Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm 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 MAC50X175SCA
A 50 mm bore MAC cylinder with 175 mm stroke and a CA pivot back cover, the MAC50X175SCA moves air on both sides of the piston: double acting, with a variable air cushion at each end to soften impact. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N, inside a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating window and a 30-800 mm/s speed range, proof tested at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Build quality is where this mini earns its keep: a stainless-steel barrel, a 16 mm hard-chrome plated rod, and aluminium-alloy covers rolled onto the tube for a riveted, sealed body that shrugs off damp shop air and washdown better than painted minis. A magnet comes built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on. Plan on about 589 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa - enough to lift about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 MAC50X175SCA Is Used
Crate lifter on a bottle line
A pivoting lift arm raises 25 kg glass crates 175 mm between rinser and filler, with the cushion stopping bottles from jolting at top of stroke.
Car-door welding fixture clamp
A swing-type clamp presses sheet steel with roughly 800 N, the CA pivot eye letting the cylinder track the link arm through its arc.
Tote pusher at a sortation diverter
Pushes totes across a sorting conveyor into a lane; the 175 mm stroke clears the belt and the air cushion saves the end stop.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SCA the Right Cylinder?
Size check: a 40 mm bore MAC pushes 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 63 mm buys 1558 N - this 50 mm bore sits between them at 981 N. Ports are 1/4" (fixed by bore) and the rod carries an M14x1.5 male thread. Like any double-acting cylinder without a rod lock, the MAC50X175SCA will drift when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The CA pivot back cover mounts straight onto a clevis-style linkage, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on when the job calls for a fixed base. At 175 mm of travel, guide the load externally so side force stays off the 16 mm rod.
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 MAC50X175SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull; the theoretical ceiling is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes - every unit ships with the piston magnet fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches click onto the barrel without a special-order piston. Before first run, back both cushion needle screws off, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke bounce disappears.
