The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X650SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 650mm 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.
Some machines simply need reach, and this made-to-order 650 mm stroke on a 40 mm bore delivers it without giving up force: 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, rising to 880 N at 0.7 MPa. Double acting throughout, with needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends that matter even more as stroke, and therefore impact energy, grows.
Derate for durability and the numbers still work: about 377 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to index a 35 kg pallet on low-friction guides. The CM round-end back cover offers a pivoting fixing without extra hardware, the stainless barrel with hard-chrome rod laughs off washdown mist, and the standard magnet keeps CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches on the menu from day one.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×650 | 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.
Pushes totes off the back of a 650 mm deep pick slot; the variable cushion absorbs the impact at full extension.
Drags a cable-chain carriage along a machining center; guided tooling keeps the long rod straight over the full travel.
Latches forklift battery compartments on washdown-prone charging bays; the stainless body resists battery mist and rinse-down.
Check the neighbors before committing: 402 N from a 32 mm bore or 981 N from a 50 mm bore at 0.5 MPa may fit better than this in-between 628 N. Long strokes punish side loads, so guide the payload externally and keep thrust axial. Air lost equals motion lost on any double-acting MAC, the rod simply coasts, so park loads with a rod lock or pilot check valve. The CM round-end cover can be swapped for CA pivot or U flat-end just by changing the code; 1/8" ports are standard on this bore.
Quick checklist
Push is 628.3 N and pull 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 879.6 N and 738.9 N respectively. The theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa, all within a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working band at 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MAC-series cylinder, this one included, ships with the piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals with no special-order piston.
