Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X10SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X10SU 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 MAC50X10SU
A 10 mm stroke on a 50 mm bore turns air into 981 N of push and 881 N of pull at 0.5 MPa - ideal where space is tight but the part refuses to budge. Construction is a riveted package: stainless-steel barrel, aluminium-alloy front and back covers and a stainless block, with the 16 mm carbon-steel rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um against wear and rust. Being double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it stops softly even when cycled near the top of the 30-800 mm/s range.
Weigh your part against the lift figure: this bore raises about 100 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa, so anything up to 50 kg keeps a 2:1 margin. The flat-end U back cover sits flush against fixed plates without brackets, and the built-in standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches straight from stock. Proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi); operating 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 MAC50X10SU Is Used
Die locator on a punch press bolster
A firm 10 mm nudge seats misaligned blanks before the press fires, with the flat-end U cover bolted right to the bolster.
Stop pin on an electronics fixture pallet
About 589 N of dependable push locks pallets against a hard stop, and the cushion kills the clunk on every index.
Lid press nib on a cosmetics filling line
The short stroke presses caps home with 981 N behind it, while the stainless barrel copes with frequent line wipe-downs.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X10SU the Right Cylinder?
Between the 40 mm bore's 628 N and the 63 mm bore's 1558 N at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm unit covers the middle with headroom. Remember it is not a holding cylinder: with the valve centred or the air off, the piston drifts under load, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock when the position must be kept. The U flat end suits direct bolting; an FA flange or LB foot adapts it to other faces, and I or Y knuckles clean up the rod connection. Keep external guides on the load to protect the short 10 mm stroke from side thrust.
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 MAC50X10SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 981 N and retracts with 881 N; raise supply to 0.7 MPa and those become 1374 N push and 1233 N pull. Theoretical peak for this 50 mm bore is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/4 inch with an M14x1.5 rod thread.
No. The MAC is double acting with an air cushion, not a brake - once supply drops or the valve centres, the rod moves freely under load. Fit a rod lock cylinder or a pilot check valve in the port line wherever the 10 mm position must be maintained.
