Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X150SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X150SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm 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 MAC50X150SCA
Strokes this long usually force a jump to a bigger frame, but the MAC50X150SCA delivers 150 mm of travel from the compact 50 mm MA bore - 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa - with a variable air cushion at both ends to tame the impact of a fast, heavy stroke. The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated rod resist the washdown and weather that wreck painted cylinders, while the riveted aluminium covers keep the packing tight.
Budget about 589 N for the actual job at 0.5 MPa, and note the vertical equivalent: around 100 kg theoretical, or 50 kg of part weight with a 2:1 margin. The CA pivot back cover drops into pivoting linkages, the piston magnet is fitted as standard for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches, and 1/4" ports with an M14x1.5 male rod thread keep installation quick. Pressure band 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); speed 30-800 mm/s; air filtered to 40 um.

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 MAC50X150SCA Is Used
Tote diverter at a sortation junction
Sliding totes across a sortation junction on a 150 mm traverse; about 589 N of working push moves a loaded tote instantly.
Grain spout slide gate
Opening and closing a knife-gate on a grain transfer spout - the stainless barrel and chrome rod stand up to dust, damp grain and outdoor mounting.
Thermoformer mold ejection
Ejecting formed trays from a thermoformer mold cavity; the 150 mm stroke clears the tool while the cushion keeps the ejection plate from slamming home.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter work or up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N) for more; this 50 mm unit is the match for jobs needing close to 589 N of real effort over a long 150 mm travel. Because it is double acting with no mechanical lock, the rod will drift under gravity when air is removed - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a lifted load. The CA pivot back cover bolts straight into swinging linkages, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot cover fixed frames; with this much stroke, guide the load so the 16 mm rod sees thrust only.
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 MAC50X150SCA FAQ
Use 981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa as the baseline, 1374 N push and 1233 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 200.1 kgf as the theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. In practice reserve about 40 percent, leaving near 589 N of working force.
No. As a double-acting cylinder it drifts whenever supply pressure drops or the valve centres, since the cushion only softens the last few millimetres and never acts as a brake. Add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a raised 50 kg-class load must stay put.
