Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SCM 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 MAC50X175SCM
With a CM round-end back cover and 175 mm of travel, this 50 mm bore MAC cylinder from AirTAC pushes 981 N at 0.5 MPa and pulls 881 N - double acting, with adjustable air cushions damping the stroke at both ends. It runs on air filtered to 40 um, supplied at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with rod speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted body pairs a stainless-steel tube with a 16 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, a combination that stands up to splash, humidity and outdoor exposure far better than painted mini cylinders. A magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches can be added at any time for end-of-stroke detection. For everyday sizing, budget near 589 N of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, or about 50 kg of vertical lift once a 2:1 margin is applied.

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 MAC50X175SCM Is Used
Can transfer lift at a dairy filler
Raises 20 kg stainless cans through a 175 mm transfer station; the stainless barrel tolerates the daily caustic rinse-down.
Die table blank ejector
Kicks formed aluminium blanks off a stamping die after each cycle, the CM round end bolting straight to a fixed riser block.
Lid press on tub filling line
Presses snap-on lids onto food tubs around 30 kg gross, the cushioned landing protecting the sealing surfaces.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SCM the Right Cylinder?
Force ladder at 0.5 MPa: the 40 mm bore delivers 628 N, this 50 mm model 981 N, and the 63 mm bore 1558 N, so the choice is a straight force call - the 1/4" port and M14x1.5 rod thread stay fixed by bore size. Keep in mind the piston is free to move once the valve centres: nothing in a bare MAC pins the load, so specify a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must persist. The round-end CM back cover takes a fixed stud or bracket directly, with FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware adding base-mount options. Across 175 mm of stroke, support the load externally so the 16 mm rod never sees bending.
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 MAC50X175SCM FAQ
The MAC50X175SCM delivers 981.3 N push and 880.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A clean rounded face for direct fixed mounting without adapter brackets. On first startup, unscrew both cushion needles fully and close them in steps until end-of-stroke bounce disappears; the variable air cushion works identically at each end of the 175 mm stroke.
