The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X275SUH is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 275mm 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.
275 mm of stroke with real muscle behind it: at 0.5 MPa this bore delivers 628.3 N forward and 527.8 N back, climbing to 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The MAC40X275SUH is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, so you can ease end-of-stroke shock while running 30-800 mm/s. Budget roughly 377 N for real work at 0.5 MPa and the cylinder will reward you with a long service life.
Like every MAC, it is a riveted round-body unit: a stainless-steel barrel with rolled aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated 16 mm carbon-steel rod, which is why it outlasts painted minis in damp or washdown corners. Air enters through 1/8" ports and the rod thread is M12x1.25. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). The magnet ships standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount 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.

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.
The 275 mm stroke clears a full conveyor lane while 628 N slides a loaded carton sideways at 0.5 MPa.
Air cushion at both ends lets the rod eject stamped parts fast then decelerate gently, protecting the die fixture.
About 32 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin matches typical tray stacks, and the stainless body handles flour-dust washdown.
Size both ways before committing: a MAC32 gives about 402 N at 0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, while a MAC50 reaches 981 N for heavier pushes. Note that a plain MAC drifts when air is removed - if the rod must hold position on power loss, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The flat-end back cover suits fixed mounts; add FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets and I/Y rod knuckles as the machine needs. The trailing H in this suffix is a datasheet-level detail worth confirming before you order.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Yes - every MAC ships with a built-in piston magnet, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap onto the barrel straight out of the box. No special piston or factory option is needed, and the 16 mm hard-chrome rod gives the switch a repeatable target position.
