The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC40X85SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 85mm 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.
An 85 mm stroke in the 40 mm cushioned class gives the MAC40X85SCM real push: 628 N at 0.5 MPa (rising to 880 N at 0.7 MPa) while pulling back with 528 N. AirTAC rates this double-acting round mini up to 128.1 kgf theoretical, and the variable air cushion at both ends lets you trim end-of-stroke shock so you can run 30-800 mm/s under heavier loads.
The body is a riveted stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod - a build that shrugs off washdown and mild corrosion where painted minis fail. Since the magnet is standard, CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special piston, and a quick sum shows about 377 N of dependable working force at 0.5 MPa, not just the headline rating.

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. |
| ×85 | 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.
Swings full PET bottles between lanes; 628 N at 0.5 MPa clears a jammed bottle row without hesitation.
Riveted stainless body and 16 mm chrome rod handle booth humidity and periodic washdown of car or bike part jigs.
The 85 mm stroke punches a 40 mm-deep notch at about 377 N of working force; the variable cushion stops the ram gently.
Compare both directions: the 32 mm bore gives 402 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 50 mm bore gives 981 N, so the 40 mm 628 N class sits between them for medium clamping and lifting. Keep in mind that when the valve centres or air is lost this cylinder simply drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
The CM round-end back cover suits clevis-style pivots, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on for fixed mounting. Port is 1/8" on the 40 mm bore with a M12x1.25 male rod thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N and pull to 738.9 N. Theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and the 1/8" ports take 40 um filtered air.
Back both needle screws fully off before start-up, then close them gradually until the 85 mm stroke ends quietly under load. The cushion is variable air, not a brake - it softens impact but does not hold the piston, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve for loads that must stay in place.
