The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X75SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm 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.
Need a little more travel than the common 70 mm? The 75 mm stroke of this CA-pivot MAC keeps the 40 mm bore's 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, comfortably above the 245 N of a 25 mm unit. Double-acting air powers both directions, and the variable cushion at each end is turned in on commissioning - back the needles off, then close them until the load lands soft.
Its riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chrome 16 mm rod take food splash and humid cells in stride where painted minis blister. At 0.5 MPa the rod can raise about 64 kg vertically; with a 2:1 margin plan on roughly 32 kg of real lifted weight. The magnet comes standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without special orders.

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.

| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | 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.
A sliding guard door on a CNC cell opens its 75 mm latch travel off the CA pivot eye; 628 N at 0.5 MPa swings the interlock lever while the magnet-fed EMSG switch proves full-open before spindle start.
Swing clamps on a tube welding fixture rotate clear of the loader's path; the pivot mount tracks the lever and the tuned cushion stops the clamp arm cracking into its stop at cycle rate.
On a tray line stacking baked-goods trays, the 75 mm stroke indexes one tray pitch per signal and about 377 N of working push at 0.5 MPa handles loaded steel trays without jarring the stack.
Weigh it against the 32 mm bore at 402 N (0.5 MPa push) for shorter, lighter swings or the 50 mm bore at 981 N for heavy doors. The CA pivot eye pairs with FA flange, LB foot or SDB brackets; for pure fixed pushes the U or CM back covers may suit better. A standard MAC cannot park a load - with the valve centred the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must persist. Ports 1/8", rod thread M12x1.25, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
Push 628 N and pull 528 N at 0.5 MPa; push 880 N and pull 739 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Bore 40 mm, stroke 75 mm, 16 mm rod with M12x1.25 thread, 1/8" ports, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, adjustable cushion at both ends.
Not by itself - a double-acting MAC with no pilot check or rod lock drifts as soon as air is vented or the valve centres. The end cushion only softens deceleration; it is not a brake. For raised or clamped loads that must persist, add a pilot-operated check valve or specify a rod-lock variant.
