Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X15SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X15SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 15mm 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 MAC50X15SCM
Short punch, long muscle: in 15 mm of travel the MAC50X15SCM pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 1374 N at 0.7 MPa - a theoretical 200 kgf at full 1.0 MPa supply. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so even a hard 800 mm/s arrival lands soft once the needle screws are tuned.
The round-body construction pairs a stainless steel tube with aluminium covers and a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod, riveted into one sealed unit that copes with humidity and light washdown. Out of the box the magnet is already installed - no option code needed - so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches detect position immediately. The CM round-end back cover presents a clean cylindrical boss for custom brackets or pin mounts.

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 MAC50X15SCM Is Used
Locating pin advance
Drive a locating pin into machining fixture bushings; the 15 mm stroke matches typical pin travel and 981 N seats it firmly.
Bottling star-wheel indexing
Nudge a star wheel one position per cycle on a bottling line; the standard magnet gives a position signal to the filler controller.
Bench punch and mark station
Stamp or mark steel tags and brackets at a workbench; 1374 N at 0.7 MPa imprints cleanly in one quick stroke.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X15SCM the Right Cylinder?
For perspective, a 40 mm bore delivers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 63 mm bore 1558 N, so this 50 mm unit sits squarely in the middle heavy-duty tier. Derate to roughly 589 N of working push and the cylinder will live a long life. When air is lost or the valve centres, the piston simply drifts - a pilot check valve or rod lock is the answer where a load must stay parked. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets adapt the round-end CM cover to machine frames.
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 MAC50X15SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N. At 0.7 MPa: 1374 N push, 1233 N pull. Maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf. The cylinder accepts 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and runs 30-800 mm/s on 1/4" ports.
Back both cushion needle screws fully off, then close them gradually while cycling until the end-of-stroke thump disappears. The variable air cushion at each end absorbs arrival energy, letting you run faster cycles or heavier loads without hammering the covers.
