The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X210SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 210mm 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 210 mm of travel and 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore MAC suits long reach-over and transfer motions. It is double acting, and the variable air cushion at each end can be opened gradually to suit 30-800 mm/s speeds and heavy loads. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Ports are 1/8" on this bore.
The CA pivot back cover lets the body swing on a pin - useful for arc and gate movements - and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts bolt on when a fixed frame is preferred. The stainless barrel resists washdown-style damp; plan real loads around 377 N rather than the full 628.3 N rating.

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.

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.
Pushes cartons across a 200 mm pitch transfer plate on a packing line, cushioned for reliable 800 mm/s cycling at the end of each stroke.
Swings small tote bins into a dump chute on the CA pivot pin; 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa tips loaded bins under cushioned control.
Raises a vial rack 210 mm between washing and filling stations on a pharma line, with external rails guiding the rack so the rod sees thrust only.
At 210 mm of stroke keep side loads off the 16 mm rod - guide the load externally with linear rails or a cam so the rod sees pure thrust. Force-wise, a 32 mm bore offers 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa while a 50 mm bore steps up to 981.3 N; this 40 mm bore's 628.3 N fits most transfer duties between them.
The CA pivot back cover lets the body swing on a pin, useful for arc and gate movements, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts bolt on when a fixed frame is preferred. If power fails mid-travel the piston coasts, so specify a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever the load must stay parked.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 628.3 N and pull is 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it is 879.6 N push against 738.9 N pull. The theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Working near 377 N keeps a healthy service margin over the long stroke.
It carries a pivot pin so the body can swing in an arc without extra brackets. If the frame prefers a fixed mount, FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware bolts on, and I or Y rod knuckles cover the load end.
