The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X650SU 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.
Long-travel duties rarely fit a catalogue stroke, and this one does not: the MAC40X650SU runs 650 mm on a 40 mm bore, built to order beyond the 500 mm standard limit. It is double acting, so air drives the rod in both directions, and a variable air cushion at each end soaks up shock over that full travel. Push force reaches 628 N at 0.5 MPa and 880 N at 0.7 MPa.
The riveted stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off washdown and damp air, a real edge over painted minis in food or outdoor lines. Working at roughly 60 percent of rating gives about 377 N of dependable push - enough to lift about 32 kg vertically with margin in hand. A magnet comes built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on without a special-order 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.

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.
A pusher sweeps cartons across a 600 mm-wide packaging conveyor lane in a single pass, cushions settling each sweep.
Racks of machined parts rise into a wash tunnel on a vertical lift station sized inside the 32 kg vertical margin.
A sliding door on a small paint booth opens 650 mm clear of spray in one stroke, driven at modest pressure.
Step down to a 32 mm bore for 402 N at 0.5 MPa, or up to 50 mm for 981 N if loads grow. Air enters through 1/8 in ports and the 16 mm rod carries an M12x1.25 thread. With no air the piston simply drifts - the cushion is not a brake - so hold suspended loads with a rod lock or pilot check valve. Over 650 mm of travel, external guiding matters: keep side load off the rod and align the tooling square. The U flat-end cover pairs with FA flange or LB foot mounts, and SDB pivot brackets are available.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 879.6 N. The theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Keep supply inside 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Both ends carry a variable air cushion. On first run back the needle screws fully off, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke thump disappears. Cycle speed can run anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
