Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X100SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X100SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" 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 MAC50X100SCA
At the top of the MA mini family, the 50 mm bore MAC50X100SCA delivers 981 N of push and 881 N of pull at 0.5 MPa across a 100 mm stroke, double acting with a variable air cushion at each end. It runs anywhere in the 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) band and the 30-800 mm/s speed window; open the cushion needle screws gradually on first start-up so the ends decelerate the load instead of hammering the covers.
Because roughly 60 percent of the 981 N rating is a sensible working figure, plan on about 589 N of real push at 0.5 MPa - enough to lift about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The riveted stainless barrel shrugs off washdown and damp shop air, and the built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on 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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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 MAC50X100SCA Is Used
Case lift on a wrap line
A 100 mm raise lifts filled cartons of about 40-50 kg between conveyor levels; the stainless barrel tolerates daily wipe-down in the packing hall.
CNC fixture clamping
981 N of push clamps aluminium billets on a machining centre fixture table, with the cushion absorbing the final seating snap.
Reject gate actuation
Swings a divert gate to eject underweight packs at the checkweigher, cycling at 300-500 mm/s under the CA pivot mount.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare with the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load sits under about 60 kg, or step up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N) when you need more muscle. When the supply valve centres or air is lost, the piston drifts freely - a rod lock or pilot check valve is the fix for a held load. The CA pivot back cover takes a clevis-style swing directly; add an LB foot or FA flange if a fixed mount suits the machine better. The 1/4" port and 16 mm rod keep air flow generous at this bore.
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 MAC50X100SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 1374 N and the pull to 1233 N. The theoretical ceiling is about 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No - every MAC cylinder carries a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop straight onto the barrel around the 16 mm rod for end-of-stroke signalling.
