Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X15SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X15SU 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 MAC50X15SU
Nothing exotic here - just a tough 50 mm stainless mini that turns shop air into 981 N of push and 881 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa). As a 100 kgf-class double-acting cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends, it covers clamping, pushing and ejecting duties between 30 and 800 mm/s on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) line.
Lift-wise, the 981 N push equals about 100 kg vertical; keep a 2:1 margin and you can still raise roughly 50 kg parts all day. The hard-chrome plated rod runs in a stainless barrel whose aluminium covers are rolled on for a sealed body with nothing to work loose under vibration. A magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop straight on, and the U flat-end back cover seats flat against machine plates.

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 MAC50X15SU Is Used
Plasma table hold-down
Clamp sheet steel flat on a plasma cutting bed; 981 N at 0.5 MPa pins the plate while the torch cuts, and the magnet reports clamp state.
Part push-off at a stop
Knock finished housings off a roller conveyor stop into a bin; 15 mm is enough to clear the part past the stop edge.
Press-fit terminal insert
Press terminals or inserts into plastic housings on an assembly bench, with 1374 N on tap at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X15SU the Right Cylinder?
Match the bore to the job: 628 N push at 0.5 MPa from a 40 mm bore covers lighter fixtures, while the 63 mm bore's 1558 N handles serious presses. This 50 mm version, delivering 981 N, is the balanced pick for general machine building. Its air cushion softens arrivals but exerts no holding force - park a load against a pilot check valve or rod lock when supply fails. The flat-end U cover plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB brackets, with I/Y knuckles on the M14x1.5 rod thread, covers most layouts.
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 MAC50X15SU FAQ
981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 1374 N push and 1233 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 200 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/4" ports, 16 mm rod with M14x1.5 male thread.
The flat-end U cover bolts directly to plates and brackets, and AirTAC's FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot accessories bolt on when the layout needs fixed or pivoted anchoring. Add an I or Y rod knuckle if the tooling needs a swivelling link.
