Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SCM 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 MAC40X60SCM
A 40 mm bore MAC puts out 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 880 N at 0.7 MPa, so this 60 mm stroke unit handles clamping, indexing and light pressing with room to spare. It is double acting, meaning air drives the rod both out and back, and a variable air cushion at each end lets you soften landings as speed or load rises. The stainless round barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off splashes and mild washdown where painted minis would pit.
Every MAC ships with a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston. The CM round-end back cover gives you a clean pivoting fixing without extra brackets, and planning around roughly 377 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 628 N rating keeps the motion smooth over millions of cycles.

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 MAC40X60SCM Is Used
Tray clamp on a cheese line
Splash-prone dairy washdown suits the stainless barrel; 377 N of usable force holds trays square through the filler.
Pivoting chute gate
The CM round-end cover mounts straight onto the gate arm, and the rear air cushion stops the swing without metal-to-metal bang.
Pallet stop with confirmation
The standard magnet drives a CMSG switch so the PLC sees the stop position; 628 N holds the pallet against the fixture.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 628 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 32 mm bore MAC delivers 402 N; if loads creep toward 981 N, step up to the 50 mm bore. Like every double-acting MAC, this cylinder drifts once air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve when the load must stay put. Pair the CM round-end cover with an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket, or add I or Y rod knuckles, and set speed anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s window. Air ports are 1/8" on this bore.
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 MAC40X60SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Back both needle screws fully off before the first strokes, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke shock disappears. The cushion is variable, not fixed, so you can trade a little travel for a softer landing as load or speed changes.
