Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X10SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm 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 MAC50X10SCA
Short throws still need serious force, and a 10 mm stroke from the 50 mm MAC bore provides exactly that: 981 N pushing and 881 N pulling at 0.5 MPa from a body barely longer than its stroke. The stainless round barrel is rolled onto aluminium-alloy covers and a stainless block, and the 16 mm hard-chrome rod runs in grease-storing two-way seals for long service in dry or damp air. A variable air cushion at each end protects the covers even on very quick, very short cycles.
For everyday sizing, treat the honest figure as about 589 N of push at 0.5 MPa - the 0.6 margin covers seal drag and pressure drop. The CA pivot back cover pins straight into linkage eyes, and since the magnet is standard there is no special-order step to add CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Supply pressure can run anywhere in 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 MAC50X10SCA Is Used
Clamp fixture on a CNC milling vise
The 10 mm stroke closes a swing clamp over a machined part, with 981 N at 0.5 MPa holding it through heavy cuts.
Part-present poppet on an electronics indexer
A short kick confirms board seating while a DMSG switch on the standard magnet signals completion back to the PLC.
Hold-down on a carton taping head
Cushioned 10 mm strokes press the flap flat, and the stainless body tolerates adhesive mist and damp warehouse air.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
If 981 N at 0.5 MPa overshoots a light clamp, a 40 mm bore saves space at 628 N; if the throw must hit harder still, 63 mm delivers 1558 N. Expect the rod to drift freely whenever supply air is removed - the cushion absorbs shock but never locks position - so use a check valve or rod lock for held clamps. At a 10 mm stroke side load is rarely an issue, but keep the pivot pin axis square to the bore. Combine the CA pivot with an SDB bracket or FA flange where the mounting face varies.
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 MAC50X10SCA FAQ
Push is 981 N and pull 881 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa these become 1374 N and 1233 N. The 50 mm bore tops out at 200.1 kgf theoretical force at 1.0 MPa. Port size is 1/4 inch, rod thread M14x1.5, speed 30-800 mm/s.
The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod resist mild corrosion, condensation and periodic washdown that quickly blister painted mini cylinders - useful in food, outdoor and coolant-heavy cells without stepping up to a full washdown-rated actuator.
