The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X150SCM 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.
Double acting and cushioned at both ends, the MAC50X150SCM moves its 150 mm stroke with 981.3 N of push and 880.8 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (73 psi), rising to 1373.8 N at 0.7 MPa (102 psi). A 16 mm hard-chrome rod runs in a stainless round barrel whose rolled aluminium covers keep the body sealed.
The variable air cushion is your shock dial: back the needle screws off before first run, then close them gradually until the end-of-stroke bang disappears - you can then run faster or carry heavier loads without hammering the covers. Halve the 100 kg theoretical lift for a 2:1 margin and this bore will raise about 50 kg vertically with confidence. The standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the CM round-end back cover suits fixed or pivoted mounts alike.

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.
Clamping a machining fixture onto a CNC table: 981 N of push seats the part, and the CM round-end cover bolts flush to the fixture body.
Ejecting stacked pallets from a warehouse dispenser, then pulling the empty stack home again on 880.8 N of retraction force.
Driving the 150 mm feed stroke of a pilot-scale mixing station, where constant humidity rules out plain painted-steel bodies.
If 981 N overshoots the job, the 40 mm bore still gives 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa (73 psi); when a heavier die needs more, the 63 mm bore lifts push to 1557.9 N. This cylinder will not park itself - centre the valve or lose pressure and the 150 mm stroke drifts, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock where holding matters. The CM round-end cover mounts direct, or choose FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot hardware; fit an I or Y rod knuckle to keep side loads off the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
Push is 981.3 N and pull 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa (73 psi); at 0.7 MPa (102 psi) push reaches 1373.8 N, and the theoretical maximum is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating window 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), stroke speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/4" ports, M14x1.5 rod thread.
Yes - the round barrel is stainless steel and the 16 mm rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, so washdown, humidity and mild outdoor exposure will not flake or pit the way plain painted minis do. The aluminium alloy covers are rolled and riveted into the barrel for a sealed body.
