The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X150SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm 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.
With 880 N available at 0.7 MPa and a cushion at each end, MAC40X150SU is the flat-end member of the 40 mm MAC family, sized for 150 mm of travel. Its stainless tube and 20 um hard-chrome rod handle splash zones and outdoor duty better than anodised or painted minis, and the riveted cover build keeps everything sealed.
The U flat-end cover simplifies nose or face mounting straight to a plate. Run speeds anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band, then trim the variable cushions so the load decelerates instead of hammering. A sensible ceiling is about 377 N of push at 0.5 MPa for continuous duty - above that, move up a bore. Sensing is covered out of the crate by the standard magnet and any CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch.

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. |
| ×150 | 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.
Opens a sheet-metal guard door on a packing machine; 528 N of pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the door against its latch spring with the cushion easing the open stop.
Keeps a drive belt on a conveyor head pulley under even tension; the flat end plates directly to the sliding tensioner carriage.
Raises a stopper pin under pallet flow on an assembly line; 628 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the pin up against rolling pallet weight.
At 0.5 MPa a 32 mm bore offers 402 N push and a 50 mm bore 981 N, so this 40 mm unit fits jobs between roughly 240 and 600 N. If the application must hold position through a power loss, remember the MAC has no internal lock - a pilot check valve or rod lock takes care of that. For the 150 mm stroke, keep side load off the 12 mm rod with a guide where the tooling overhangs. Mounts: FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot; thread options are PT, G or NPT.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 880 N push and 739 N pull. Maximum theoretical force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply air filtered to 40 um, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
No - every MA-series cylinder leaves the factory with the piston magnet already installed, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches simply clamp onto the stainless barrel and slide to the switching point you need.
