The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X150SUH 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.
Force first: at 0.5 MPa this 50 mm bore pushes with 981 N and pulls with 881 N, roughly a 100 kgf shove, climbing to 1374 N at 0.7 MPa. The MAC50X150SUH is double acting - air drives the rod both ways - and carries a variable air cushion at each end, so you can run the rod up to 800 mm/s and still arrive quietly. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um.
Build quality is where it earns its keep: a stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium covers, with a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod that shrugs off washdown and humid air better than painted minis. The magnet comes fitted as standard, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches snap on for end-of-stroke sensing, while the U flat-end back cover mounts flush against fixed plates. For the 150 mm travel, keep the rod coupler aligned so side load never bends the 16 mm pin.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
A 150 mm throw clears a full carton width off a packaging conveyor; 981 N at 0.5 MPa shoves loaded cases sideways without stalling.
Halve the 100 kg push equivalent for a 2:1 margin and the rod lifts about 50 kg vertically - enough to index a small welding fixture.
The stainless barrel and chrome rod tolerate daily hose-down on food lines, opening a diverter gate between two filler lanes.
Sizing check: one step down, a 40 mm bore of this family gives 628 N push at 0.5 MPa; one step up, the 63 mm bore reaches 1558 N. Sit at 589 N of usable push if you want margin on this 50 mm unit. Remember the cushion damps arrival but holds nothing - if the load must stay put on air loss, fit a pilot check valve or rod lock. Mount via FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket, or add an I/Y rod knuckle; the trailing H in the suffix is worth a quick confirm from datasheet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 981 N push and 881 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 1374 N push and 1233 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s with 1/4" ports and a 16 mm rod with M14x1.5 male thread.
Yes. Every MAC cylinder leaves the factory with a magnet built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel with no special-order piston and no retrofit work.
