Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X160SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X160SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 160mm 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 MAC40X160SCA
Swing a linkage or lift a hinged guard through 160 mm and the MAC40X160SCA brings 628 N of push (528 N pull) at 0.5 MPa - double acting, with a variable air cushion at each end to tame end-of-stroke shock. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s.
The CA pivot back cover lets the cylinder follow an arc without extra clevis hardware, while the riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod stand up to splash and humidity. On the vertical-lift side, 628 N at 0.5 MPa equates to about 64 kgf, so halve it for margin and you can lift roughly 32 kg vertically with confidence.

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 MAC40X160SCA Is Used
Hopper gate swing
Swings a chute gate on a small feed hopper through its arc; the CA pivot tracks the motion while the cushion settles the gate onto its stop.
Lift table assist
Assists a scissor linkage raising 30 kg trays between bench and conveyor levels; 628 N at 0.5 MPa keeps the linkage from stalling mid-travel.
Punch feed arm
Indexes strip stock into a notching press over 160 mm; the built-in magnet and a DMSG switch confirm the arm is home before the press cycles.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X160SCA the Right Cylinder?
For 160 mm of travel, compare the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your linkage multiplies force, or the 50 mm bore (981 N) for direct heavy lifting. A pivoting CA mount plus an SDB pivot bracket keeps the rod aligned through the stroke - check the load swings in the rod axis to limit side load on the 16 mm rod. The piston will drift if air is lost, so fit a pilot check valve on load-holding jobs. Port is 1/8"; rod thread M12x1.25.
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 MAC40X160SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum near 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Double-acting construction moves the rod on air in both directions, 30-800 mm/s.
No - every MAC cylinder ships with the magnet built into the piston. CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and solid-state switches clip straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke signals, no custom piston required.
