The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X200SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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.
A flat-end fixing and 200 mm of cushioned travel make the MAC40X200SU the straightforward pick when a machine plate simply bolts flat against the cylinder nose. This 40 mm double-acting mini from AirTAC delivers 628 N of push and 528 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi), with a variable air cushion at both ends to absorb the landing.
Inside is a riveted stainless-steel barrel and a 16 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod, so outdoor gates and humid workshops do not eat the body the way they would a painted-aluminium mini. Plan the load with the derated figure: three-fifths of 628 N is about 377 N of honest working force at 0.5 MPa, or a 32 kg vertical lift keeping a 2:1 factor. The built-in magnet feeds CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches with no wiring changes to the cylinder itself.

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. |
| ×200 | 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.
Raising a hinged dust cap on a farm silo vent, where 377 N of derated force swings the cap and the cushion stops it slamming open.
Lowering a mixing head into a 20 L vessel on a pilot-plant bench through the full 200 mm, with 628 N of downforce available when needed.
Keeping a hold-down roller pressed on a saw table, where the stainless barrel copes with damp timber-shop air that corrodes painted bodies.
Benchmarks either side: the 25 mm bore of this family pushes 245 N at 0.5 MPa and the 63 mm bore reaches 1558 N, so 40 mm sits comfortably in the middle for mid-weight pushes. Porting is 1/8 inch on this bore (PT standard, G or NPT to order). Because the MAC is not a holding cylinder - the rod drifts as soon as supply drops - add a rod lock or pilot check where the 200 mm stroke must stop mid-travel. On a stroke this long, guide the load externally so bending never reaches the rod; the U cover plus an LB foot or FA flange handles the base fixing.
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 ceiling is 128.1 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa, with supply running 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
It presents a direct flat bolting face against machine plates, so no pivot or clevis hardware is needed. If the layout changes, FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets still bolt on, and the cushion needle screws let you tune the landing at either end.
