The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X115SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 115mm 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.
The MAC50X115SCA pairs a 115 mm stroke with 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa from a 50 mm bore, making it a cushioned double acting mini cylinder for medium-reach motions. Retraction pulls 881 N at the same pressure, and 1/4" ports feed both chambers.
Between a riveted stainless barrel and a 20 um hard-chrome rod, the body laughs at damp shops, splash zones and outdoor cabinets. The CA pivot back cover swings from a clevis without adapters, and the magnet shipped as standard accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches anywhere along the barrel. For sizing, treat about 589 N as the realistic continuous working force at 0.5 MPa.

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.

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.
Ejecting formed stampings from a press die; the 115 mm stroke clears the nest while the variable cushion protects the die face at end of stroke.
Lifting a swing gate on a bottling line to divert bottles between lanes; the pivot mount tracks the gate arc cleanly.
Kicking rejected castings off an inspection belt; 981 N at 0.5 MPa moves parts well over 50 kg with margin to spare.
Step down to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is light, or up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N) for heavy ejection work. Because the rod is unsupported over 115 mm, check side loads and add external guides when the tooling overhangs. Without air the piston simply drifts - a pilot check valve or rod lock is the answer for held positions. The standard magnet plus a CMSG or DMSG switch covers end-of-stroke detection.
Quick checklist
Push is 981 N and pull 881 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 1374 N and pull to 1233 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is roughly 200 kgf. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of filtered air at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. Every MAC ships with a built-in magnet on the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches snap onto the barrel without a special-order piston or rework. Mount the switch anywhere along the 115 mm stroke to signal mid-position, extend or retract.
