Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 MAC40X60SCA
Short and stout, the MAC40X60SCA trades travel for punch: a 40 mm bore with just 60 mm of stroke in the MAC round-body format, double acting and softened at both ends by a variable air cushion. The stainless tube, chrome-plated 16 mm rod and riveted aluminium covers shrug off damp shop air far better than painted mini cylinders.
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628.3 N on extension and 527.8 N on retraction; keep the live load near 377 N so the cylinder is never stressed to the wall. That is roughly 64 kg of vertical lift, or 32 kg if you double the margin. Air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s covers most clamping cycles, and the standard magnet suits CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing.

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.
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 MAC40X60SCA Is Used
Clamp on a welding fixture
Holds a bracket against a jig while welding, using about 377 N of clamp force with the cushion absorbing the final approach.
Reject gate on an inspection line
Kicks non-conforming parts off a vision-inspection conveyor with a quick 60 mm push between passing product.
Jam stopper on a packaging machine
Stops product flow into a bagger during a jam; the 628 N push holds a divert plate firmly in the stream until cleared.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
Force-wise, 32 mm (402.2 N at 0.5 MPa) handles lighter clamps and 50 mm (981.3 N) takes the heavy end, so the 40 mm bore covers the middle ground. With only 60 mm of travel, side loads are less punishing than on long strokes, yet alignment still matters - the CA pivot back cover forgives small misalignment at the rod end. When the valve centres or pressure drops, the piston moves freely, so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock if the clamp must stay closed. Port size is 1/8 inch and rod thread M12x1.25.
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 MAC40X60SCA FAQ
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; theoretical peak 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), keep speed between 30 and 800 mm/s, and the 60 mm stroke is a standard catalogue length. Port is 1/8 inch, rod thread M12x1.25.
The pivot eye on the CA cover lets the cylinder articulate slightly as the clamp closes, absorbing small alignment errors without stressing the rod. Mount alternatives include FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot, and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for clamp-confirm signals.
