Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SU 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 MAC50X175SU
Flat-ended and compact, the MAC50X175SU pairs AirTAC's U back cover with a 50 mm bore and 175 mm stroke. Air on both ports drives the piston either way - double acting by design - and a variable air cushion trims the landing at each end. Push force reaches 981 N at 0.5 MPa within a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) window; rod speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
Inside, a two-way piston seal stores its own grease, cutting dry-friction wear over long duty cycles. The barrel is stainless steel, the 16 mm rod hard-chrome plated, and the aluminium covers riveted on for a sealed round body that laughs at humid or rinsed-down stations. The magnet is built in as standard, ready for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. For real-world sizing, count on roughly 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 50 kg lifted 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 MAC50X175SU Is Used
Carton squarer on a case packer
Squares stacks of cartons at the packer outfeed, the flat U end bolting flush to the machine frame plate.
Enclosure clamp on an IP test rig
Clamps aluminium electronics enclosures during repeat water-ingress cycling at about 500 N, comfortably inside the 589 N working budget.
Solar frame corner-key press
Presses corner keys into aluminium solar panel frames over a 175 mm approach, the cushion absorbing the set.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X175SU the Right Cylinder?
Compare the ladder at 0.5 MPa before committing: 40 mm bore gives 628 N, this 50 mm bore 981 N, and 63 mm gives 1558 N - pick by load plus margin, not by bore looks. The U flat end sits flush against plates and machine frames, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets extend the mounting options; rod thread is M14x1.5 and ports are 1/4". If the cycle must hold position through a power drop, a bare MAC will coast - pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. Long strokes like 175 mm deserve external guidance to keep bending loads 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 MAC50X175SU FAQ
Push is 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 1373.8 N at 0.7 MPa; pull is 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.1 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The stainless-steel barrel, hard-chrome plated rod and riveted aluminium covers resist rust and mild splash far better than painted mini cylinders, a common reason it is picked for food and outdoor stations. The fluid must be air filtered to 40 um, not water or oil directly.
