The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X600SCM 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.
With a 600 mm non-standard stroke, the MAC40X600SCM pushes the 40 mm MAC family into long-travel territory while keeping the compact round barrel. It is double acting with adjustable air cushioning at both ends, so the needle screws can be dialled in to tame end-of-stroke shock when you run faster or move heavier loads. Stainless barrel, hard-chrome plated rod and rolled aluminium covers give it a real edge over painted minis in wet or outdoor spots.
Output at 0.5 MPa is 628.3 N extend and 527.8 N retract - budget on about 377 N to leave working headroom, enough to raise roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor (64 kg theoretical). The CM round-end back cover keeps rear pivoting simple without stacking a separate bracket, and the magnet fitted as standard accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches straight away.

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. |
| ×600 | 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.
Drives a fabric batching carriage across a 600 mm lay on a winding frame, cushion tuned so the load settles without overshoot.
Slides a lightweight door on a food store line, where the stainless barrel and chrome rod laugh at washdown humidity.
Ejects long extrusions off a die table after forming, pushing about 377 N of real resistance down the full 600 mm travel.
Compare before committing: the 32 mm bore offers 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa and the 50 mm bore 981.3 N, so 628.3 N at 40 mm is the middle choice. A 600 mm rod has little resistance to side loading - fit external guides on sliding doors or long pushers to protect it. Remember this cylinder holds nothing when the valve centres or air fails; a pilot check valve or rod lock does that job. Strokes beyond 500 mm are made to order, so allow for it when scheduling.
Quick checklist
Push 628.3 N and pull 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; push 879.6 N and pull 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa; 128.1 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. Speeds run 30-800 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The 600 mm stroke is a made-to-order length.
It gives a rounded rear end suited to pivot mounting without extra brackets, with FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot options if the installation changes. The built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount immediately for stroke-end detection.
