Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X100SCMH
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X100SCMH 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 MAC50X100SCMH
Choose the MAC50X100SCMH when a 50 mm bore must swing a mid-weight load through 100 mm: 981 N extend and 881 N retract at 0.5 MPa, double acting with adjustable air cushions at each end. It lives happily anywhere in the 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) range and the 30-800 mm/s speed band, and the CM round-end rear cover gives a clean, low-profile tail.
Budget about 589 N of realistic push at 0.5 MPa - the 981 N rating cut back for genuine duty - which is close to a 50 kg vertical lift kept to a 2:1 margin. The riveted stainless construction and 20 um hard-chrome rod stand up to outdoor and washdown air, and because the magnet is built in as standard, CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches simply snap over the barrel.

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 MAC50X100SCMH Is Used
Hopper gate on a granulate dryer
Cracks a slide gate to discharge 45 kg batches of plastic granulate; the cushion quiets the gate seat on every cycle.
Level lift on a robot magazine
Raises a tool magazine by 100 mm to the interchange height; the derated lift of about 50 kg matches a typical magazine weight with margin.
Clamp-and-release on a tube welder
Clamps steel tube into a rotary welder chuck with 981 N of grip, releasing on a cushioned retract so the part never jumps.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X100SCMH the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty the 40 mm bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier work the 63 mm bore reaches 1558 N. At 100 mm of stroke keep side loads off the 16 mm rod - an I or Y rod knuckle protects it on swinging jobs. Air lost or a centred valve means the piston coasts freely, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must hold. FA flange, LB foot and SDB bracket mounts bolt on as the frame demands.
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 MAC50X100SCMH FAQ
Push 981 N and pull 881 N at 0.5 MPa; push 1374 N and pull 1233 N at 0.7 MPa; roughly 200 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Bore 50 mm, stroke 100 mm, rod 16 mm, 1/4" port, with variable cushioning at both ends.
Yes, at any time: the magnet is already in the piston as standard equipment. CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip onto the stainless barrel without draining the air or ordering a special cylinder, giving repeatable signals at either end of the 100 mm travel.
