The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X350SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm 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.
Long travel with muscle: this 40 mm bore MAC pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 879.6 N when you feed it 0.7 MPa. Air drives the rod out and back, and needle-adjustable cushions at each end soak up the momentum of 350 mm travel. The CM round-end back cover bolts flush to a fixed face without an adapter plate, and the piston magnet ships standard for CMSG or EMSG sensing.
A riveted stainless barrel, aluminium-alloy covers and a 20 um hard-chrome rod give the body its corrosion edge in damp plants. Run it 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s. For sizing, count on near 377 N of honest working force at 0.5 MPa - the design figure most machine builders apply - or about 32 kg of vertical lift at half margin.

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.

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×350 | 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.
Clamps washer door panels at the weld cell with 628 N hold force at 0.5 MPa and a magnet-sensed confirm signal.
Rejects leaning cartons on the outfeed; the air cushion stops the 350 mm ram without slamming the end stop.
Raises sample trays of up to roughly 32 kg vertically between stations, with switch feedback at both ends.
A 32 mm bore would save air but cap you at 402 N push; a 50 mm bore reaches 981 N but costs more. The 40 mm sits between with 628 N and a 16 mm rod. If the valve centres mid-cycle the rod coasts freely - cushions stop shock, they do not park the load - so a pilot check valve or rod lock belongs on any held station. Mount the CM end flat, add an FA flange or SDB bracket if the frame needs one, and brace long strokes against side load.
Quick checklist
Push is 628.3 N and pull 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Port size is 1/8", rod thread M12x1.25, rod 16 mm, stroke 350 mm.
No. Every MAC40X350SCM ships with the piston magnet built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip onto the barrel and read position immediately - no special-order piston required.
