Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X105SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X105SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 105mm 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 MAC50X105SCA
Painted mini cylinders flake and seize in damp workshops; the MAC50X105SCA avoids that with a stainless round barrel riveted to aluminium covers and a stainless block, plus a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod that wipes clean in washdown areas. Double-acting air gives 981 N of push and 881 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, and the variable air cushion at both ends can be dialled in to match each stroke end. The 105 mm stroke suits linkage and lever mechanisms that need a little extra travel.
Think in real weights: at 0.5 MPa this bore lifts about 100 kg vertically, so size the load at roughly 50 kg for a 2:1 margin. The CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis or pin directly for swinging linkages, and the standard magnet means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without ordering a special piston. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi); operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 MAC50X105SCA Is Used
Kicker arm diverting cartons on a distribution conveyor
Pivoting from the CA back cover, the 105 mm stroke swings cartons onto a takeaway belt with 981 N of push behind it.
Ejection linkage on an injection moulding fixture
The bore's 100 kg vertical lift equivalent trips heavy ejector plates easily, with the variable cushion absorbing the snap at each end.
Swing clamp arm in an automotive welding cell
About 589 N of usable force clamps panels through a lever, and the stainless barrel stands up to coolant mist and humid shop air.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X105SCA the Right Cylinder?
A 40 mm bore delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa if the mechanism turns out lighter than expected, while 63 mm gives 1558 N for heavier kicker arms. Because a plain MAC releases its rod the moment air drops - it holds nothing on its own - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever the linkage must stay parked. The CA pivot eye is made for rotating mounts; add an SDB bracket for base pivots or an LB foot for fixed beds. On a 105 mm stroke, external guides help keep side load off the 16 mm rod.
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 MAC50X105SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 981 N push, 881 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 1374 N push, 1233 N pull. Maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200.1 kgf. The 16 mm rod carries an M14x1.5 male thread and the air ports are 1/4 inch.
No. Every MAC ships with a magnet built into the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip onto the barrel whenever end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals are needed.
