The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X190SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 190mm 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.
Lift, press or divert with 190 mm of travel and 628 N behind it - at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) this 40 mm bore delivers 628 N out and 528 N back, climbing to 880 N at 0.7 MPa. Being double acting, air does the work in both directions, and the variable air cushion at each end is dialled in with needle screws so heavier loads stop softly at full speed.
Build quality is where the MAC range earns its keep: a stainless round barrel riveted to aluminium covers, plus a hard-chrome plated rod, resists the washdown mist and outdoor damp that corrode painted minis. Budget for about 377 N of genuine working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 628 N. Every unit carries a standard piston magnet, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit without special ordering.

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.

| 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.
Raises a locating jig with about 32 kg of vertical lift capability, using the 64 kgf push rating at 0.5 MPa with a 2:1 margin.
Slides a baking-oven damper open and shut; the stainless body stands up to the humid washdown regime of a food plant.
Swings a diverter arm on the CA clevis pin between two conveyor lanes, with a DMSG switch confirming each side.
Sizing by 0.5 MPa push: 32 mm gives 402 N, this bore 628 N, and 50 mm 981 N - choose the 40 when loads sit near 35 kg. If the load must hold when air is lost, note that the rod coasts freely once pressure drops; a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix. The CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis pin for swinging motion, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets handle fixed mounts. On a 190 mm stroke, avoid side loads on the 16 mm rod or support the tooling with external guides.
Quick checklist
40 mm bore, 190 mm stroke, 16 mm rod, 1/8 in port, M12x1.25 rod thread. Forces: 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 880 N push and 739 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 128.1 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Temperature span is -20 to +70 C.
Yes, and at no option cost - the piston magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip onto the barrel. The cylinder runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um.
