Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X130SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X130SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 130mm 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 MAC50X130SCA
At a 130 mm stroke, the MAC50X130SCA spans slightly more travel than the common 125 mm size while keeping the cushioned 50 mm MAC build: double acting, variable air cushions both ends, 30-800 mm/s speed. On 0.5 MPa it develops 981 N of push and 881 N of pull; 0.7 MPa raises push to 1374 N against a theoretical 200 kgf maximum.
The longer working travel calls for clean rod alignment, since side load at the tool plate bends a 16 mm rod faster than thrust alone ever will. Body construction stays the proven riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod pairing that survives humid, mildly corrosive air without paint flaking into the process. Working from the 981 N push, load the job to about 588 N for a solid 0.5 MPa margin, and treat the same force as a 50 kg vertical lift after halving its 100 kg equivalent. The standard magnet suits CMSG and EMSG switches without any option code.

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 MAC50X130SCA Is Used
Slide gate on a hopper
The 130 mm travel opens a grit hopper slide fully, 981 N at 0.5 MPa shearing compacted granulate loose at each cycle.
Stretch test rig
Pulls a test coupon 130 mm at a controlled 30-800 mm/s, the 881 N pull force covering polymer and thin stock samples.
Door actuator on an oven line
Swings a heavy insulation door via the CA pivot eye, the stainless body coping with heat-adjacent humid air that rusts painted units.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X130SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare across the range: 40 mm gives 628 N at 0.5 MPa, 63 mm gives 1558 N, and this 50 mm bore lands at 981 N. A 130 mm stroke adds a longer lever for side load, so guide the tool plate or accept shortened rod life - the cushion screws only soften the final approach, not mid-stroke bending. There is no built-in hold - an unpowered piston drifts, so spec a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load hangs. FA / LB / SDB mounts, the CA pivot cover and 1/4 ports round out the package.
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 MAC50X130SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 1374 N and pull 1233 N, with a theoretical 200 kgf maximum. Ports are 1/4 on this 50 mm bore, rod thread M14x1.5, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
No. As a plain double acting cylinder it drifts freely once air is removed or the valve centres - the variable air cushion only softens the final approach, it never locks. For a suspended load add a rod lock or pilot check valve so the 981 N-rated piston stays put.
