixing absorbs the reaction force while the CA clevis follows the link path.
Trims a small sluice gate on a water-treatment skid outdoors; the stainless barrel resists weather and the cushion eases gate seating.
From a force view, 40 mm sits between the 32 mm bore (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm bore (981.3 N) - this one gives 628.3 N. LB foot brackets hold the body square while the CA pivot cover takes the clevis, a tidy combination for link-driven fixtures. Strokes above 500 mm become made-to-order on this bore, and because the cylinder cannot hold position without air, a pilot check valve or rod lock is the answer for suspended loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical ceiling is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Connections are 1/8" ports; the 16 mm rod carries M12x1.25 thread. Air range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
The barrel is precision stainless steel rolled onto aluminium covers, with the rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um, so condensation, cleaning chemicals and outdoor exposure cause far less trouble than on painted-steel bodies. There are no external fasteners to work loose, and the two-way piston seal retains grease for long service between overhauls.
