The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X100SCASDB 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.
Fitted with an SDB pivot bracket, the MAC50X100SCASDB turns the 50 mm bore into an easy swinging actuator: 981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa over 100 mm of cushioned stroke. The double-acting design works from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, with needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends that you back off before the first cycle.
Derate once in your head and you are done: about 589 N of dependable push at 0.5 MPa, which is the 981 N rating scaled for real work and roughly a 50 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. The rolled stainless tube and hard-chrome 16 mm rod take humid, mildly corrosive air in stride, and the standard magnet means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without special ordering.

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 | 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.

| ×100 | 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 a 45 kg fixture plate through a short arc on a small assembly line; the SDB bracket carries the cylinder-side pivot.
Raises a hinged stainless lid on a food-grade soak tank, where the bare steel tube survives splash and steam better than painted bodies.
Pushes a stop bar across a roller conveyor at the mezzanine lift, holding cartons back until the hoist deck is level.
Between the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm bore (1558 N), the 50 mm sits squarely in the 50-80 kg load band. Do not expect position holding - a centred valve or lost supply lets the load drift, so spec a pilot check valve or rod lock when the arm must stay put. The SDB bracket pivots the whole cylinder while the CA back cover handles the rod-side swing; FA flange and LB foot remain available if the layout changes.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 981 N extend and 881 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 1374 N extend and 1233 N retract. The theoretical maximum is about 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa, from a 50 mm bore with a 16 mm rod and 1/4" ports.
Needle screws at both ends throttle the exhaust to decelerate the load over the last few millimetres. Start with them fully open, then close gradually until the 30-800 mm/s stroke lands without a bang. Cushions absorb shock only - they never lock the piston against drift.
