Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SU 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 MAC40X60SU
Stainless round barrel, hard-chrome plated rod and riveted aluminium covers: the U-version MAC40X60SU is built for corners of the plant where painted minis corrode first. The 40 mm bore pushes 628 N at 0.5 MPa and 880 N at 0.7 MPa, double acting on both strokes, with a variable air cushion at each end tuned by the needle screws.
On the lift side, 628 N is roughly 64 kgf of raw thrust, so halved for margin the cylinder still raises about 32 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa, a realistic match for small fixture and tooling weights. The U flat-end back cover bolts flush against fixed surfaces, and the built-in magnet is standard, ready for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches without a special piston.

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 MAC40X60SU Is Used
Die shuttle positioner
Moves a 30 kg sliding die shuttle along a press feeder; the flat-end U cover bolts straight to the machine frame.
Bench press assist
880 N at 0.7 MPa presses bushings into housings on an assembly bench, with the rear cushion damping the return stroke.
Mixer head lift
Raises a 25 kg agitator head vertically with margin to spare; a DMSG switch confirms the raised position to the controller.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X60SU the Right Cylinder?
Between the 32 mm bore at 402 N and the 50 mm bore at 981 N (both 0.5 MPa figures), this 40 mm unit sits squarely in mid-duty territory. Remember the rod will drift if supply air drops, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve upstream wherever position must be held. The flat-end U cover plus an LB foot or FA flange covers most fixed frames, I and Y knuckles handle the rod end, and 1/8" ports keep plumbing simple.
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 MAC40X60SU FAQ
Expect 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod resist corrosion and rinse-off, a real advantage over painted steel minis in damp or food areas. The rolled body stays sealed through washdown cycles, and the hard chrome keeps rod wear low over long duty.
