Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X600SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X600SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X600SCA
For 600 mm of powered travel at mid-range force, the MAC40X600SCA pairs a 40 mm bore with a CA pivot back cover. Double acting with dual variable cushions, it develops 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa; treat about 377 N as the practical working figure, enough to raise roughly 32 kg against gravity with a 2:1 margin. The 600 mm stroke sits above the 500 mm standard cap for bore 40, so it is quoted as a made-to-order length.
Inside is the classic MAC build: a riveted stainless-steel tube, aluminium covers and a 20 um hard-chrome rod that resists the corrosion painted bodies collect. The CA cover's integral pivot eye lets the cylinder swing in a linkage, and the standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position feedback without any options list.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X600SCA Is Used
Gantry arm on a vehicle wash
Swings the spray boom across a car wash gantry on its CA pivot, with the stainless barrel standing up to constant spray.
Pallet straightener pusher
Squares misaligned pallets over a 600 mm run before they enter the stretch-wrapper.
Swing clamp on a weld fixture
Pulls a long swing clamp clear of the robot envelope between weld cycles on an automotive line.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X600SCA the Right Cylinder?
The 32 mm bore delivers 402 N at 0.5 MPa if the duty is light, while the 50 mm bore (981 N) covers heavier thrust. Remember the piston coasts freely when the valve centres or air is lost - pair a pilot check valve or rod lock with any suspended load. Bolt the body with an FA flange or LB foot if a fixed mount suits better than the pivot, and brace long strokes like this one against side load to protect the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X600SCA FAQ
Rated push at 0.5 MPa is 628 N with 528 N on the pull side; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 880 N. The 40 mm bore tops out at a theoretical 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, moving 30-800 mm/s.
The CA cover carries a built-in pivot eye, so the cylinder hangs on a pin in linkages and swing arms without adding a separate knuckle bracket. U flat-end and CM round-end covers exist for fixed and pivot-fitting cases alike, and FA flange or LB foot plates can be added when the body itself must be held.
