The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X190SCM 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.
Where a pivoting tool needs reach, the MAC40X190SCM pairs a 190 mm stroke with 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) and 528 N of return pull, rising to 880 N at 0.7 MPa. Air drives the piston both ways, and needle-screw air cushions at each end absorb the shock of full-speed stops so covers and tooling last longer.
The round barrel is stainless steel, rolled onto aluminium covers over a hard-chrome plated rod - riveted construction that stands up to washdown, rain and coastal air. Expect around 377 N of dependable working push at 0.5 MPa after friction, rather than the 628 N headline. A magnet ships in the piston as standard, so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch signals stroke ends from day one.

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.
Clamps a machining-fixture door through a 190 mm swing on the CM pivot pin; 528 N of pull releases it quickly.
Drives a small water-treatment sluice or damper where wet air and outdoor rain demand the stainless barrel.
Ejects filled cases off a palletiser infeed; about 377 N of usable push copes with a 25 kg case plus friction.
With 402 N from a 32 mm bore and 981 N from a 50 mm at the same 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm barrel is the middle choice at 628 N. A cushion softens the last few millimetres of travel but is not a brake - cut the air and the rod drifts, so use a pilot check valve or rod lock for loads that must stay put. The CM round-end back cover carries a pivot pin in a clean rounded profile; FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets cover base mounting. Guide the load externally on 190 mm strokes to keep bending off the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
40 mm bore with 190 mm stroke, 16 mm rod, 1/8 in air port and M12x1.25 rod thread. Push 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa; push 880 N and pull 739 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The CM cover provides the pivot point in a rounded profile, so a clevis or trunnion pin fits without add-on brackets, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets handle fixed bases. Open both cushion needles fully before first run, then close them gradually.
